AMD processors are used in the Aspire One 722 is one of the first of AMD's Fusion processor, C-50. Fusion Processor is no result of the merger of the processor and VGA. Yes, AMD C-50 is a combination of a dual-core AMD processor with a VGA AMD (Radeon HD 6250). AMD calls the combined results of CPU and VGA as the APU (Accelerated Processor Unit).

AMD C-50 APU is designed for netbooks and even tablets. APU has 2 core speed of 1 GHz. Do not misunderstand me. Although only 1 GHz, C-50 has a working system like modern processors. C-50 using the method of execution out-of-order, which orders can be done by priority and sequence most appropriate to ensure the process runs as fast as possible. Well, how about the Atom?
