Features and Benefits 

Footnotes 

1. BR-I4 In testing conducted by AMD performance labs the 2011 Low Power platform reference design "Brazos" with the E-350 Dual-Core Processor demonstrated "all-day" battery life up to 547 minutes or 9:07 hours on BAPCO MobileMark® 2007 “Productivity” test as a "resting" metric and 267 minutes or 4:27 as an "active" metric using 3DMark '06. Battery life calculations are based on using a 6 –cell Li-Ion 62.16Whr battery pack at 98% utilization for MobileMark Productivity workload. AMD defines “all-day” battery life as a score of 8+ hours using the MobileMark 2007 Productivity test. The AMD “Zacate” E-350 reference design consisted of a 1.6Ghz 2C B0 Ontario + Hudson M1 APU 18W E-350 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1066 system memory 11.6" display @ 1366x768.
2. BR-I3 Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 feature support for hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding. H.264 video is decoded in Flash Player 10.1 by a GPU or media accelerator whenever capable hardware is available, which greatly improves playback performance and battery life. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10.1_hardware_acceleration.html
3. BR-I1 - In testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs, the AMD Fusion Processor E-350 showed up to 3 times faster performance (with hardware acceleration on) with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (29 FPS vs 7) and Firefox 4 using DirectX 9 and Direct2D as compared to hardware acceleration off.
4. BR-I2 In test conducted by AMD Performance Labs , the AMD Processor E-350 showed 2.4 times faster performance (22 FPS vs. 9FPS )when using Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 with hardware acceleration on. The AMD “Zacate” E-350 reference design consisted of a 1.6Ghz 2C B0 Ontario + Hudson M1 APU 18W E-3504GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1066 system memory 11.6" display @ 1366x768.
5. BR-I5 AMD Performance Lab projections show that the 2010 "Nile" platform showed a core silicon power of 4.14 watts while the2011 AMD Low Power Platform, code name "Brazos", has a total core silicon power level of 3.22 watts or uses 23% less power than the 2010 Platform. The AMD“Zacate” E-350 reference design consisted of a 1.6Ghz 2C B0 Ontario + Hudson M1 APU 18W E-3504GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1066 system memory 11.6" display @ 1366x768.
6. Manageability features include Advanced System Format (ASF) support and support for the Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) management standard.
7. Security features include support for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specification and integrated virtualization, as well as Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP). As part of a comprehensive security program, AMD strongly recommends enabling Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) and using up to date third party anti-virus software.
8. SBNB‐C3 Test conducted in AMD Labs using HD HQV Benchmark version 2.0 (Hollywood Quality Video) to determine the quality of HD video signal processing. HQV is a tool used by AMD to evaluate video playback quality. HD HQV Benchmark version 2.0 provides visual feedback for scoring by the AMD reviewer. Scores may vary based on the skill and opinion of the reviewer. The 2011 VISION A4‐based PC scored 176 points while the comparable Intel Core i3‐based PC scored 101. The 2011 VISION A4‐based PC consisted of the reference platform "Torpedo" with the AMD Dual‐Core A4‐3300M APU, with AMD RadeonTM HD 6480G graphics, 4 GB (2X2GB) DDR3 1333Mhz system memory, and Windows Home Premium 64‐bit. The Intel Core i3‐based PC consisted of the Intel Core i3‐380M, Intel HD Graphics, 4 GB (2X2GB), DDR3‐1333Mhz system memory, and Windows 7 Home Premium.
9. Comparison from Llano vs. Sandy Bridge video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdPi4GPEI74 System Specs: AMD Quad Core A8‐3510MX APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 6620M Discrete‐Class Graphics, 4GB 1333 DDR3Ram vs.Intel Core i7‐2630QM, with Intel HD 3000 Graphics, 4GB DDR3Ram, and Window 7 Professional 64‐bit.
10. Test conducted by AMD Performance Labs the AMD Processor E‐350 demonstrated up to 3 times faster performance (with hardare acceleration on) with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (29 FPS vs 7) and Firefox 4 (29 FPS vs 7) using DirectX 9 and Direct2D as compared to hardware acceleration off. BR‐I1 The AMD reference design "Inagua" consisted of a AMD Dual‐Core Processor E‐350, 1.6Ghz 2C, 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3‐1066 system memory 14" display @ 1366x768, Windows 7 Ultimate 64‐bit, 62Whr Li‐Ion battery.
11. SBNB‐I13 Testing conducted by AMD performance labs using a 2011 Sabine Reference Design “Torpedo” showed 628 minutes using (10:28 min) Windows Idle as a “Resting" metric. “Active” battery life using FutureMark® 3DMark™06 as workload test showed 218 minutes (2:59 min). All battery life calculations are based on using a 6 cell Li‐Ion 62.16Whr battery pack at 98% utilization for Win Idle workload and 96% utilization for 3DMark06 workload. AMD defines “all‐day” battery life as a score of 8+ hours. The 2011 VISION A4‐based PC consisted of the reference platform "Torpedo" with the AMD Dual‐Core A4‐3300M APU, with AMD Radeon™ HD 6480G graphics, 4 GB (2x2GB) DDR3‐1333Mhz system memory, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64‐bit and 62.16 Whr battery.
