AMD Releases Second Generation APU Processors

Towards the end of 2011, AMD officially announced several new processors intended for desktop and notebook platforms. This new processor not only offer improved performance in terms ofspeed and course, but it allows desktop users to combine the processor with onboard graphics card contained in a single processor to improve performance.

Latest processor technology is still using the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) which continue the success the first generation where the APU is capable of producing high-performance graphics-based on board though. APU's graphics chip processors utilize data from the processor and chipset instead.

"A series APU latest processor offers increased compared to previous generations that succeed in the market, which is able to provide an exceptional experience for consumers who are looking for the best economic performance by offering a more responsive multitasking capabilities, battery life is longer,graphical display can play the latest games, high definition multimedia to support, "said AMD.

Here's a list of AMD processors APU series A for desktop platforms:
