What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Socket Type
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)It's a 14-inch system with a TN panel and 1,366 x 768 pixel native resolution.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)So configured and running high detail settings and antialiasing disabled, you're looking at a very healtbhy and playable 46 frames per second at 720p.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)Our main worry with the new AMD A10-4600M was that its Bulldozer-derived CPU cores might actually make for a backwards step in performance compared to the fully quad-core Llano chip it replaces.
Socket
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)Up the ante to ultra quality, 4x antialiasing and 1,366 x 768 pixels and you'll still get a near-playable 25 frames per second.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)This is where things get complicated, because the AMD A8-3500M, which claimed to have HD 6000 graphics but really had HD 5000 vintage hardware, has 400 graphics shaders, whereas the AMD A10-4600M has just 384 of those VLIW4 shaders.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)As for the AMD A10-4600M itself, it's nominally a 2.3GHz chip manufactured using the same 32nm production process as both Llano chips (like the AMD A8-3500M more powerful Bulldozer-class desktop processors including the AMD FX-8150).
Type of CPU
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)And yet AMD can still get its new chip into thin, light and sexy laptops that are Ultrabooks in all but name.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)What's more, it might just make for a much more affordable and portable alternative to all those big money, heavy weight gaming laptops out there.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)Buyers looking for affordable laptops in the Ultrabook idiom but with a little extra graphics gumption would be well advised for the first retail systems with this impressive little chip to appear.
Laptop
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)It's a solid platform for mobile computing.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)If the future of computing is all about mobile devices, the future of computer chips is increasingly about squeezing in more features into ever less space.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)Increasingly, graphics performance is what matters most in mobile devices.
Multicore
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)Admittedly, it hasn't been brought right up to date with AMD latest Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)But the basics remain pretty similar and involve two Bulldozer-style CPU modules and therefore four of those tricksy modular cores.
by Tech Radar (May, 2012)The graphics core has had an update, too.
