AMD长期以来一直是英特尔(Intel)的竞争对手,但多年来该公司未能有效竞争。然而,随着其Ryzen计算机处理器的发布,AMD正慢慢成为家喻户晓的名字,因为它希望大幅增加其市场份额。该公司旨在实现这一目标的方法之一是发布具有加速处理单元(Accelerated Processing Unit)( APU ) 的计算机,而不是常规处理器和图形卡设计。
APU的解释和好处
什么是 APU
AMD 加速处理单元(AMD Accelerated Processing Unit)( APU ),以前称为Fusion,旨在充当单个芯片上的中央处理单元(Central Processing Unit)( CPU ) 和图形(Graphics) 处理单元(Processing Unit)( GPU )。
您会看到,大多数计算机都装有一个中央处理器(Central Processing Unit)( CPU ) 和一个图形处理器(Processing Unit)( GPU ),它们在主板上彼此分离。
但APU(APU)设计并非如此,因为处理器和GPU位于单个芯片上。现在,将所有东西都添加到单个模具上的原因主要是为了降低成本并为其他重要组件腾出更多空间。
此外,与竞争对手相比,内置APU(APUs)的系统往往需要更少的功率,这对于笔记本电脑和视频游戏机来说非常有用,例如从Xbox One开始的(Xbox One)Xbox系列设备。
APU 的好处
构建计算机可能需要时间和大量精力,尤其是如果您不知道自己到底想要什么,因为有很多选择可供选择。通过使用APU,许多选项都被抛弃了,这意味着构建自己的装备的任务变得更加容易。
APU(APUs)的另一个重要方面是效率。因为处理器和GPU在同一个芯片上,所以它们可以共享资源。不仅如此,而且如上所述,用户应该会看到功耗下降。
然后是节省成本的措施。APU(APUs)通常更便宜,因此对于那些希望节省一些现金的人来说,此时走这条路可能是他们最好的选择。
现在,此时此刻,还不可能制造出比常规设计强大得多的计算机。此外,您也不能购买一台,除非您考虑即将推出的下一代游戏机,它们是计算机,但不是传统意义上的。
不适合玩游戏
我们可以肯定地说,内置APU的笔记本电脑或台式电脑可能会比普通电脑上的集成GPU提供更好的性能。但是,它不会超过独立的GPU,因此,高级游戏只是一个不行。
总而言之,随着APU计算机系统越来越受欢迎,我们预计在未来几年会看到更多的APU计算机系统。(APU)得益于高通(Qualcomm)及其Snapdragon芯片组,这些类型的系统已经在移动领域很受欢迎。
What is an APU processor? How is APU for gaming?
AMD has long bеen a competitоr to Intel, bυt for years the company failed to compete effectivelу. Hоwever, with the release of іts Ryzen computer processors, AMD іs slowly becоming a housеhold name as it looks to increase its market share а great deal. One оf the wayѕ the company is aiming to do this is by releasing computers with an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) instead of a regular processor and graphic card design.
Explanation of APU and the benefits
What is an APU
The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), earlier called Fusion, is designed to act as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on a single die.
You see, most computers come packed with a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) that are separated from each other on the motherboard.
But that is not the case with the APU design since the processor and the GPU are situated on a single die. Now, the reason for adding everything on a single die is mostly due to cost-cutting measures and making more room for other important components.
Additionally, systems with APUs inside tend to require less power than the competition, which is great for laptops and video game consoles such as the Xbox line of devices starting from the Xbox One.
Benefits of an APU
Building a computer can take time and a lot of effort, especially if you have no idea what you want exactly since there are so many options to choose from. By using an APU, much of the options are thrown out, which means, the task of building your own rig becomes much easier.
Another great aspect of APUs is efficiency. Because the processor and the GPU are on the same die, they can share resources. Not only that but as stated above, users should see a decrease in power consumption.
And then there are the cost-saving measures. APUs generally cheaper, so for those who wish to save some cash, going this route might be their best bet at this time.
Now, at this moment in time, it is not yet possible to build a computer that is much powerful than the regular design. Additionally, you can’t buy one either, unless you consider the upcoming next-generation consoles, which are computers but not in the traditional sense.
Not great for gaming
We can say for certain that a laptop or desktop computer with an APU inside will likely deliver better performance than the integrated GPU on a regular computer. However, it will not surpass an independent GPU, therefore, high-level gaming is just a no.
All in all, we expect to see more APU computer systems in the years to come as they are gaining popularity. These types of systems are already popular in the mobile landscape thanks to Qualcomm and its Snapdragon chipsets.
