AMD launches A-Series processors in India

AMD has launched its next generation AMD A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) for desktop, small form-factor and home-theater PCs in India. Targeted at do-it-yourself (DIY) PC builders, mainstream gamers and value-added resellers, the next generation desktop AMD A-Series APU will be available from Rs 3,000 to Rs 8,000.

AMD APU users also get access to the AMD AppZone and a comprehensive list of accelerated applications that leverage the full computing power of the APU. With hardware accelerated support for DirectX 11 on AMD Radeongraphics and AMD Eyefinity technology delivering a more immersive experience, the AMD A-Series APUs are the ideal solution for systems running the highly-anticipated Microsoft Windows 8 as well as the Windows 7 operating systems.

"The new AMD A-Series APU is ideal for anyone looking for a new desktop or home theater PC with leading performance for the dollar," said Leslie Sobon, corporate vice president, desktop and component products, AMD. "The combination of processing speed, multiple compute cores and discrete-level graphic capabilities on the next generation AMD A-Series APU make it an excellent platform for the gamer and PC enthusiast alike."
