This time, the APU is used is AMD C-50 and the category is a netbook. What? Netbook? Yes, this is AMD's netbook is powered APU. What are the benefits? Let us refer to the following reviews.

AMD processors used in the Aspire One 522 is one of the first Fusion processors from AMD, C-50. Fusion processors are no results for the merger of the processor and VGA.

AMD C-50 is the APU is designed for netbooks and even tablets. APU has 2 1 GHz core speed. Do not get me wrong. Although only 1 GHz, C-50 has a working system like a modern processor. C-50 using the method of execution out-of-order, where orders can be done based on priority and the most appropriate sequence to ensure the process runs as quickly as possible. This is very different than the Atom which uses in-order method, where all orders will be done in sequence, depending on whichever is the earlier orders given.
