1. The GCN Architecture and its associated features (PCI Express® 3.0,
support for DirectX® 11.1, AMD EnduroT, AMD ZeroCore Power technology, etc.)
are applicable to select AMD RadeonT HD 7000/HD 7000M and HD 8000/HD 8000M
Series Graphics (not available on AMD RadeonT HD 8350 and HD 8400 series
graphics). Not all technologies are supported in all system
configurations-check with your system manufacturer for specific model
capabilities.
2. AMD EnduroT technology automatically turns off the AMD
RadeonT discrete GPU for non-intensive applications to help maximize battery
life for more time unplugged, and requires either an AMD A-Series APU or an
Intel processor, plus an AMD RadeonT discrete graphics card and is available on
Windows® 7 and Windows® 8 Standard and Professional editions. Linux OS supports
manual switching which requires restart of X-Server to switch between graphics
solutions. With AMD EnduroT technology, full enablement of all discrete
graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems (e.g.
OpenGL applications will run on the integrated GPU or the APU as the case may
be). Always check with your system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities
and supported technologies.
3. AMD PowerTune and AMD PowerTune with boost, AMD ZeroCore and other AMD
power management technologies are a family of technologies offered with certain
AMD RadeonT graphics products (not available with the AMD RadeonT HD 8350 and
HD 8400 series desktop graphics) which are designed to intelligently manage GPU
power consumption in response to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products
feature all technologies-check with your component or system manufacturer for
specific model capabilities.
4. AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video
quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features
requires support for OpenCLT or DirectCompute (including AMD’s Universal Video
Decoder (UVD)). Not all products have all features and full enablement of some
capabilities and may require complementary products.
5. AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in
