AMD to show upcoming laptop processors

09.01.2010
The story "AMD to show upcoming laptop processors," posted to the wire on Wednesday, incorrectly described how workloads can be divided up between CPUs and graphics processors. The story said tasks can be offloaded from graphics processors to CPUs; it should have said from CPUs to graphics processors.

The story has been corrected on the wire and the eighth paragraph now reads:

AMD has said the laptops will come with DirectX 10.1 integrated graphics accelerators. Separate graphics cards that support DirectX 11 will be available for the laptops. DirectX 11 could help improve laptop performance by offloading tasks typically done by CPUs to graphics processors. That could free up the CPU to focus on other tasks. AMD hopes to integrate graphics processors into CPUs by 2012.
