AMD (Intel too, sometimes) often goes on talking about its new technology, yet customers have shown they don't care. There are literally only two things that matter to buyers: price and "speed." Anything else is just PR hype for the investors.
- lucian1900 13y ago"Speed" is most certainly PR hype. There is no single objective measure of the "speed" of any particular hardware. Unified CPU and GPU memory is very interesting.
- jetru 13y agoUnified memory is possibly going to have performance gains because you won't need to all the crazy memory shuffling that people do on GPUs these days. Also, making programming simpler makes it cheaper. So, it seems that this is a win if they can get the price point right.
