The chips are already compatible with Microsoft's DirectX 11, a set of tools that can offload tasks to GPUs to speed up application performance. With help from operating systems, Fusion chips will achieve the processing power of graphics processing units to speed up applications such as imaging or video. The company is initially aiming at netbooks with the chip and the company last week also said that future Fusion chips will go into tablets. But AMD early next year plans to release a new family of chips called Fusion, which merge the CPU and graphics processor onto one chip. The OS already works with x86 chips, making it compatible with AMD's existing processors. Development efforts are being managed by The Linux Foundation. MeeGo 1.1 that is being targeted for release later this year will offer compatibility. An initial test release was made available in early April, but yesterdays MeeGo 1.0 release is the first where they are providing a stable netbook version. Meegos development is managed by The Linux Foundation. The Meego OS, announced in February, merges Intels Moblin and Nokias Maemo Linux-based operating systems. Intel and Nokia in February announced MeeGo, which is a lightweight OS designed for low-power computers, handhelds and embedded devices. The MeeGo operating system as a joint project between Intel and Nokia was announced back in February. Intel has opened up Meego to Arm processors but is also investing heavily in software development for its upcoming Moorestown chips, which will go into smartphones. ![]()
