so hey guys we are here the AMD experience zone here at computex 2013 we just finished up with the game the conference and what we've seen here is they're really hyping up the apu they're really pushing towards the apu both on the mobile sector and on the desktop sector as well so let's go inside I check out exactly what type of products they have on display here both tablets and notebooks along with the desktops so one cool notebook that we saw here at the aim the experience zone was the asus you 38 and what's cool about this notebook is a 13.3 inch screen so not too large great for you know a small compact spaces but it's a 1080p display so great resolution at such a small scale now also it seems like the contrast ratio is pretty good you know playing far cry 3 blood dragon lowest settings but at full 1080p resolution it's running pretty good again not your best frame rates but again this is a very thin extremely thin notebook running the aim da 1050 745 m so of a pretty powerful mobile apu rid the AMD radeon HD 686 10 g six gigabytes of ddr3 so all in all specs wise is pretty good and as you can see it can run gaming at acceptable levels on the side here we have two USB 3 ports HDMI port micro USB and a headphone jack also the power plug is fairly small so hopefully the power brake is also going to be not too large that's going to have an issue with notebooks these days on the other side we have SD card slot and another USB 3 ports so plenty of connections is again this is a notebook so we are missing an optical drive unfortunately would be nice to have a slim optical drive installed there but we can't have it also really cool notebooks here from Asus so now the cool thing we see here is this quantum tablet powered by aimed ease apu the a for 1200 aim d radeon HD 8180 has 2 gigabytes of ddr3 memory and cool thing 128 gigabyte SSD so very fluid perform in terms of responsiveness and also wake up kind of a very important for tablets as well not a physical windows button it is a touch button let's go back to desktop as you can see it's fairly fluid because of that a 128gb SSD plus all the hardware that's installed in the tablet this is a full HD display so very nice and crisp display looks like an IPS so viewing angles are really good yeah viewing angles are actually really good on this one unfortunately we don't have any dedicated keyboard buttons something that I would like to see so only can be accessed through desktop here on the side here we have a mini HDMI port headphone jack and micro SD and a sim card slot no USB unfortunately on that side and then we have a USB 3 port for charging and also connected to computer and transferring data a charging port a screen lock button and volume rocker so pretty standard here on the top also have the power button to turn on and off the device now one thing that we also noticed is there's no nothing in the bottom so it's completely bare which means that there is no docking station available for this tablet so this is the OEM design so that the white label meaning companies can brand it as their own therefore quanta has come around and picked up this tablet and branded it as the quantity tablet a really cool product here we see here at AMD experience zone so apart from seeing the APU is being pushed for the mobile market also the desktop market we're also seeing AMD really pushing towards the gaming experience as well as serious so apart from the AP use this is the running the AMD 7990 so the world's fastest graphics cards at the moment so the sheer scale of this gaming experience is actually quite amazing so we have so many five screens this is 1920 x 1200 resolution / screen so fairly fairly a lot of pixels on this single single panel set up here but it's running tomb Raider's so fairly graphic that sense of gay but again this is an experience like no other five monitors out of one card actually quite quite unique and the frame rates are very very acceptable and the graphic settings here aren't maxed out but I'm sure that with some optimization it can run this game fully maxed out settings so what else we are seeing here the aim the experience zone is the diversity of applications of AP use throughout the entire range of either be a mobile system a desktop system or an all-in-one system like this one you see here this is a 42 inch display 1080p resolution is also touch so that's a that's a fancy addition but it's all powered by this apu the GX x 42 5 GA this is a quad-core clocked at 1.5 gigahertz the total power draw from this apu is only 15 watts so it's a very low power solution it's also right in the AMD Radeon 8330 II and has ddr3 memory slots here so that can be customizable but again a really cool solution all in one perfect or kiosks and things like that apu applications not just for mobile computing and gaming but also for real life for the useful applications so what we have here is the msi gx7 t so it features the world's fastest mobile GPU which is the HD 8970 m it's running by a shark on three screens from all of them from this laptop so again very impressive performance this laptop also has an APU installed which is the a-10 5750 running it's running Windows set windows 8 and also the GPU is two gigabytes of gddr5 memory so again allows us to run this 33 monitor resolution that no problem at the fairly acceptable frame rates as well 8 gigabytes of ddr3 memory a very impressive performance from AMD all around
