New AMD Z-Series APU for Tablets Enables Immersive Experience for Upcoming Microsoft Windows 8 Platforms
(2) Power projections based on calculations carried out by AMD Performance Labs measuring total system and individual component power at Windows Idle, while web browsing, and while viewing a 9:57 minute video in h.264 format, viewed at 720P setting at 60 nits. The AMD Z-60 based reference platform is projected to measure .75 W at idle, 1.1 W during web browsing, 1.6 W during video playback and .02 W during a system S3 "sleep" state. Total system power for the reference platform is projected at 2.9 W at idle, 3.9 W during web browsing, 4.8 W during video playback and .08 W during a system S3 "sleep" state. Battery life calculations were derived using a 30Whr battery pack at 98% utilization. The AMD Z-60 power projections are based on a reference system configuration including the Dual Core Z-60 1.0GHz APU with AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics, 2GB DDR3-1066 system memory and Microsoft Windows 8. Details for Windows 8 power states are outlined in the confidential Win8 logo specification. BRNeB-I10
