The great thing about AMD is that new way in which they are heading is looking very promising. They’ve stepped out form the race with Intel for the fastest and most powerful mega-giga-ultra-almighty CPU, and focused on the things that brings them money (mainstream, GPU, APU, SOC) and in which they are good at. After Fusion, The future has a new name – Trinity. 

The notebook based on Trinity was able to provide a decent FPS in DIRT 3 in FullHD and with a lot of details maxed, while on desktop side integrated graphic had no problems with triple-monitor Eyefinity setup of the above mentioned game.

. Of course, details were a bit lower, but FPS was way higher than the magical number 30. Once again, we are talking 5760x1080 pixels resolution, and a game which is not familiar as something that you can play on any PC. As expected step into 28nm provided good base for other products, and AMD said that in 2013. graphics and all APU line-up (performance, low power and ultra low power) will be in 28nm.

All in all HSA looks very good, low power Trinity APUs will be close to 30% faster than previous generation when it comes to productivity, and more important, more than 50% better in visual performance. The 12h battery life is included in the notebook side, alongside with Turbo Core 3.0 and HD Media accelerator capabilities, and all that with TDP that starts with 17W. 

When you include that in the equation, you get great platform for ultrathin notebooks capable of delivering great visual and computing performance with great battery life.
