Fast & Fluid Computing
Windows 8 is set to revolutionize how we use our computers, and PCs built with AMD technology are uniquely designed to improve the Windows 8 experience.
With computers, high performance comes from two key places: the central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing unit (GPU). The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) is a new kind of processor that combines the two on one piece of silicon. Today, only AMD has both the CPU and GPU technology leadership necessary to successfully bring this gamechanging processor to reality, drastically improving everyday PC use and paving the way for new applications and features such as gesture and facial recognition. The design of the APU is also ideal for Windows 8, as the new operating system can take full advantage of the processor’s capabilities, resulting in a better overall computing experience.
Performance Beneits
With a Windows 8 PC featuring AMD hardware, the PC will boot up and resume work in seconds with AMD Start Now Technology. AMD App Acceleration lets you do more with apps and games in Windows 8 by utilizing the APU to improve the playback of streaming video, deliver stutter-free HD quality, and smoothly run multiple applications at maximum speed.
Convenience
The AMD APU is designed to be compatible with the most popular applications and devices you already use, which will help aid in the transition to Windows 8. And AMD AppZone, an online showcase for applications and games accelerated by AMD technology, allows many Android-based apps to run on Windows 8, which means you’ll be able to select from the half million Android apps to add great new programs to your PC. Android apps will also be able sync between your phone, tablet, and PC, and at launch, 50 free apps will be available and you’ll find hundreds of apps and games that are accelerated by AMD technology.
Graphics
Windows 8 delivers opportunities for enhanced text, as well as 2D and 3D video quality. The AMD APU can reduce the time it takes for text to render when scrolling, as well as to display complex graphs and HD video. In short, it means less waiting and improved detail. AMD Eyeinity Technology also gives you the capability to span Windows 8 across multiple displays.
1 Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of 2/17/2012 on a “Pumori” reference system conigured with an AMD A6-4400M APU with AMD RadeonTM HD 7520G Graphics, 4GB DDR3-1600 and an Intel 510 Series 120GB SSD running Windows® 7 SP1 64bit. The tested platform was able power-on to the Windows desktop in 10.3 seconds and resume from sleep mode in 1.73 seconds. Actual time to power-on to desktop and actual time to resume will vary based on operating system, APU model, driver, disk drive and memory speed. TRN-97 & TRN-27
