AMD Prepping 'Mutated' Hardware for October 9

[Guest]

I get the feeling, the trick with the laptop inside the tower is about to be replicated with a either a tablet or even a smartphone inside the laptop gag. On a small enough screen, with smartphone grade resolutions, a 6250 might just be decent enough to run a smartphone.

God, some of the comments here are as meaningless as those "oh noes i want a coar eye-7 in my tabalet!!!! atom suxx bawls!!!"

I've got a good feeling about future AMD products, a 32 nm Athlon 750K PD beats a 22nm i3-3320, is unlocked and for half the price, AMD is doing extremely well

the A10 5700 completely destroys it in CPU and GPU performance at the same price and similar power consumption, the 5800 is still cheaper and still destroys the ivy i3 but it uses much more power, however it is unlocked and it reached more than 7.3 GHz

let's wait for vishera

Im not a AMD fan, far from it, i usually go with intel+nvidia setup but i like the ideias they bring to the market. saddly they dont always get to be so popular as they deserve.
Hoping this time they can bring something powerfull and innovative to crush some barriers.

This should go great in a HTPC, one minute I am watching a movie on XBMC, the next I am playing a game, a quick check of the TH Graphics Comparison chart puts the 6250 right alongside a discrete nVidia 6800 Ultra

OK, maybe not for Crysis, but easily a large portion of your collection relatively comfortably

[citation][nom]echondo[/nom]I think you guys want to look for something called Piledriver...[/citation]

Simple math shows Piledriver will be up to Yorksfield IPC. I also give a *yawn.

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]*Yawn* Hey AMD...come out with something that can challenge anything from Intel...that would be a miracle at this point.[/citation]
Read the article. They do have somthing to "challenge" Intel. APU?

[citation][nom]DryCreamer[/nom]I hope its a sight better than the horrible C-50... nothing like $400 worth of disappointment... when you can get a Pentium for the same price...[/citation]C-50 shouldn't be in the $400 range. You can get A4/A6 Llano for ~$400. I've seen full size C-50 laptops for as low as ~$279 brand new.
[citation][nom]SteelCity1981[/nom]ok this is logical no one is going to be gaming on this, but i guess some of you missed the part where it says it will be competetnig against the Atom. these are amde for ultrabooks not gaming pc's. i mean seriously some of you really think outside of logic.[/citation]Actually their ultrathins are using Trinity (piledriver) based chips. Look at HP's Sleekbooks.

Yip AMD get mocked but you know they're the only company going against the mighty Intel - The more successful AMD are the greater the competition, the greater the competition the better the prices, so go AMD!

waste of time.

^^^ Waste of air / posts.

I was really hoping for a multiple performance state system that would allow greater than 1GHZ operation when connected to a wall slot. I have personally clocked my C-50 to 1.8ghz, and it runs great, but even at 1.3 or 1.4 it is so much more responsive.

The biggest problem was video playback @ 1080p occasionally stuttered as the CPU was always running at 100%. Unless they upped the ipc then I don't see this as being any better, which is unfortunate.

I see the APU being the future for AMD.

They already have great Video cards with he Radeon series. Imagine putting a Phenom\7970 on one chip?

Intel graphics have always been sub par and always will be as time goes one.

This is basically what it is;

80 Radeon cores at around 275 MHZ. AMD Z-60 APU, ~4.5 watts, 1GHZ.
Says that it can run windows 7 software. Hmm, Visual C++ 2010? AVS video converter?
Youtube downloader? hexplorer? total commander?
It'll be pretty slow.. But if it does this and it's rooted from the factory then this is a great step.
