competition between AMD and Intel again !
The new A-series of AMD is used in three lines of processors, all being a combination of AMD, CPU and a Radeon GPU on a single circuit. The A4-3300M and A4-3310MX are low-end dual-core chips clocked at 1.9GHz and 2.1GHz respectively, equipped with a Radeon HD6480G clocked at 444MHz. Their main competition will be the cheapest Intel i3 chips. The quad-core mid-range A6-3400M and A6-3410MX contain 1.4GHz and 1.6GHz CPUs respectively, and a Radeon 6520G as a GPU. Finally, the quad-core high-end A8 line is aimed at enthusiast HD and 3D environments, and aspires to compete with Intel i7 chips. The A8 is clocked at up to 1.9GHz and equipped with Radeon HD6620G graphics.
HD entertainment capability and and DirectX 11-enabled graphics, along with 10.5 hours of battery life, are features of the new chips. The A-series chips are built on a 32-nanometer process technology and are the only Sandy Bridge rival on the market. Until now, there have only been low-end C- and E-series AMD processors from the Fusion family, with E-350 being the most notable, featured in a number of netbooks .
The AMD Fusion platform supports HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.1, and USB 3.0. According to AMD's own figures, A-series chips beat Intel's Sandy Bridge in terms of graphics performance, although it's probably fair to judge after the arrival of the first APU devices.
