Additional Information:

  1. 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 OpenCL™ or DirectCompute (including AMD’s Unified Video Decoder (UVD)). Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.
  2. AMD Quick Stream is a technology designed to prioritize video streaming on PC systems for a smooth, uninterrupted video stream and will work on all 2012 Mainstream and Essential Desktop and Notebook APU based-PCs with internet access. It is implemented at the discretion of OEMs on select PCs. Not all features may be supported on all systems - check with your system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies.
  3. AMD Steady Video is a technology designed to eliminate shakes and jitters during the playback of home video.  Users may turn on this  technology via the AMD Catalyst Control Center™ or the VISION Engine Control Center application. AMD Steady Video will work with content that can run on Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 (and later versions) or on any player which has been programmed to use AMD’s decode acceleration (DXVA) engine.    AMD Steady Video is not designed to (a) isolate overlays, logos or captions, or (b) improve the playback of letter boxed, premium/commercial, or interlaced content.  AMD Steady Video is only recommended for use with videos that contain unwanted shakes and jitters.
  4. 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 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows® 7 Home Premium, and/or Windows® 7 Home Basic OS. 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.
  5. AMD Performance Advantage depicts the advantages of desktop PCs over notebooks. Testing conducted by AMD performance labs using  PCMark7 benchmark, the AMD A10-5800K APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 7660D Graphics using 2x4GB DDR3-1866 and a 7200rpm Hard Drive with  Windows® 7 64 bit based on ES Silicon (Engineering Sample) on AMD Annapurna reference designs scored 2782 while the  AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon™ HD7740G Graphics using 2x4GB DDR3-1600 and a 5200 rpm Hard Drive with Windows® 7 64 bit based on ES Silicon (Engineering Sample) on the Pumori reference design scored 1965 . All scores rounded to the nearest whole number.
  6. Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs that measured the time to resume from sleep mode as 1.38 seconds.  Actual time to resume will vary based on operating system, APU model, driver, disk drive and memory speed.
