SYDNEY, Australia — July 31, 2014 – AMD (NYSE: AMD) today introduced the new AMD A10-7800 Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) to the component channel. The 4th generation A-Series APU with up to 12 Compute Cores (4CPU + 8 GPU) unlocks the full APU potential with Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) features, and boasts powerful AMD Radeon™ R7 Series graphics for outstanding performance across applications. Combined with AMD’s acclaimed Mantle API, the AMD A10-7800 APU can enable accelerated performance across select AMD Gaming Evolved partner titles.
Revolutionary Architecture
• Up to 12 Compute Cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU) deliver amazing performance and responsiveness, bringing to life the full capability of the APU on various workloads, applications and top gaming titles
• The breakthrough new Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) allows the CPU and GPU to work together in harmony by quickly dividing and directing tasks to the appropriate cores for new levels of performance and efficiency for desktop and notebook PCs, enabling a new era of compute capabilities with compute cores
• Award-winning Graphics Core Next Architecture with AMD Radeon™ R7 series graphics and compute capability makes it a top choice for gamers who expect the best
• Support for UltraHD (4K) resolutions and new video post-processing enhancements that make 1080p videos look amazing when upscaled on an UltraHD-enabled monitor or TV
“The AMD A-Series APUs bring a superior level of gaming and compute experiences to the desktop PC,” said Bernd Lienhard, Corporate Vice President, AMD. “With support for AMD’s acclaimed Mantle API that simplifies game optimisations for programmers and developers to unlock unprecedented levels of gaming performance, transforming the world of game development to help bring better, faster games to the PC.”
Equipped with AMD Quick Stream, AMD Steady Video and AMD TrueAudio technologies, the AMD A-Series APUs combine to deliver lifelike audio and video. Utilising a configurable thermal design power option (cTDP), enthusiasts are now able to fine-tune for maximum performance. In addition, AMD also announced the introduction of the AMD A8-7600 and AMD A6-7400K APU’s, ideal for consumers looking to upgrade their application and office experience on the PC.
