AMD Fusion APU gets its first public demo at Computex (video)

Hey, what do you know — the Fusion lives! AMD’s CPU / GPU hybrid, which sounded so revolutionary back when it was first thought up , has finally shown off its Accelerated Processing grunt by chewing through a section of Aliens vs Predator live on stage at Computex. We can’t say we were exactly bowled over by the performance — the demo was just a leisurely walk through some leafy terrain, yet still seemed to dip below 30 frames a second at a few points, showing that the APU wasn’t all that comfortable handling the DirectX 11 tasks that were put upon it. This chip is targeted at ultraportables, however, and that’s a crowd with distinctly lower standards than your usual desktop gamer, so maybe there’s a future for this 2011-bound slice of silicon after all.
