AMD Reveals Its Reference Tablet Designs

[animeman59]

based on the quad-core Temash APU, which features four Jaguar x86 cores paired with a Radeon HD 7000 series graphics engine

It's a PS4!!

...great framerates...

No, that FPS seems pretty low and there's also some screen tearing.

I really like the idea of hybrid tablet with the turbo dock. It is the best of the tablet world and in laptop mode it should still have enough power to actually be useful. I think I might get my son one of these once they come out..

AMD's APUs are definitely great for the tablet space, and the Turbo Dock feature is a nice idea. We just need OEMs to stop being Intel whores and get these into some actual products.

I hope that AMD could take over the men's tablet market, something that could actually do what a PC does, im so damn sick of this app stuff and all the crapware and advertisement... where did it go the old and nice freeware that works flawlessly and in some cases better than premium stuff (7zip anyone, irfanview,R)

Affordable, flexible, powerful tablets?

Hmmm let's see what happens.

The APUs are now truly going mainstream

The PS4 is eight cores.

I like the no masking approach to this, they provided the details without pandering around it, not like that Skyrim at maxed settings at 1080 on that GT3 device.

If they really will compete with Atom tablets / hybrids in price, I'll get one.

Moving from "just a tablet" to "Notebook that can have keyboard, but can be used as a tablet WITH THE SAME SOFTWARE" is BRILLIANT.

Just detach the screen and it still works, YES PLEASE!!!

More of stuff like this.
With WinX, Linux, Android, anything.

Well, sub 30 fps, yes, but it is driving two screens.

 

[catfishtx]

Hey AMD, if you need someone to ...you know...test one out or something, I am available.

All kidding aside, isn't this what we all have wanted from the start with tablets? Well done AMD. My dollars are eagerly waiting a retail version.

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]um... torchlight 2 is direct x 9c only... unless a recent patch put 11 into it...that said, the frame rate on the tablet looks like hell, i can see the slow down... ill take a lower resolution for 30+fps...[/citation]

Try running that on an Intel tablet...

YOU CAN'T

a different resolution without all the bells and whistles, and i am betting you can.
point i was makeing was its not a dx11 game unless a patch made it dx11 which i am unaware of
and the game has a damn near countable framerate in the video... its possible that the video makes it look bad, but i couldnt play it at that frame rate, and they are showing it off like that...

on a side note, i was forced to open this in forum to reply to you. i am not likeing this redesign at all.

We need a 7 or 8 inch Windows 8 tablet with an AMD APU in it!!!!!!! Imagine Crysis on something the size of a Nexus 7!!!!!
