AMD Refreshes Notebook Platforms and Introduces VISION Technology for Desktop PCs

Thirty Percent More Ultrathin Notebooks and 109 New Mainstream Notebooks Based on VISION Technology Scheduled to Arrive in Time for Back-to-School Buyers[ii]

“With VISION Technology from AMD, we are finally connecting how people use their PCs with the way people purchase them,” said Nigel Dessau, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of AMD. “Today, after little more than 200 days in market, our partners are introducing more VISION-based PCs than ever before; a testament to both the competitiveness of AMD platform technology and the simplified marketing approach.”

Introduced in October 2009, VISION Technology from AMD simplifies the PC buying process at the point of sale by focusing on how consumers use PCs, rather than relying upon the confusing “speeds and feeds” technical specifications that many people find difficult to understand. VISION also denotes the powerful visual experience AMD systems enable; an important feature as more consumers use their computers as entertainment hubs for sharing photos, music and videos with friends and family, watching TV and HD videos, and playing games.

AMD 2010 Mainstream and Ultrathin Notebook Platforms
In 2009, 96 million people worldwide bought PCs for entertainment purposes.[iv] The AMD 2010 Mainstream Notebook Platform lets consumers enjoy their movies, music and games in stunning color and clarity, seamlessly connect with friends on social networks, and edit videos and photos. The 2010 Ultrathin Notebook Platform makes it possible for consumers to enjoy a full-featured PC experience, including HD playback, in sleek and affordable notebooks that can deliver up to eight hours of battery life. Examples of the benefits the platforms provide to consumers include the following:

• In testing with HQV 2.0, a VISION-based system with AMD integrated graphics achieved a video experience score almost 2x that of a comparable Intel-based system. Additionally, a VISION-based system with AMD discrete graphics scored 50% better than a comparable Intel-based system with Nvidia discrete graphics. [v]

• Enjoy photos with greater color, clarity and definition by cleaning up photos up to 20 percent faster with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 than competing mainstream notebooks.[vi]

• Transfer entertainment fast and convert DVDs to play on game consoles in up to 37 percent less time than a comparable competitive mainstream notebook.[vii]

• Experience up to 80 percent smoother gaming performance in Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™, compared to a comparable competitive mainstream system.[viii]

 
• Share movies with friends 30 percent faster than with comparable competing PCs.[ix]

 

• Organize digital libraries 40 percent faster, using facial recognition to categorize photos, than competing desktop PCs.[x]

 

• Build a complete AMD-based system featuring the AMD Phenom™ II X6 processor with all the necessary components and monitor for less than the price of our competition’s only six-core desktop processor.[xi]

System played a DVD movie for 249 minutes (4h 09m) and a Blu-Ray DVD for 183 minutes (3h 03m). Active time based on running FutureMark® 3DMark® 06 looped benchmark test – system ran for 161 minutes (2h 41m). “Resting” time based on running BAPCO MobileMark® 2007 “Productivity” test – system ran for 421 minutes (7h 1m).

In testing conducted by AMD performance labs in February 2010 the 2010 Ultrathin platform reference design “Nile” demonstrated up to 483 minutes (8h 3m) on BAPCO MobileMark® 2007 “Productivity” test as “resting” metric and 223 minutes (3h 43m) as an “active” metric using FutureMark® 3DMark® 06 looped benchmark test. This demonstration shows the ability to provide “resting” battery life for up to a full 8-hour work day or “all day” battery life.
