According to earlier plans of AMD, by 2014 only 2% of its processors will be released without the integrated graphics core. This clearly suggests that AMD will soon begin producing chips for servers (line of Opteron) with integrated video core. But how soon will it happen? According to our colleagues from the site of Bright Side Of News , first Opteron processors with integrated graphics will leave no later than the fourth quarter of this year. By and large, will be the first APU Opteron processors generation desktop versions of Trinity unlocked with the support of ECC-RAM.
They are present in the memory controllers Trinity by default, but it's closed for ordinary desktop and laptop models. Also, emphasis will be placed on the drivers for the "server" videoyader, which is likely to be called FirePro and should be optimized for CAD-programs. Although, from my point of view, AMD makes sense to strengthen the direction of GPGPU. APU is the server version will be more useful than a simple graph. Incidentally, the first will come to APU Opteron workstations, as expected packing connector Socket FM2. But that does not mean that the emphasis should be on the graphical component packages.
