Only available on select AMD A-Series APU-based tablets and notebooks. Requires Windows 8 operating system and touch-screen capability.
  2. Test performed by AMD labs using a test script to measure the time to process the 19 filters from the Aviary SDK for Windows 8 on a 0.6 MP (953x648) thumbnail image. An AMD "Larne" reference platform system with upcoming AMD Elite Mobility Dual-Core A4-1200 Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon™ HD 8180 Graphics, 2x2GB of DDR3-1600MHz RAM, video driver 12.102.0.0 - 02/18/2013 averaged 17.3 ms per filter with GPU acceleration turned on through the Microsoft DirectX 11 API and C++ AMP programming model. A Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, Model - 31P367923U with Intel® Atom™ Z2760 with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator graphics, 2GB of DDR3-1333 MHz RAM, video driver 9.14.3.1087 - 10/3/2012 averaged 304.3 ms per filter in CPU-only mode. The Intel device does not support DirectX 11, so must run the test in CPU-only mode. Both systems used Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (x64), build 9200. TEM-21
