AMD Advantage™ Framework and AMD Smart
TechnologiesAMD Advantage laptops are designed to deliver
best-in-class gaming experiences, providing new levels of
performance and responsiveness. They combine AMD Radeon RX 6000M
Series or Radeon RX 6000S Series mobile graphics, AMD Software and
AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series or Ryzen 6000 Series mobile processors with
exclusive AMD smart technologies and other advanced system design
characteristics. AMD Advantage will continue to expand in 2022 with
new AMD Ryzen processors and AMD Radeon graphics and more than 20
new laptop designs. In addition, several enhancements and additions
to the AMD smart technologies portfolio are designed to boost
performance and extend battery life on AMD Advantage laptops,
including:
- AMD Smart Access Memory™ Technology
(SAM) – Now supporting the new AMD Ryzen 6000
Series mobile processors featuring PCIe® 4.0, SAM technology offers
an increase in gaming performance by providing AMD Ryzen processors
with access to the entire high-speed GDDR6 graphics memory in the
system.
- AMD SmartShift MAX Technology – Previously AMD
SmartShift technology, the new and enhanced version is optimized
for a broader range of games. By dynamically shifting laptop power
between AMD Ryzen mobile processors and AMD Radeon graphics,
SmartShift Max technology with an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU and an
AMD Ryzen 6900H CPU offers a 2X uplift in gaming performance on
average across select titles compared to a system with an AMD
Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU and an AMD Ryzen 5900H CPU9.
- AMD SmartShift Eco Technology – Expected to be
available later this year, it is projected to offer up to 2X gaming
time when on battery on a system with an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU
and an AMD Ryzen 6900H Series CPU10 by automatically shifting from
discrete Radeon graphics to Ryzen integrated graphics.
- AMD Smart Access Graphics Technology –
Delivers 15 percent more gaming performance on average across
select titles11 by allowing the AMD Radeon GPU to control the
display directly vs. transferring information through the AMD Ryzen
APU to the display.
AvailabilityThe Alienware m17 R5, an AMD
Advantage laptop powered by up to an AMD Ryzen 6980HX APU and up to
an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU is expected to be available in Q2
2022. Other laptops with new AMD Radeon RX 6000M Series mobile
graphics are expected to be available beginning in Q1 2022 from
leading OEMs. Laptops with AMD Radeon RX 6000S Series mobile
graphics are expected to be available beginning in Q1 2022,
