The new A-Series APUs add the Radeon R7 graphics, codenamed “Kaveri” with up to 12 compute cores (4 CPU and 8 GPU in a Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA). This is a new intelligent computing architecture that enables the CPU and GPU to work seamlessly by streamlining right tasks to the most suitable processing element, resulting in performance and efficiency for both consumers and developers.
The support for UltraHD (4K) resolutions and new video post processing enhancements that will improve 1080p videos when upscaled on UltraHD-enabled monitor or TVs, and the APUs use the current FM2+ socket compatibility for a unifying motherboard infrastructure.
“AMD maintains our technology leadership with the 2014 AMD A-Series APUs, a revolutionary next generation APU that marks a new era of computing,” said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. “With world-class graphics and compute technology on a single chip, the AMD A-Series APU is an effective and efficient solution for our customers and enable industry-leading computing experiences.”
