The document summarizes AMD's 2012 A-Series desktop platforms. Key points include: - The 2012 AMD A-Series features "Piledriver" CPU cores and discrete-class AMD Radeon HD 7000 graphics on a single chip. It provides up to 4 CPU cores and improved performance over 2011's AMD A-Series. - Benchmarks show the 2012 AMD A-Series provides significantly better performance than Intel processors in areas like compression, image processing, and gaming, due to its accelerated processing capabilities. Overclocking can further boost performance by up to 68%. - For mainstream gaming, the document argues the integrated graphics of the 2012 AMD A-Series provide better performance and value than a competing Intel processor

23. 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.
1. AMD’s product warranty does not cover damages caused by overclocking, even when overclocking is enabled with AMD hardware or software
2. Based on a shipping frequency of 4GHz – the highest shipping frequency of a consumer desktop processor as of September 5th, 2012
3. AMD Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. To
enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort™ connectors, and/or DisplayPort™ compliant active adapters to convert
your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required. Support for six simultaneous displays may
require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary - check
with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. SLS (“Single Large Surface”) functionality
requires an identical display resolution on all configured displays
4. AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics requires an AMD “A” series APU plus an AMD Radeon™ discrete graphics configuration 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. For All-In-One systems AMD Radeon™ “D” series and AMD Radeon™ “D2” Dual Graphics series do not support AMD
Eyefinity technology. Always check with your system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies.
