The client market has evolved with greater diversity in the types of mobile form factors and higher performance demands from the software and AMD is uniquely positioned to deliver the best processors to meet the needs of mobile device users today, said Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager, Global Business Units at AMD. As computing becomes more visual and the graphics processor can be leveraged to do other types of processing, our dedication to the software community and the APU architecture sets us apart from the competition and enables us to deliver the best user experience whether on a tablet, a hybrid device or a notebook.
