AMD has launched their latest Temash APU platform for “Ultra Low Power” tablets and netbooks. The Temash APU platform from AMD comes with the latest Radeon HD 8000 cores based on the GCN architecture while the CPU features upto four Jaguar modules.

AMD Temash APU “Ultra Low Power” Platform Launched

The AMD Temash APU platform is built specifically for tablets, convertibles and netbooks with displays under 13 inches. With the Temash platform, AMD has given birth to a new category of technological devices known as the “Performance Tablet”. These so called performance tablets equipped with the latest Temash architecture would feature superior HD Media experience, elite experiences for tablets and gaming on par with PC visuals thanks to the HD 8000 cores.

The Temash APU is a complete SOC (System on chip) and has almost everything including chipsets to hubs on the APU die. The Temash SOC comes with 2 – 4 Jaguar modules which share 2 MB of L2 cache. The die also holds the northbridge, GCN based HD 8000 graphics core, PCI Express/Display, SD, VGA, SATA, USB and other misc input and output controllers which is remarkable for a die of that size. With everything onboard a single die, Temash SOC aims to conserve and become an ever more efficient  product than AMD’s past generation Brazos APUs. A Temash APU is directly be connected to a memory controller that supports single channel DDR3L memory. The Jaguar core architecture delivers upto 20% improvement over Bobcat while the GCN based HD 8000 graphics core offers 75% improvement and adds DirectX11.1 support for tablets.

Temash powered devices can support resolutions of upto 2560×1600 and support 8 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 SATA II 3GBps and a SD card reader V3.0. The Temash APU devices come with the AMD start now technology that shuts off the device in idle mode and you can start it on from where you left. AMD’s Turbo Dock is the most interesting feature which allows upto 40% performance improvement by docking the tablets in a docking device that allows for performance boost. The Turbo dock comes with a fully integrated keyboard that can be used with ease.

Compared to past generation platforms, the Temash based A6-1450 in 195% faster in 3DMark 11 and 126% faster in PCMark 7 while being only 8W compared to the 18W E2-1800. Similarly, the A4-1200 is upto 212%  better being only 4W compared to the 9W C70 in 3DMark 11. This goes off to show the impressive results of Temash compared to previous generation platforms.

AMD’s Temash APU platform is the direct competitor to Intel’s Clovertrail low power SOC. but compared to AMD’s solution it doesn’t offer as many features. From the performance benchmarks provided above, you can note that the Clovertrail Z2760 can not be compared against the AMD’s Temash solutions in gaming results. It barely manages to compete against them not to mention the non-existent OpenCL support. In battery life, the AMD Temash A6-1450 offers 45% more battery than Intel’s Ultra low power Core i3-3217U processor which is impressive.

The AMD Temash APU lineup is now available in a wide range of Tablets, Hybrids and netbook devices. The Temash lineup can be seen below:

AMD has finally unveiled their latest Richland Mobile APU “Elite Performance” platform for high ultrathin laptops and notebooks. AMD Richland Mobile “Elite Performance APU” platform was announced a while back and is now available with top of the line notebooks from OEM manufactures.

AMD Officially Launches Richland Mobile APU Platform

AMD Richland Mobile APUs don’t bring anything new to the table as far as architecture is concerned. They are still based off the x86 Piledriver core architecture with upto four modules, improved clock speeds and the Radeon HD 8000 series GPUs are based on the old VLIW4 architecture but yet again offer improved performance from higher clock speeds compared to Trinity.

