Hungry mobile Trinity APUs have appeared
The A8-4555M and A4-4355M offer quite outstanding energy efficiency.
The quad-core A8-4555M hides two Piledriver modules, and the integrated HD 7600G specializes in graphics tasks, combining the power of a 384 shader processor. The APU for ultra-thin notebooks consumes just 19 watts, but in return the processor cores run at 1,6 GHz and the IGP clock is only 327 MHz. Now Turbo Core technology comes in handy, which can push CPU speeds up to 2,4 GHz and you can chase the graphics unit up to 424 MHz. According to official data, the chip contains a total of 4 MB of second-level cache.The A4-4355M is now based on only 1 module, which means 2 processing units. The 17-watt power consumption limits the possibilities very strongly, so the 2 cores follow the very modest 1,9 GHz (Turbo Core can help up to 2,4 GHz here as well), and the Radeon HD 192G, which runs from a 7400 stream processor, is 333 MHz is ticking. The latter also has a Turbo clock, which could ideally mean 415 MHz. The APU received only 1 MB of L2 cache.
The products unveiled at the IFA event, which have not yet been officially announced by AMD, but were already present in some of the notebooks on display there.
