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 779 for AMD A10-6800K with AMD Radeon™ HD 8670D Graphics. GFLOPS = CPU GFLOPS + GPU
GFLOPS= CPU Core Freq (4.1 Ghz) x Core count (4) x 8 + GPU Core Freq (844 MHz) x Radeon Core (384) x 2
2. AMD’s product warranty does not cover damages caused by overclocking, even when overclocking is enabled with AMD hardware or software
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.

We’ve witnessed a gradual evolution of computing across the different generation of APUs. Using graphics benchmarks like Firestrike, we see a +15% improvement year over year. Using a system benchmark like PCMark 7, we see a 8% improvement year over year. Using programs that use accelerated instructions like AES, we see double digit performance boosts as well as high as 11%.
The best way to test an APU is to identify scenarios that measure compute. Basemark CL is one of the leading independent benchmarks that really identifies workloads used on PCs today, as well as workloads that could be used in the future