The AMD Richland Mobile A-series is split into four tiers based on their performance and feature set. The fastest Richland Mobile A10 APUs comes with the entire feature set which includes:

• AMD Gesture Control
• AMD Face Login
• AMD Screen Mirror
• AMD Steady Video
• AMD Quick Stream Technology
• AMD Perfect Picture HD

Along with the new features, AMD A10 processors would also get “regionally assorted game bundle” which is part of AMD’s “Never Settle” initiative. We can see games such as Tomb Raider, SimCity and many more to be bundled with the A10 APUs in their respective regions. The A8 series also fall under AMD’s “Elite Experience Program” featuring the entire feature-set minus the game bundle. Going down we have the Richland A6 and Kabini A6 APUs which come without AMD Gesture Control and AMD Face login but other features are included. Last of all are the Kabini A4, Temash A4 and Temash E2 series APUs that only feature AMD Steady Video, AMD Quick Stream and AMD Perfect Picture HD technology.

AMD’s Elite Performance APUs of the Richland Mobile series which include the A10 and A8 APUs come with a wide variety of features that include dynamic performance boost based on the ambient temps of a room. The lower the temperature, the better performance boost you get off your APU. The latest AMD start now technology gives you tablet like responsiveness so you start off your work where you left it or you can in short call it insta-start. The APUs offer compatibility with FS1r2, uPGA and FCH sockets which allow for OEMs to offer various products. The platform supports the latest discrete graphic chips notably the recently released HD 8000M “Solar System” series that included the Radeon HD 8970M “Neptune” GPU.

One of the most interesting thing about AMD Richland Mobile APUs is support for Wireless display on Microsoft’s Windows Blue operating system. The wireless chip controller is located on the APU itself and delivers upto 3.9 times better responsiveness over Intel’s WiDi and HD Playback with 1080P 60 Hz. High quality audio playback is also supported by the new wireless interface.

There’s another cool feature known as “Dock Part” which is a device that would be bundled by specific OEM manufacturer’s or can be bought separately to be connected to any notebook that comes with a Richland Mobile “Elite APU”. The dock allows you to run upto four external displays and several peripheral devices through USB 3.0 ports all through a single Richland mobile notebook. With this, users can enable AMD Eyefinity gaming with any Dock enabled notebook and 3D Steroscopic display and gaming while the USB 3.0 can allow connectivity with DVD/Blu-Ray, HDD, Smartphones and Mouse/KB.

The next performance slides detail that AMD’s Richland APU platform is around 51% more efficient that Trinity while being based on the same architecture. Compared to a 19W Trinity A8-4555M, the A8-5545 M that is also a 19W chip offers 40% more performance in 3DMark 11 and 12% increase in PCMark 7 while the A10-5750M (35W) offers 21% in 3DMark 11 and 10% improvement in PCMark 7 over the Trintiy based A10-4600M.

Next up are even more performance slides that compare the Richland Mobile APUs to Intel’s Low voltage Core i3 and Core i5 processors. In gaming titles such as Batman Arkham City (DX11) and 3DMark Firestrike, AMD takes the lead. Battery life and OpenCL performance is much better than Intel’s offering.

AMD calls the Richland Mobile APUs as a true gaming platform and we can already see the A10-5750M delivering from 39% upto 97% more performance in various titles compared to the Core i5 3210M which comes with a HD 4000 series GPU core.

What’s even better is that AMD’s Richland Mobile APUs while comes with a fast HD 8000 series GPU can also be paired with a similar discrete graphics solution with which users can gain upto 55% performance boost in gaming. Following chart shows the improvement when an AMD A10-5750M gets paired up with the HD 8750 discrete GPU that can be equipped on supported notebooks.

The AMD Richland Mobile APU lineup can be seen listed below, do note that the notebooks equipped with these APUs are now available globally.

AMD’s next generation Kabini APUs have been released powering next generation of notebooks with the high-performance x86 Jaguar architecture and Radeon HD 8000 cores.

AMD Kabini APUs – Powers Next Gen Mainstream Notebooks

The AMD Kabini APUs or SOC (System-on-chip) is designed specifically to deliver best in class efficiency to next generation mainstream notebooks while delivering faster performance with the first ever x86 Quad Core SOC codenamed “Kabini”. The Kabini APUs feature upto four of the latest x86 Jaguar cores that deliver faster performance over last generation processors while improving power efficiency by delivering muchbetter battery life and performance per watt.

