AMD held a developer summit to share updates on their APU and GPU products. They discussed how computing demands are increasing for gaming, simulations and cloud applications. AMD's APUs combine CPU and GPU capabilities on a single chip. Their newest APU, codenamed "Kaveri", will feature heterogeneous system architecture capabilities. It will offer improved graphics and efficiency over previous APU designs. AMD also unveiled their new Radeon R9 290X GPU and discussed how both products will benefit from lower-level APIs like Mantle.

26. FOOTNOTES
Additional hardware (e.g. Blu-ray drive, HD or 10-bit monitor, TV tuner, wirelessly enabled HDTV) and/or software (e.g. multimedia applications) are required for the full
enablement of some features. HD Video display requires an HD video source. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems - check with your
component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. Unless otherwise indicated, AMD tests are performed on optimized AMD
reference systems. PC manufacturers may vary their configuration yielding different results.
1. Theoretical GFLOPs calculated by AMD as 856 for AMD A10-7850K with AMD Radeon™ R7 Series Graphics. GFLOPS = CPU GFLOPS + GPU GFLOPS= CPU Core Freq (3.7
Ghz) x Core count (4) x 8 + GPU Core Freq (720MHz) x Radeon Core (512) x 2
2. AMD TrueAudio technology is offered in select AMD APUs and AMD Radeon™ GPUs and is designed to improve acoustic realism. Requires enabled game or
application. Not all audio equipment supports all audio effects; additional audio equipment may be required for some audio effects. Not all products feature all
technologies—check with your component or system manufacturer for specific capabilities.
