VISION Technology from AMD Announced – See, Share, Create

AMD today announced a new way to help consumers select the PC that best meets their needs. Working with retailers and PC manufactures, VISION Technology from AMD breaks the model in how PC benefits are communicated. Rather than the traditional model, which focuses on the technical specifications of individual hardware components, VISION communicates the value of the whole system and demonstrates the combined processing power of both the CPU and GPU to deliver a superior visual experience to mainstream PC users. It emphasizes how an AMD-based PC is optimized for video, digital media and content creation activities. VISION guides the industry past the era of CPU-centric marketing and describes the PC capabilities in terms of what can be enjoyed on the system see, share, create. This helps consumers to make better informed buying decisions and they have broken VISION down into four categories.

• VISION – Basic is for people who use productivity tools like Microsoft Office and who surf the web, maybe listen to music and look at their photos
• VISION – Premium is for those who also want to watch High-definition and Blu-rays, edit photos and play some games
• VISION – Ultimate is for the video editor and 3D game player
• VISION – Black is for high-end users
