07:40PM EST - Done!
07:40PM EST - And we're done, nothing too earth shattering here but good to see AMD. The really exciting stuff will be what happens around 2015, it's just a matter of getting there - hopefully Kabini/Temash can help
07:38PM EST - And of course the 11.6-inch tablet using AMD's Z60 APU
07:37PM EST - Both systems use standard voltage A10 parts
07:37PM EST - 15.6-inch and 14-inch AMD A10 notebooks from Vizio
07:37PM EST - All of the Vizio PCs are Microsoft Signature, no bloatware, it's insane that this is a feature
07:36PM EST - 24-inch Vizio All-in-One running AMD A10
07:34PM EST - Now talking about AMD's partnership with Vizio
07:34PM EST - Richland looks like Trinity with a software update
07:33PM EST - Kaveri will be 2H2013 with GCN support
07:33PM EST - Temash demos: 1) showing better GPU performance than Clover Trail, 2) showing 1080p gaming performance
07:30PM EST - Temash: dual/quad-core, less than 5W, goes into fanless designs - full Windows 8 compatibility
07:29PM EST - CPU + GPU performance gives it an advantage over the i3, obviously non GPU accelerated workloads won't look as good
07:29PM EST - Now Temash - tablet APU
07:28PM EST - 15W Kabini TDP, running OpenCL image processing workload
07:27PM EST - Comparing Kabini and a Core i3-3217U Ultrabook
07:27PM EST - Kabini - 50%+ performance increase from Brazos 2.0, first quad-core x86 SoC, shipping 1H2013
07:26PM EST - Face login is self explanatory, screen mirror pushes your display to other devices wirelessly
07:26PM EST - Use integrated front facing camera to recognize gestures
07:25PM EST - These sound like GPU computing applications that leverage the APU hardware
07:25PM EST - New software with Richland systems that enable things like gestures, face login, screen mirror, etc...
07:24PM EST - 20% - 40% increase in performance over AMD A8/A10 Trinity systems
07:24PM EST - Talking about Richland
07:23PM EST - HP AMD Sleekbook announced today as well - 15.6" system with touch
07:21PM EST - ASUS is taking the stage to talk about their AMD platforms
07:20PM EST - Recapping 2012 successes in the APU/CPU space
07:19PM EST - We want Kabini details
07:19PM EST - Now going to talk about APUs
07:18PM EST - Increasing performance year over year in each segment by 25%
07:18PM EST - 2nd gen GCN architecture
07:18PM EST - Talking about the Radeon HD 8500M, 8600M, 8800M GPUs
07:16PM EST - "we intend to continue to lead in this market"
07:16PM EST - 3 of 4 available consoles today, all have AMD hardware - so will the ones in the future
07:15PM EST - AMD is partnering with a CiiNOW - cloud gaming platform to stream 3D gaming content to lightweight clients
07:14PM EST - The latter is pretty easy when Nintendo, Sony and MS all will use AMD GPUs next gen
07:14PM EST - AMD wants to lead in the 4 corners og gaming: content, client, cloud and console
07:14PM EST - PC gaming hardware remains a very large and relevant market
07:13PM EST - Now talking about AMD's position on the Green500 list
07:12PM EST - Holding up the "ultimate AMD gaming notebook"
07:11PM EST - Recapping 2012 GPU launches
07:10PM EST - Talking about Radeon Graphics now
07:10PM EST - First quad-core SoC: Kabini
07:10PM EST - The 2013 lineup: Solar System/Sea Islands (GPUs), Richland & Kaveria (APUs), Kabini (ultrathins), Temash (tablets)
07:09PM EST - Going to talk about AMD's execution for the rest of the event
07:09PM EST - Talking about surround computing and how to bring that to reality, a lot of this sounds like what Carrell was trying to do before he was let go - Holodeck by 2016 right?
07:08PM EST - Lisa is going to talk about Vision and Execution
07:08PM EST - Lisa Su just took the stage

I suspect AMD is easier to work with on the console front. Microsoft moved away from them because they wouldn't licence out the whole chip like AMD would, allowing them to shrink it and modify it as needed. I'm not sure if Nvidia still does that.piroroadkill - Tuesday, January 8, 2013 - link
Xbox Infinity has been rumoured to have an AMD GPU for a very long time.Also, backwards compat - they are probably using the old GPU for that, so you may as well work with AMD for that hardware while you're at it.

That is good, consoles will get decent CPU cores and excellent graphics. AMD deserves to get some market share, which also good for us, because a strong competition is always welcome! Of course not for Nvidia, ha, ha, ha.CeriseCogburn - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - link
Yet amd will make crap console junk, and then the crappy games that are crappy because amd cheap junk is powering them, will be ported over the desktop PC world, and screw us all !Thank you amd for being so pathetic that you get a pity **** console job to save your *** !
LOL - It's funny and too true - thanks for screwing everyone again amd, not just the console world, but desktop gaming as well !
I love saving losers, it makes the world so much better... N O T

So the Radeon 8000 series is out...There was very little hoopla over it. Did they even mention it? From a glimpse I can maybe tell why, it looks the exact same as the 7k series?http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/oe...

To answer it without the link from author Ryan Smith (hey that's my name too, except for the Smith part!) -It's a rebadge of the HD 7000 series. Same cards, new number. No, what you're feeling is not exclusive to only you. We all feel gyped.

For hardware designs you don't built them base on "competition" but on what's best. You'll never want to kill compatibility with past games unless there's no other choice.naylamp - Monday, January 7, 2013 - link
So Nvidia is unveiling project shield, new Tegra4 and AMD is just presenting new laptops? I don't see a bright future for AMD.Principle - Monday, January 7, 2013 - link
Are you completely out of touch? Did you eat paint chips as a child? Lets see, AMD released a tablet chip that likely beats Tegra 4, AMD released mobile and desktop GPUs that dominate Nvidia's, low power great selling APUs that compete with Intel core i3s, and a 20-40% increase in Trinity performance for high performance APUs is a huge jump that will take it over Core i5s. This is before releasing a lower feature size and revamped Steamroller design later in the year, whic his another 40% performance increase. So not sure what the heck you were reading.