The graphics side of the chip is powered by the latest HD 8000 cores which might not be based on a new architecture but deliver better performance through improved clock speeds. The Kabini APUs are split in two tiers, the Kabini A-Series APUs would directly compete against the Core i3 and Pentium series CPUs from Intel while the Kabini E-Series APUs would go against the Celeron lineup. AMD aims to deliver a new price per performance achievement with their latest Kabini APUs and will be drastically cheaper than what Intel offers.

Although performance on the GPU side is a definitive increase over last generation for AMD, Intel might just give them a hard time with their upcoming low power 4^th generation Haswell iGPs which would be aimed to deliver enhanced performance over Intel’s last generation graphics core. However that would be settled when the reviews for both products go live. Following are some of the highlights for AMD’s upcoming Kabini APUs after which we will head over to take a look at the performance:

• Best-inClass graphics performance
• More responsiveness, better experience with platform performance increase of upto 88% over previous generation.
• The first and only quad core for essential/OPP segment
• Game better with console-like graphics
• Over 10 hours of resting battery life
• Up to 9+ hours of web browsing, 6+ hours of 1080P playback

Compared to the Trinity based A4-4355M (22W), the Kabini A4-5000 (15) delivers upto 66% improvement in 3DMark 11 and 42% improvement in PCMark7. On the other hand, the Kabini E1-2100 (9W) is 215% faster in 3DMark 11 and 136% faster in PCMark 7 compared to the 22W Brazos based E1-1200. You can check out in the following slide that with Kabini SOCs, AMD aims to deliver upto 25% more power efficiency over Brazos.

The next chart compares Intel’s Pentium and Sandy Bridge “Core i3” processors with AMD Kabini A-Series APUs. The Core i3 generation CPU can’t run DirectX11 which is available on AMD’s and Pentium processors. AMD takes the lead by delivering 120-140% improvement in Batman Arkham City, faster DX10 performance flagship vs flagship (Core i3-2370M vs A6-5200) in 3DMark Cloud Gate and enhanced OpenCL performance in Basemark CL benchmark.

The product stack for AMD’s upcoming Kabini APUs lineup can be seen below. As mentioned on the top, the A-series would be placed against Core i3 and Pentium processors while the E-series would tackle the Celeron lineup.

AMD’s Kabini APUs are now shipping globally to OEMs and would be shipped with mainstream notebooks.

In this post some of the best tips and tricks for Samsung Galaxy S4 are shared to make it easier for you to get the most out of your new smartphone. Enjoy!

Recording…

• Use the HDR in mixed lighting for some incredible snaps. One of the major highlights of Samsung Galaxy S4 is it 13-megapixel sensor. Add to it the HDR mode and it significantly improves the shot bringing out that extra detail in shadows.
• Under the menus of video cam, there are options of fast and slow mode – capturing fewer or more frames per second. Might come in handy if you are trying to record a racing car, or Bolt…
• Samsung Galaxy S4 lacks those face-distorting fun video effects available with a vanilla Jelly Bean phone, but it does have a range of funky filters. Use cartoon filter for some arty stuff or color pop modes to extract certain shades from your videos.
• When you take a photo, a shutter sound plays in the Galaxy S4. Though occasionally SGS4 needs a little bit longer to attain a solid focus so hold still for an extra half-second for good measure.
• Want to get to a certain point in the movie? If you hold your finger over the transport bar of a movie clip in the media player, using Air View you’ll be given a preview of what’s going on in the film at that point.

Check AMOLED colors:

Go to Settings > Display Settings to choose how vivid the colors should be. Natural and Movie are some recommended settings to get rid of those somewhat “popping” oversaturated color tones of Galaxy S4.

Set the brightness:

Standard settings in Galaxy S4 for brightness is auto. But if you want more, switch off the auto mode for real searing intensity – battery takes the toll though.

