AMD (NYSE: AMD) today introduced the new AMD A10-7800 Accelerated Processing
Unit (APU) to the component channel. This 4th generation A-Series APU with 12
Compute Cores (4CPU + 8 GPU) unlocks the APU potential with Heterogeneous System
Architecture (HSA) features, and boasts powerful AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Series
graphics for outstanding performance across applications. (1, 2) Combined with
AMD's acclaimed Mantle API, the AMD A10-7800 APU can enable accelerated
performance across select AMD Gaming Evolved partner titles.(3)


Revolutionary Architecture


Up to 12 Compute Cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU) deliver amazing performance and
responsiveness, that leverages the 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(TM) 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 and general
manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. "With support for AMD's acclaimed Mantle API
that simplifies game optimizations 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(4). Utilizing
a configurable thermal design power option (cTDP), enthusiasts are now able to
fine-tune for efficiency. In addition, AMD also announced the introduction of
the AMD A8-7600 and AMD A6-7400K APUs, ideal for consumers looking to upgrade
their application and work 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.
