hey guys this is Austin so today I'm here the AMD APU 13 developer summit we're going to be taking a look at a new product the AMD Kaveri apu so joining me is Adam who's the product manager so if someone who hasn't maybe heard about the announcements yesterday what exactly is Kaveri all about Kaveri is our brand new revolutionary architecture essentially we've changed everything in the APU from the CPU side to the GPU side so Kaveri its core is basically what it's a quad-core CPU along with a correct so there's a four course of our new steamroller cores in there and there's up to eight different GCM compute units so GCN is essentially the same graphics technology that's in our new graphic cards so basically what we're looking at here is it's a quad-core CPU and it's also got well it's basically a Radeon graphics card kind of thrown into one so what can we look forward with Kaveri as opposed to previous generation ap use like what kind of performance and all that sort of thing we're not disclosing performance right now but we've seen with the battlefield that we can actually enjoy high resolutions of gaming than we could before we'll be able obviously to to push forward on the compute front as well so as far as the gaming stuff goes so you just show this little bit of battlefield 4 so take us through how exactly this Kaveri handle battlefield 4 right now we're seeing battlefield 4 with an optimized build of battlefield 4 so essentially just the regular retail release we're seeing about 30 frames per second at 1080p medium settings obviously you want faster frame rates you would lower the resolution or whatnot and hopefully there's there's new stuff to come as well we've also talked about mantle and mantle is something that will also work on our ap use and that will come out later and will hopefully see some further enhancements and gains on that so who would you say kaveri is really aimed at like as far as gaming goes like do you think this would be a good good idea for someone who's maybe trying to get into entry level gaming definitely on the mainstream user the the user who plays the latest games and is on a budget certain types of MMO games there's definitely a whole wide breadth of different types of gaming applications out there that gamers who would buy this would see a definite advantage of but we're really seeing this as well as a reach into that mainstream audience that is using their computer for beyond games so they're using it for productivity they're using it for content creation so they're doing a little bit of work on their PCs and they're looking for something at a really good price and really with a Kaveri ap there's it's really second to none awesome so as far as Kaveri when are we going to I should be able to go out and buy these so we've announced at our apu a developer summit that will be launching these january 14th so it's within a couple months perfect all right hey thanks very much it's awesome
