The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), formerly known as Fusion, is the marketing
term for a series of 64-bit microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), designed to
act as a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics accelerator unit (GPU) on a single die.
AMD announced the first generation APUs, Llano for high-performance and Brazos for low-
power devices in January 2011. The second generation Trinity for high-performance
and Brazos-2for low-power devices were announced in June 2012. The third
generation Kaveri for high performance devices was launched in January 2014,
while Kabini and Temash for low-power devices were announced in the summer of 2013.
The Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One eighth generation video game consoles both
use semi-custom third generation low-power APUs.
Although they do not bear the name "APU", Intel's CPUs with integrated HD Graphics are
architecturally very similar.
