AMD Announces New A-Series APUs

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the introduction of the AMD A10-7800 Accelerated
Processing Unit (APU) to its industry acclaimed A-Series 4th generation APU
lineup. With up to 12 Compute Cores (4CPU + 8 GPU) unlocking full APU potential
and Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) features, the AMD A10-7800 boasts a
powerful AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Series graphics for peak performance across
applications(1). Combined with AMD's acclaimed Mantle API, the AMD A10-7800 APU
can enable accelerated performance across select AMD Gaming Evolved partner
titles.


"The 2014 AMD A-Series APUs are the most advanced and developer friendly
performance APUs from AMD to date," said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice
president and general manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. "The compute and
graphics technologies in our APUs lead the way for consumers to leverage the
best technology in their gaming, office and multimedia applications, and raise
the bar on the desktop PC experience."


Taking the visual experience further, the AMD A10-7800 APU offers support for
UltraHD (4K) resolutions and new video post processing enhancements that will
make 1080p videos look outstanding when upscaled on an UltraHD-enabled monitor
or TV. In addition, with a configurable thermal design power option (cTDP), the
A10-7800 allows enthusiasts to fine-tune for maximum performance. The AMD
A10-7800 APU will be available for purchase in Japan starting today, with
worldwide availability at the end of July.


In addition, AMD also announced the introduction of the AMD A6-7400K and AMD
A4-7300 APUs, ideal for consumers looking to upgrade their application and
office experience on the PC. With the unifying FM2+ infrastructure for AMD APUs,
users are enabled to build smaller form factors for gaming and home theatre PC
(HTPC) systems that sip power while offering peak performance. In addition with
AMD Radeon(TM) memory, users can benefit from AMD AMP technology to help boost
their gaming experience with the AMD Radeon(TM) R9 2400 Gamer Series memory
