—Latest APU and GPU tech­no­lo­gies are desi­gned to enable deve­lo­pers and delight tech enthu­si­asts, hard-core gamers and main­stream con­su­mers alike —

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — 2014 Inter­na­tio­nal Con­su­mer Elec­tro­nics Show (CES) — Jan. 6, 2014 — As tech­no­lo­gy lea­ders from around the glo­be arri­ve in Las Vegas for the 2014 Inter­na­tio­nal CES®, AMD (NYSE: AMD) deli­vers a tech­no­lo­gy show­ca­se like no other. Insi­de the AMD exhi­bit (#CP2 in the LVCC Cen­tral Pla­za), show atten­de­es will enjoy an array of inno­va­tions powered by the latest AMD APU and gra­phics tech­no­lo­gies, from stun­ning gra­phics on 4K dis­plays, gam­ing on a varie­ty of devices inclu­ding tablets and the latest game con­so­les, to new con­su­mer-fri­end­ly PCs sup­port­ing both Micro­soft Win­dows® and Goog­le™ Android appli­ca­ti­ons. The star of the show is the ground-brea­king “Sur­round House 2: Mons­ters in the Orches­tra,” a 360-degree sur­round-com­pu­ting demons­tra­ti­on that lever­a­ges the immense com­pu­ting capa­bi­li­ties of AMD tech­no­lo­gies to crea­te an immersi­ve, first-of-its-kind audio­vi­su­al and inter­ac­ti­ve experience.

“We live in an exci­ting new world whe­re com­pu­ting is ever­y­whe­re and trans­forming our dai­ly lives,” said Lisa Su, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD Glo­bal Busi­ness Units.  “AMD is at the heart of the inno­va­tions, dri­ving a visi­on of ‘Sur­round Com­pu­ting’ to pro­vi­de the most visual­ly com­pel­ling, immersi­ve expe­ri­en­ces in gam­ing, the next-gene­ra­ti­on of PCs, and the cloud.  We are tru­ly re-defi­ning modern com­pu­ting with our cus­to­mers and eco­sys­tem part­ners here at CES.”

2014 AMD at CES Highlights:

·         “Kaveri” – AMD’s most powerful APUs ever, the AMD A10 7850K and 7700K (code­na­med “Kaveri”), are now ship­ping and will be on shel­ves in desk­tops ear­ly next week, with pre-orders start­ing today from sel­ect sys­tem buil­ders. “Kaveri” is the world’s first APU to include Hete­ro­ge­neous Sys­tem Archi­tec­tu­re (HSA) fea­tures, the immersi­ve sound of AMD TrueAu­dio Tech­no­lo­gy and the per­for­mance gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces of Man­t­le API . “Kaveri”-based note­books will be available in the first half of this year.

·         “Dis­co­very Pro­ject” – Win­ner of two cove­ted CES Inno­va­tions Awards, the “Dis­co­very Pro­ject” fea­tures AMD’s upco­ming low-power “Mul­lins” APU in an ima­gi­na­ti­ve tablet, game con­trol­ler and pro­duc­ti­vi­ty dock crea­ted to demons­tra­te the full capa­bi­li­ties of AMD inno­va­ti­on. The “Dis­co­very Pro­ject” is on dis­play in the 2014 CES Inno­va­ti­on Show­ca­se as well as being demons­tra­ted at AMD’s booth.

·         Android OS Expe­ri­ence on Win­dows –AMD and its tech­no­lo­gy part­ner BlueStacks announ­ced a new joint solu­ti­on brin­ging the full Android OS expe­ri­ence to Win­dows-based tablets, 2‑in-1s, note­books and desk­tops opti­mi­zed for fourth-gene­ra­ti­on AMD APUs. The solu­ti­on allows Android to run vir­tual­ly within Win­dows, eli­mi­na­ting the need to dis­en­ga­ge from one OS befo­re using ano­ther, and pro­vi­des fami­li­ar Android inter­faces, app sup­port and direct file sha­ring, giving Android apps access to files stored within the Win­dows file system.

·         Man­t­le - 2014 CES will be the site of the first public demons­tra­ti­on of DICE’s “Batt­le­field 4™” run­ning AMD’s Man­t­le on a 4K dis­play. Show-goers can also expe­ri­ence Oxi­de Games’ “StarS­warm” demo for their “Nitrous” game engi­ne, which also uses Man­t­le, when visi­ting AMD’s booth.

·         New AMD Rade­on™ R9/R7/R5 M200 Series GPUs – AMD’s new fami­ly of mobi­le dis­crete GPU pro­ducts make their debut at this year’s CES in sys­tems from Ali­en­wa­re, Cle­vo®, Leno­vo and MSI. Based on AMD’s award-win­ning Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re, the new AMD Rade­on R9, R7 and R5 M200 Series mobi­le dis­crete GPUs offer pre­mi­um gra­phics per­for­mance and out­stan­ding image qua­li­ty with sup­port for Man­t­le API.  AMD’s 2014 mobi­le dis­crete GPU road­map can be found here.

“Sur­round House 2: Mons­ters in the Orchestra”

Brin­ging AMD’s Sur­round Com­pu­ting visi­on to life in an over­whel­ming and uni­que way, “Sur­round House 2: Mons­ters in the Orches­tra” enga­ges show-goers in an instru­men­tal per­for­mance by a coll­ec­tion of mis­fit mons­ters per­forming in a 360-degree domed thea­ter. This immersi­ve expe­ri­ence uses many of AMD’s cur­rent and deve­lo­ping tech­no­lo­gies inclu­ding ges­tu­re con­trol opti­mi­zed by HSA fea­tures on the new “Kaveri” APU, next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD Fire­Pro™ gra­phics dri­ving 14 mil­li­on pixels across six pro­jec­tors, and 32.4 chan­nels of audio pro­ces­sed with AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy and pre­sen­ted with Dis­crete Digi­tal Mul­ti­point Audio.

The White House: “We The Geeks” Han­gout with AMD

Unders­coring its com­mit­ment to the world of tech­no­lo­gy today and tomor­row, AMD Seni­or Vice Pre­si­dent and Chief Tech­no­lo­gy Offi­cer Mark Paper­mas­ter will par­ti­ci­pa­te in a spe­cial CES edi­ti­on of the popu­lar “We The Geeks” mode­ra­ted panel ses­si­ons. “We The Geeks: The Future of Com­pu­ting” will explo­re how tech­no­lo­gy for com­pu­ting devices is dri­ving them to beco­me com­ple­te­ly ing­rai­ned in our ever­y­day lives. This spe­cial CES edi­ti­on will be mode­ra­ted by Tom Kalil, White House Depu­ty Direc­tor for Tech­no­lo­gy and Inno­va­ti­on, and will take place Wed­nes­day, Jan. 8, at 11 a.m. PST. “We the Geeks” is a new series of Goog­le+ Han­gouts that high­lights the future of sci­ence, tech­no­lo­gy, and inno­va­ti­on in the United Sta­tes, and are web­cast live on WhiteHouse.gov/WeTheGeeks and the White House Goog­le+ page with a con­cur­rent social media con­ver­sa­ti­on on Twit­ter at #WeThe­Ge­eks.
