SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwire) — 08/22/11 — Today (NYSE: AMD) updated its award-winning C- and E-Series (APUs) for ultrathin and value notebooks, netbooks, all-in-ones and desktop PCs with top-of-the-line features. The updated APUs deliver:

Enhanced HD graphics capabilities;

Performance boosts with enhanced memory;

DisplayPort ++ for connecting to any HDMI or DisplayPort-enabled monitor or TV;

12 hours of resting battery life on a single charge for the mobile platform — a nearly four hour increase over previous platforms(i).

Notebooks, netbooks, small form factor and all-in-one desktops based on these new APUs are available from leading manufacturers starting today.

“Today-s PC users want stunning HD graphics and accelerated performance with all-day battery life and that-s what AMD Fusion APUs deliver,” said Chris Cloran, vice president and general manager, Client Division, AMD. “With these new APUs, we-re bringing premium features to entry-level products that let users get a richer computing experience.”

AMD has shipped more than 12 million APUs, and sold more than five million of the popular C- and E-Series APUs in Q2 2011 alone. The updated AMD C- and E-Series APUs meet the needs of consumers who want fast and Brilliant HD streaming video, sharp photos, life-like gaming through powerful DirectX®11-capable discrete-level graphics and a parallel processing engine, as well as all-day battery life(ii).

Additionally, the updated E-Series APUs feature:

for enhanced memory bandwidth and faster performance and video playback;

allow for viewing 3D pictures and home video on 3D-enabled TVs and displays.

(i) In testing conducted by AMD performance labs the 2010 Ultrathin AMD V-105-based platform demonstrated battery life up to 499 minutes or 8.3 hours using Windows Idle as “resting” metric and up to 218 minutes or 3:38 hours as an “active” metric using 3DMark -06. The 2011 value segment platform reference design “Iguana” with the AMD C-60 APU-based netbook demonstrated “all-day” battery life up to 735 minutes or 12.25 hours using Windows Idle as “resting” metric and up to 267 minutes or 4:27 hours as an “active” metric using 3DMark -06. Battery life calculations are based on using a 6-cell Li-Ion 62.16Whr battery pack at 98% utilization. AMD defines “all-day” battery life as 8+ hours of continuous use as measured with the Windows Idle test. The 2010 Ultrathin platform consisted of an AMD V-Series V-105 Processor with ATI Radeon HD 4225 Graphics, 1Ghz, 2GB (2x1GB) DDR3-800 system memory, 1366×768 display resolution, Windows Vista Home, 64-bit, 62Whr Li-Ion battery. The 2011 AMD “Inagua” reference design consisted of an AMD Dual-Core C-60 APU with AMD Radeon HD 6290 Graphics, 1Ghz, 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1066 system memory, 1366×768 display resolution, Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit, 62Whr Li-Ion battery.
