07:40PM EST - Done!
07:40PM EST - And we're done, nothing too earth shattering here but good to see AMD. The really exciting stuff will be what happens around 2015, it's just a matter of getting there - hopefully Kabini/Temash can help
07:38PM EST - And of course the 11.6-inch tablet using AMD's Z60 APU
07:37PM EST - Both systems use standard voltage A10 parts
07:37PM EST - 15.6-inch and 14-inch AMD A10 notebooks from Vizio
07:37PM EST - All of the Vizio PCs are Microsoft Signature, no bloatware, it's insane that this is a feature
07:36PM EST - 24-inch Vizio All-in-One running AMD A10
07:34PM EST - Now talking about AMD's partnership with Vizio
07:34PM EST - Richland looks like Trinity with a software update
07:33PM EST - Kaveri will be 2H2013 with GCN support
07:33PM EST - Temash demos: 1) showing better GPU performance than Clover Trail, 2) showing 1080p gaming performance
07:30PM EST - Temash: dual/quad-core, less than 5W, goes into fanless designs - full Windows 8 compatibility
07:29PM EST - CPU + GPU performance gives it an advantage over the i3, obviously non GPU accelerated workloads won't look as good
07:29PM EST - Now Temash - tablet APU
07:28PM EST - 15W Kabini TDP, running OpenCL image processing workload
07:27PM EST - Comparing Kabini and a Core i3-3217U Ultrabook
07:27PM EST - Kabini - 50%+ performance increase from Brazos 2.0, first quad-core x86 SoC, shipping 1H2013
07:26PM EST - Face login is self explanatory, screen mirror pushes your display to other devices wirelessly
07:26PM EST - Use integrated front facing camera to recognize gestures
07:25PM EST - These sound like GPU computing applications that leverage the APU hardware
07:25PM EST - New software with Richland systems that enable things like gestures, face login, screen mirror, etc...
07:24PM EST - 20% - 40% increase in performance over AMD A8/A10 Trinity systems
07:24PM EST - Talking about Richland
07:23PM EST - HP AMD Sleekbook announced today as well - 15.6" system with touch
07:21PM EST - ASUS is taking the stage to talk about their AMD platforms
07:20PM EST - Recapping 2012 successes in the APU/CPU space
07:19PM EST - We want Kabini details
07:19PM EST - Now going to talk about APUs
07:18PM EST - Increasing performance year over year in each segment by 25%
07:18PM EST - 2nd gen GCN architecture
07:18PM EST - Talking about the Radeon HD 8500M, 8600M, 8800M GPUs
07:16PM EST - "we intend to continue to lead in this market"
07:16PM EST - 3 of 4 available consoles today, all have AMD hardware - so will the ones in the future
07:15PM EST - AMD is partnering with a CiiNOW - cloud gaming platform to stream 3D gaming content to lightweight clients
07:14PM EST - The latter is pretty easy when Nintendo, Sony and MS all will use AMD GPUs next gen
07:14PM EST - AMD wants to lead in the 4 corners og gaming: content, client, cloud and console
07:14PM EST - PC gaming hardware remains a very large and relevant market
07:13PM EST - Now talking about AMD's position on the Green500 list
07:12PM EST - Holding up the "ultimate AMD gaming notebook"
07:11PM EST - Recapping 2012 GPU launches
07:10PM EST - Talking about Radeon Graphics now
07:10PM EST - First quad-core SoC: Kabini
07:10PM EST - The 2013 lineup: Solar System/Sea Islands (GPUs), Richland & Kaveria (APUs), Kabini (ultrathins), Temash (tablets)
07:09PM EST - Going to talk about AMD's execution for the rest of the event
07:09PM EST - Talking about surround computing and how to bring that to reality, a lot of this sounds like what Carrell was trying to do before he was let go - Holodeck by 2016 right?
07:08PM EST - Lisa is going to talk about Vision and Execution
07:08PM EST - Lisa Su just took the stage

That's fantastic.Meanwhile, Intel is mass producing 22nm chips with 14nm on the horizon. Still want to discuss.
P.S. Try to sound like less of an AMD Fanboy.
P.P.S. I own several AMD systems, except for my most recent and most powerful system - a Core i5 Ivy. I wonder why?

Ugh. We really need the edit button back. I've been saying this for the last...year (along with a lot of other people!).I meant "still want to discuss power saving?"
Oh, and AMD is not "dominating" NV's desktop/mobile chips. What planet do you live on?

He lives on planet DAMD.DAMD stupid

Man! Intel has been in 22nm for 18 mths now.Difficult to believe that they are able to get a 20-40% increase over Trinity and better battery life. Do they have a RCM 2.0 design or what. Looks like Richland provides a bigger update over Trinity that Trinity over Llano. And this too for a design that was never officially in the books till 2H2012? Too good to be true!

18 months??? a new year doesn't mean that you need to calculate additional 12 months.. Few ivy bridge laptop cpu released 23apr2012 so that is 8months and few weeks.And Intel owns its fabs, amd has to work with other companies and wait for there node to be ready.
everyone is always bashing against amd, what many people don't see is that intel is very aggressive pushing there portfolio to OEM hw providers in a way to reduce AMD platforms even demanding what an OEM can and can't with there new Intel HW. while they might have the right solutions they are also always more expensive. time will arrive that this will affect us consumers because of lack portfolio choice and higher prices. but hey who cares they all think they need an i7 for daily work or reviewers always need to test the most high-end cpu as if all the ones below have the same advantage.... go with the flow, typical consumers like buying an ipad or iphone.

You pretty much said it here. Intel have the technology advantage but their product strategies are offensive.CeriseCogburn - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - link
LOL - there's the big chip on the shoulder that blows from your little piehole.Now I know.
Rontalk - Wednesday, January 9, 2013 - link
And what the benefit of 22nm? A Core i5 Ivy Bridge is more power hungry as an AMD A10 Trinity chip, while you get quad core CPU from AMD and twice as GPU performance!silverblue - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - link
Yes, but far lower CPU performance, if truth be told.Rontalk - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - link
No, Quad Core AMD Trinity as fast as Dual Core Core i5!
