09.10.2012 - AMD annuncia la APU low-power Z-60 per i tablet ad alte prestazioni

Advanced Micro Devices ha annunciato la APU AMD Z-60, una soluzione che può vantare il più basso consumo di potenza tra tutti i chip di tipo Accelerated Processing Unit firmati AMD, orientata ai tablet ad alte prestazioni e ai PC di tipo SFF (Small Form Factor).

In accordo al produttore, la APU AMD Z-60 può vantare il pieno supporto del nuovo Sistema Operativo Windows 8, ma anche la compatibilità con Windows 7 e le applicazioni sviluppate per quest'ultimo.

AMD promette elevate prestazioni in ambito grafico, in virtù della sezione grafica della APU, che sostanzialmente coincide con una Radeon dotata di supporto in hardware per le APU grafiche Microsoft Direct X 11. La APU Z-60 gestisce inoltre una uscita video/audio di tipo HDMI con cui può inviare a una device di output dei filmati in Full HD (1080p).

AMD ha reso note le seguenti specifiche della nuova APU Z-60: sezione grafica basata su una Radeon HD 6250 con 80 core, due CPU core che lavorano a 1GHz, supporto di USB 3.0 e una cache L2 da 1MB.

AMD announced its latest entry in the performance tablet and small form factor PC market with the AMD Z-60 Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). The AMD Z-60 is AMD's lowest power APU, delivering unprecedented performance and AMD AllDay power for tablet form factors as thin as 10mm. A compelling combination of features, stunning graphics, support for the latest Microsoft Windows 8 applications and user interfaces, as well as compatibility with Windows 7 and the full-suite of legacy Windows applications, makes the AMD Z-60 APU an ideal solution for a range of designs.

The first tablets based on the AMD Z-60 APU are expected to launch globally this year in conjunction with availability of Windows 8.

"Tablet users seeking an uncompromised experience for both creating and consuming content on the Microsoft Windows 8 platform now have a performance-driven, affordable option with the AMD Z-60 APU," said Steve Belt, corporate vice president of Ultra-Low Power Products, AMD. "We see a large gap between the lower performance and high-price competitive offerings that allow AMD to be in tablet designs that will please our customers and end users alike."

The AMD Z-60 APU comes loaded with features designed to enhance the tablet experience, including AMD Start Now technology that allows fast boot and resume from sleep times, up to eight hours of battery life while Web browsing, and up to six hours of HD video playback. Just as impressive is the stunning visual quality delivered by the AMD Radeon graphics on the APU, with support for full HD 1080p resolution, HDMI output for external displays, and impressive gaming performance with Microsoft Direct X 11 capability.

Tablets with AMD APUs can also leverage the AMD AppZone, a one-stop resource for accessing popular applications that can take advantage of the full compute capability of the processor.

Availability
The AMD Z-60 APU is shipping today to customers that are expected to launch systems later this year.
