AMD Announces Llano APUs Now Shipping!
AMD sent over an e-mail letting us know that retail production units of AMDs 32 nanometer quad-core Llano A-Series Accelerated Processor Units (APU) with discrete-level graphics are now shipping! It looks like these processors will be on the market very soon! Pictures below are the AMD employees at their facility in Singapore with the first batch of Llano APUs!
When we say we are shipping production units of any part for the first time, the next question I inevitably get asked is how does AMD define production? Fortunately, much like the title of this blog, the answer is simple. When we talk about production here at AMD, it refers to the units that will ultimately be in the systems that our OEM partners will ship to retailers or end-customers. Now of course, I cant speak for exactly when each of our OEM partners will ship systems, thats a question for them, but as our Chief Financial Officer and Interim CEO Thomas Seifert mentioned on his Webcast today, Customers are very excited about Llano coming to market and we will look forward to seeing our Llano-based systems in the market this quarter the second quarter.
