AMD has begun shipping production units of its 32nm quad-core “Llano” A-series accelerated processor units (APUs) with discrete-level graphics, it announced Wednesday. That’s well behind Intel, which began working on the 32nm process in 2009 and began shipping 32nm processors in 2010. “Once again, AMD’s late,” said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat. AMD views its positioning differently. “Customers don’t buy nanometers,” said AMD spokesperson Phil Hughes. “Our goal at AMD is to deliver the best APU every year. Visual computing technologies drive the AMD pace of innovation.”
