</i><b>COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2013 – TAIPEI, TAIWAN -6/5/2013 </b>
AMD (NYSE: AMD)
today announced its 2013 Elite A-Series Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) for
desktops, codenamed ”Richland”, which delivers a superior PC solution with
increased computational performance, discrete-level graphics and an easy
upgrade infrastructure. At COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2013, AMD showcased the complete
breadth of its 2013 APU portfolio with the launch of the new Elite A-Series APU
for desktops which power a diverse range of OEM systems and feature new
generations of software and applications that harness the unrivaled compute
power of the 2013 AMD APU product lineup: the fastest AMD APUs ever.
”The new AMD A-Series APU is ideal for desktop PC builders and mainstream
gamers wanting outstanding performance for their money, and today AMD delivers
an excellent new follow-on to the recently announced mobile lineup,” said Bernd
Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Products
Division at AMD. ”The combination of high-performance, third-generation desktop
APUs with our existing portfolio of low-power, mobile APUs gives us our
strongest-ever lineup of products for our customers and our technology
partners.”
<b>2013 Elite A-Series APUs Break the Mold to
Enable Innovative PC Solutions</b>
Since its introduction in 2011, the APU quickly became the fastest growing
category of processors for AMD, powering everything from the <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xboxone/what-it-is">Microsoft
Xbox One</a> and <a href="http://webassets.scea.com/pscomauth/groups/public/documents/webasset/feb21/pdf/playstation4_specification.pdf">Sony
PlayStation 4</a> to new generations of notebooks, tablets, desktop PCs, low-power servers and embedded devices. AMD
extends its leadership in the category with the introduction of its new 2013
Elite A-Series APUs for desktop PCs. This APU provides higher performance and
innovative new features to benefit users. The new AMD A-Series APUs combine AMD
”Piledriver” CPU architecture with AMD RadeonT HD 8000 Series graphics on the
FM2 motherboard infrastructure. The ability to support existing A85X, A75 and
A55 platforms as well as forward compatibility with FM2+ motherboards provides
users the ability to buy now with the flexibility to upgrade as new platforms
come to market. In addition, these APUs feature maximum clock speeds over 4 GHz
for next generation compute workloads.
Utilizing the latest AMD Radeon HD 8000 Series graphics, the Elite A-Series
combines the CPU and up to 384 Radeon parallel processing cores to offer up to
15 percent increased graphics performance over its predecessor1, the
AMD Second Generation APU (formerly codenamed Trinity,) and winner of the <a href="http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/New-APUs-Win-Best-Choice-Award-2012may29.aspx">2012 Best Choice of
COMPUTEX TAIPEI</a> award. The Elite A-Series APU for desktops
supports new <a href="http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/radeon-memory/Pages/gamer-series.aspx">AMD RadeonT Memory Gamer
Series</a> at 2133 MHz. When paired with an A-Series APU, the DDR3-2133 MHz Radeon
Memory Gamer Series will give up to a 13 percent performance increase over
DDR3-1866 MHz memory2.
