AMD’s new Ryzen 6000 processor

AMD announced the Fusion project in 2006 after the acquisition of ATI: the integrating of a GPU with the CPU. However, Intel beat AMD to it and in January 2011 introduced the Clarkdale with an integrated GPU. AMD came out in June 2011 with the Llano and called it an APU—Accelerated Processing Unit. AMD always had more shader cores than Intel and a clever decoupled memory manager that could pass a pointer between the processors. AMD also factored the cost of the GPU silicon into the pricing of the APU whereas Intel was giving the die-eating GPU away. AMD also
