New APU Mobile Edition parsing

Although the desktop version of AMD Kaveri APU has been on the market for quite some time, the mobile version has been quiet. Recently, a "amd& Day Cat operating cooperative shop Product training" pptx file discovered Baidu Bar, with the training document exposure, AMD Kaveri APU Mobile version of more detailed information also with the exposure, although consumers of the new Kaveri Apu Mobile version of the concern is not high, But this exposure is indeed relatively sufficient material, let's see what the new Kaveri APU features it.

A10 above also has the FX extreme series altogether 7 sections

4 new Kaveri APU Extreme Edition low voltage processor

Kaveri APU Mobile Version In addition to our familiar A4, A6, A8, A10, but also added the FX naming. The extreme series includes A6, A8, A10 and FX, to know that when the Desktop Update continues to launch the FX series, there is a suspicion that AMD will eventually abandon the FX series naming, and all switch to a start, now it appears that the FX series will not only continue to retain, and from this generation began to become the mobile version of the top name According to the information vision, the future FX mobile version of the mission will be to face the Intel family's i7 processor.

In the extreme series, there will be the first batch of mobile version 7 processors, including a6-7000, a8-7100/7200p, a10-7300/7400p and fx-7500/7600p. A standard voltage version of 35W TDP with a P-letter suffix, with a lower-voltage version of the model without a P-letter suffix. But the low voltage version of the processor's specific power consumption is not the same, a6-7000 TDP is 17W, and a8-7100, a10-7300 and FX-7500 are 19W.

The CPU core is counted together with the GPU core

7 Extreme Edition Kaveri APU detailed parameters

On top of the official hype, AMD will continue to advertise the multicore as a selling point. But this multicore concept is somewhat different from the desktop version. A new generation of HSA heterogeneous system architecture, including and Huma heterogeneous unified Memory Access technology and HQ heterogeneous queue technology, so that the CPU and GPU in equal working relationship, equality has the same priority.

HSA asynchronous architecture gives CPU and GPU equal processing priority

In fact, on the mobile version, in addition to A6, in the CPU Processor Core Extreme edition of the 4 CPU core design, and the promotion of the "10 core" concept is actually included the same priority GPU core, the core number of Cpu+gpu core is called "Operation Core", This naming is a bit like the way Nvidia named the Tegra processor.

Sign the Code R, start a mixed fire and rename it.

Re-naming rules after mixed crossfire

The new Kaveri APU is also upgraded to the next-generation GCN 1.1 architecture in the integrated core graphics card, naming the same way as its own graphics card, and substituting "RX". From the positioning relationship, FX carries R7 series, A10 carrying R6 series, A8 carrying R5 series, A6 carrying R4 series. The new core graphics card supports the Mantle API and 4K HD output technology, while also supporting AMD's newest Trueaudio technology.

Renaming the corresponding table after a mixed firefight the new Kaveri APU also supports dual video card fire, but with the previous generation of products slightly different, in the new R-series of nuclear and exclusive exchange of fire, the graphics card model will change accordingly. To FX-7600 and R7 M260 video card firefight For example, after the firefight model will become R7 M270DX, and R5 M255 Fire will become R7 M265DX. According to the official statement, this design is designed to "clearly convey the true interests of the user." In addition to A6, other models of Kaveri APU can be exchanged for fire, after the exchange of the model change rules see above.

New Classic Series APU Code name is Beema

New Classic APU Change

Of course, in the product line division, it is not possible to carry APU notebook products are required "high-performance", so the lower end of some of the so-called classic Apu is code-named Beema. Like Kaveri Apu, the new Beema is also upgraded to the GCN 1.1 architecture in the graphics core, named R2, R3 and R4 series, and cannot be exchanged for a single display. In the processing of performance, in addition to the E2-6110 model of the number of frequencies have a certain degree of improvement, so in processing performance will have a certain upgrade.

In terms of power performance, a4-6210 and E2-6110 's TDP is still 15w,e1-6010 slightly up to 10W, the most obvious change is a6-6310, from the corresponding model 25W straight down to the current 15W. Although there is no mention of the timing of the official listing, the details of the Chinese version have already come out, and it is believed that the time for the official listing will be finalized in the recent period.

Kaveri APU Mobile version of hidden mystery and speculation

None of the i7 processors in the charts

Mystery 1: Mixed fire is still a gimmick? Although the so-called mixed fire, after the name of the exchange of fire also made a comprehensive adjustment, but from the previous APU nuclear and the actual effect of the exchange of fire, this exchange of fire technology is very general, performance promotion is very limited, and desktop dual-card fire is not comparable. Since only changed the name of the exchange of fire, and the principle of the exchange of fire does not really change, so for the new Kaveri Apu Crossfire, I still do not optimistic.

The i7-4500u is mounted with a kernel of HD 4400 and is not Intel's strongest iris and iris Pro Display

Mystery 2: Overall positioning improve, FX War i7 can do? As we all know, in high-end processor performance, AMD has been in the wind, competitors intel each generation of products can be a breeze to the APU, in the desktop-level APU, positioning the top of the FX series is more than i5 strong, Performance Beyond i7 is actually only the official good vision. Goals that are not achievable at the desktop level are now easily implemented on the mobile side? FX Total War i7 is clearly not realistic.

A6-6310 can only be compared with the most introductory i3-4010u?

Where's the i3 processor?

Put aside the AMD official test of the moisture does not talk about the chart. Compared with competitor products in AMD's internal data, AMD is also guilty about the performance of the new Kaveri Apu. Of course, before the advent of the formal product, these are just my assumptions in the case of a certain basis, the actual situation, we will be validated in the actual product.

Written in the last

Specifications of new Kaveri APU product characteristics of the list

Generally before the launch of new products we will be the prospect of its analysis, but for the Kaveri Apu Mobile version, it seems that I want to say very little, what can be expected? No! Just like all consumer indifference. If the guess is correct, Kaveri APU Mobile version in the operational performance is still no advantage, the exchange of fire is still a gimmick, graphics card fire is still not easy to use, Kaveri APU Mobile version will still be mobile market "Non-mainstream", supporting the role of Intel.
