2015 AMD at CES Highlights:
- The next generation of mobile computing - AMD's first high-performance system-on-a-chip (SoC) and next-generation Mobile APU codenamed "Carrizo" will be showcased. Expected in market by mid-year, "Carrizo" has been designed for both modern consumer computing habits and the needs of IT departments -- a platform built for an always-on, media-centric and productivity-centric lifestyle with support for next-generation APIs such as DirectX 12, OpenCL 2.0, and the forthcoming Windows 10 operating system.
- 4K and beyond - AMD will be demonstrating exceptional ultra-high-definition experiences at 4K resolutions and beyond, spotlighting 4K gaming using AMD Radeon R9 graphics and AMD Eyefinity technology, the Apple iMac with 5K Retina display powered by AMD Radeon R9 graphics, and the new Alienware 15 notebooks with 4K display support powered by new AMD Radeon R9 M295X graphics.
- New consumer and commercial client experiences - AMD and its technology partners will present exciting consumer and commercial client computing experiences at CES for work and play, including AMD Face Login and AMD Gesture Control on the Lenovo IdeaPad Z50 laptop powered by the AMD A10-7300 APU with AMD Radeon R6 graphics, accelerated applications on the HP EliteBook 725 G2 powered by the AMD A10 PRO-7350B APU with AMD Radeon R6 graphics, innovative ways to manage video content on the HP Envy TouchSmart powered by AMD FX-7500 APU with AMD Radeon R7 graphics, and a space-saving home theater PC in the ZOTAC ZBOX PA330 pico Series powered by the AMD A4 Micro-6400T APU.
- AMD FreeSync technology for smoother gaming - FreeSync technology enables an improved gaming experience through dynamic refresh rates that are synchronized to the frame rate of AMD Radeon graphics cards and APUs. At CES, AMD's partners, including, BenQ, LG Electronics, Nixeusm, Samsung, and ViewSonic will showcase the world's first FreeSync-enabled displays.
- Embedded innovation - QNAP, a leading provider of network attached storage (NAS) systems, will announce that the AMD Embedded G-Series system-on-chip (SoC) is powering their new TVS-x63 platform. Also at CES, AMD will demo various embedded solutions powered by AMD Embedded processors, including Gizmo 2, an open source development board offering outstanding compute and graphics performance for embedded programmers and advanced DIYers; BioDigitalPC, a credit card-sized x86 PC designed for multiple vertical markets; and ThinLabs All-In-One POE Thin Client, ideal for digital signage and point of sale systems.

:confused: :shadedshu: :cry:
If they don't bring a good chip to the table before this year is out,they might as well hang it up.
AMD went down the wrong path for too long.
I used AMD (predominately) from 1998-2010.
They release a CPU architecture that performs worse than previous offerings and try to sugar-coat it.
Furthermore double-down on it..for years :eek: .
It is what it is.
Super pi is the most stupid old benchmark ever, anyone uses that to compare different brand CPU's is just silly! Try something like wprime.
Here's the fastest FX chip Wprime: hwbot.org/submission/2374537_cherv_wprime___32m_fx_8350_4sec_381ms 7430Mhz 4.381 seconds
Here's what I'm running @ fairly conservative clocks : 4200Mhz 4.123 seconds i.imgur.com/5X70PQw.jpg
I spent $70 on this chip :p
Here's Wprime on a Thuban @ 6149 Mhz
hwbot.org/submission/2314712_mtech_wprime___32m_phenom_ii_x4_960t_be_4sec_141ms 4.141 seconds
1 Ghz less clock ..2 threads less and still beats maxed FX chip.
Forgive me, but I don't see the improvement there. :rolleyes:
Double the performance? o_O
Sadly, I think this company is finished on the high-end CPU market.
ir.amd.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=74093&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2002910
..This is a good thing.
wprime is alot fairer program then stupid super pi, thats my point, god even a crappy P4 would beat out a later AMD chip couse its just that crap of a program geared towards intel, period!
and yes double the performance easy, maybe run some real world programs and you will find out, not cherry picked ones off the internet, try running DVDFAB and convert a show to MP4 format and you will then see what I mean, benchmarks means nothing compared to real world results in programs we actually use. Then try converting 6-8 shows at once in convertXtoDVD and again you will see the difference, my i7 970 only just beats my FX 8350, but it crushes my Phenom CPU's easy.
Now get off the internet and try some real life programs yourself!!! you might learn something :slap:
