  1. AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics requires one of select AMD A-Series APUs plus one of select AMD Radeon™ discrete graphics cards and is available on Windows® 7 or later. Linux OS supports manual switching which requires restart of X-Server to engage and/or disengage the discrete graphics processor for dual graphics capabilities. With AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems and may depend on the master device to which the display is connected. Check with your component or system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities and supported technologies.
  2. FreeSync is an AMD technology designed to eliminate stuttering and/or tearing in games and videos by locking a display’s refresh rate to the framerate of the graphics card.  Requires Monitor, AMD Radeon™ graphics and/or AMD A-Series APU compliant with DisplayPort™ Adaptive-Sync 1.2 (or newer).  AMD Catalyst™ driver 15.2 Beta (or newer) required. Adaptive refresh rates vary by display; check with your monitor manufacturer for specific capabilities. Only select AMD Radeon GPUs and A-Series APUs supported; see www.amd.com/freesync for full details
  3. Engineering design specifications based on 2.4x realtime H.264 encoding performance on “Kaveri” vs 9x realtime on a “Carrizo” APU
  4. Testing by AMD Performance labs using reference platforms based on an AMD 6th generation Processor featuring an AMD FX-8800P platform, 2x4GB DDR3-1600, 256GB SSD, Windows 8.1, Driver 15.100 lasting 10.2 hrs  The comparison system consisted of an AMD FX 7600P with 2x4GB DDR3-1600, 256GB SSD, Windows 8.1, 14.200.1004 drivers. Jan 15, 2015 lasting 7.1 hrs.  Testing done with a 50 kw/hr battery with Varibright mode set to aggressive, and airplane mode enabled, with MobileMark12. CZN-14
