21.12.2011 - AMD annuncia nuove APU A-Series per desktop e per notebook

AMD ha annunciato l'ampliamento della propria gamma di Accelerated Processing Units (APU) A-Series con cinque nuovi modelli indirizzati al comparto desktop (le denominazioni commerciali di tali chip sono: A8-3870K, A8-3820, A6-3670K, A6-3670 e A4-3420) e otto nuove SKU dedicate ai notebook (A8-3550MX, A8-3550M, A6-3430MX, A6-3430M, A4-3330MX, A4-3330M, A4-3305M e E2-3000M).

Le nuove APU sono basate su una architettura di tipo quad-core in alcuni casi e di tipo dual-core in altri: le soluzioni più performanti, sia in ambito desktop che notebook, abbinano quattro core x86 (con una frequenza massima di base pari a 3.0GHz per la variante desktop, ndr) a 400 core Radeon, dotati di pieno supporto delle API DirectX 11 e pienamente in grado di lavorare con il playback in HD.

AMD sottolinea inoltre che alcune tra le nuove APU per desktop sono state progettate per lavorare anche in overclocking ("unlocked").

Segue il dettaglio relativo ai nuovi chip.

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today updated its A-Series line-up of desktop and notebook Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), further improving its top-performing family of dual- and quad-core APUs. Along with speed and performance improvements, AMD Steady Video update make this unique feature more compelling than ever. For desktop users, AMD extends its overclocking pedigree to the APU; for the first time users can tune both x86 and graphics settings in a single processor for boosted performance.

The updated AMD A-Series APUs combine up to four x86 CPU cores with up to 400 Radeon cores, delivering powerful DirectX11-capable, discrete-level graphics and dedicated HD video processing on a single chip. These new APUs increase performance and deliver a richer feature set than existing AMD A-series APUs. Plus, only AMD APUs offer AMD Dual Graphics for an up to 144 percent visual performance boost when a select APU is paired with a select AMD Radeon HD 6500 Series graphics card.

The AMD A-Series family of APUs also features AMD Steady Video, designed to stabilize videos during playback – making unsteady, jumpy content look steady and smooth as you watch. On select systems using AMD A-Series APUs, Internet Explorer 9 will include an AMD Steady Video plugin, unlocking one-click control to simplify access to the premium AMD Steady Video feature for video stabilization.

All AMD A-Series processors are powered by AMD VISION Engine Software, a suite of software that provides end-users with regular updates designed to improve system performance and stability, and can add new software enhancements.
