*Additional hardware (e.g. Blu-ray drive, HD or 10-bit monitor, TV tuner, wirelessly enabled HDTV) and/or software (e.g. multimedia applications) are required for the full enablement of some features. HD Video display requires an HD video source. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems—check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. 1Dual graphics performance is projected by AMD Performance Labs based on expected uplift experienced by adding a discrete graphics card to an APU-based system. The expected uplift depends on the ratio of the relative performance of the two graphics engines (i.e. the discrete graphics and the APU graphics). Specific projections are based on current reference design platforms and are subject to change when final product comes to market. The system configuration is represented by an APU-based system (being the reference design codename "Lynx", consisting of the AMD dual-core A4 3450 APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 6410 Discrete-Level Graphics, 4GB DDR3-1066 system memory and Microsoft Windows Ultimate 64-bit) to which an AMD Radeon™ HD 6450 discrete graphics card has been added; creating an AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics system. CP-08 2Requires application support for AMD APP Acceleration technology. AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features requires support for OpenCL™ or DirectCompute (including AMD's Universal Video Decoder [UVD]).
