PROJECT TITLE :

Energy-Efficient Graphics and Multimedia in 28-nm Carrizo Accelerated Processing Unit

ABSTRACT:

Carrizo is AMD's sixth-generation accelerated processing unit (APU), optimized to deliver performance uplifts and battery-life improvements in thinner and lighter notebook platforms. Its primary goals are to deliver a differentiated gaming and multimedia experience to the tip user and to make progress toward AMD's goal of improving energy efficiency in its APUs by twenty five times by year 20twenty. This article describes the new features, low-power design, and power management algorithms used to attain these goals. Carrizo delivered a 63 % increase within the 3DMark1one benchmark score, a 350 % increase in video transcoding throughput, a 60 p.c reduction in full-screen HD video playback power, and a fifty p.c reduction in Windows idle power compared to its predecessor, the Kaveri APU.
