AMD Introduces E-450, E-300, C-60 APUs
A week ahead of schedule, AMD expanded its APU family with new solutions offering better performance and graphics. Systems based on E-Series APUs now deliver up to 10.5 hours of battery life, while those based on C-Series deliver as much as 12 hours of operation.
The Zacate series is now led by E-450 featuring two Bobcat cores clocked at 1.65 GHz, a DDR3-1333 controller and a Radeon HD 6320 graphics core with 80 stream processors. In the regular mode, GPU's clock rate is 508 MHz, in the Turbo Core mode it can raise to 600 MHz.
Another novelty, E-300, also has two processing cores, but the clock rate is 1.3 GHz. As for the Radeon HD 6310 GPU (also used in the current Zacate APUs E-240 and E-350), its standard clock rate is 488 MHz.
C-60, the addition to the Ontario series, features x86-compatible cores clocked at 1 GHz (up to 1.33 GHz in the Turbo Core mode) and 1MB of L2 cache. The clock rate of the embedded Radeon HD 6290 GPU can vary from 276 MHz to 400 MHz. The TDP remains within 9W at that.
The listed APUs support the DisplayPort++ technology that allows connectivity with any device equipped with an HDMI or a DisplayPort interface.
Products from leading PC manufacturers based on these new APUs are available starting today and can be identified by the VISION Technology from AMD or HD Internet stickers. In particular, ASUS has already updated its Eee PC 1215B netbook.