Third party video players:

Get the MX Player from Play Store to go around the inbuilt media player – which is excellent but apparently can’t handle high quality 1080p MKVs.

Video Multi-tasking:

This is one of the best features of S3 and S4! Overlay a video playback screen on top of ANY part of the phone and watch videos while browsing the web – yep! Just press a button in the nav bar of the media player to get that little video pop up on the homescreen.

Tips for a mini home cinema!

Not under the audio but under the accessory submenu you would find a Surround Box option. Tick it to get that cinema surround sound mode.

For that “everlasting” battery life!

Okay! Everlasting might be too much but isn’t that the most talked about issue with smartphones? So here are a few settings and tweaks to help you get the most life out of your Samsung Galaxy S4:

• Under the Settings go to Power Saving to make some compromises: throttles the CPU, changes the browser background from white to blue and the sort. But the Power Saving mode does work!
• As a rule of thumb “less features/app, more battery” switch off some features for those few more minutes esp the 3G mobile internet if you aren’t using it. Go to My Settings app or from the pull-down notifications menu to turn it off.
• Under the Settings go to Display submenu to reduce the screen timeout time. Choose between 15 sec and 10 minutes of time the screen stays lit after a screen press. Helps the battery life a lot.
• Since Samsung Galaxy S4 has a removable battery – quite a wonder. Get a spare battery from eBay for well under £10. Don’t go for some unreliable stuff though.

More Storage? Aye, Captain!

• If you want to go for more storage, it’s better to buy one with more storage. But as far as memory cards are concerned, 7DayShop and Ebuyer are the top retailers.
• Clear the cache and temporary files of the apps if you are running low on memory. Go to Settings > Applications Manager and tap on an app to see how much memory it’s leeching. There will be options to wipe cache or the app’s data clean.
• As much as the owners of other smartphones may hate it, the Samsung Galaxy S4 get a free 50GB of cloud storage from one of the best cloud storage provider – the Dropbox. Normally we get only 2GB of free storage on DB.

Screenshots: 

• To take a full screenshot just hold down the home and the power buttons at the same time. Wait for a white flash and a screenshot will be taken and whisked over to the Gallery app.
• Another quicker way to take screenshot is to swipe the palm of your hand from right to left. But for that check Palm swipe capture under the Settings > Motion.

Connect to the world:

• Under the Settings, there is a feature namely Data Usage counter. It monitors your data usage, showing it as a colorful graph helping you to never go over your allowance. Use it to cut off your mobile data connection when trying to save it for those critical last hours.
• You can sync with KIES wirelessly too: scroll to the bottom of the More Settings sub-menu and you will the Kies via Wi-Fi option.
• Introduced with Samsung Galaxy S3, S Beam uses a mixture of NFC and Wi-Fi Direct to let you transfer files between compatible Samsung phones. From Wireless and Networks menu, switch the S Beam on to get it rolling with just a tap.
• Wi-Fi Direct is tied into the S Beam transfer feature but can be used on its own too. This is actually a version of Wi-Fi that doesn’t need an internet connection hooking up directly with another compatible device. It is sort of Bluetooth letting you to transfer files, but at a much greater speed.
• You can also share the screen of your Samsung Galaxy S4 with Group Cast. GC used to be just about sending a video file from your phone to, say, your Blu-ray player but now it lets you send your Galaxy S4′s screen contents to another display.

and the cherry: S Voice:

Not all of the Galaxy S4 can be controlled with S-Voice, but most important ones are covered. Start the S-voice and after the initial setup just go to Settings and enable control apps.

• Camera: take your pictures without holding your camera! Put the phone on an stand, pose and shout SHOOT!
• Music Player answers to PLAY, PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS, VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and RESUME - might help while baking.
• Phone: respond to a phone call by just by saying ANSWER or REJECT!
• Alarm: stop or snooze alarms with the command STOP and SNOOZE - more reason for snoozing!
