2014 AMD A-Series APUs (Kaveri)

18.01.2014

AMD introduced the new A-series APUs for 2014. Previously known under the code name Kaveri, they are equipped with AMD Radeon R7 graphics processors. According to AMD, the new APUs "have a range of amazing benefits that will dramatically increase PC performance and make gaming even more immersive."

These include benefits such as up to 12 cores (4 CPUs and 8 GPUs) and a heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) that allows CPU and GPU cores to work in harmony, distributing tasks between relevant elements, resulting in increased performance. Kaveri also features DirectX 11.2 Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU architecture with Mantle API, AMD TrueAudio technology (32-channel surround sound for an ideal presence and immersion) and UltraHD (4K) support. It remains to be added that the new APUs are compatible with boards with an FM2+ processor socket.

Starting today, the AMD A10-7850K and AMD A10-7700K models are on sale. The AMD A8-7600 model will be on sale in the current quarter.

The AMD A10-7850K APU price is $173, AMD A10-7700K is $152, AMD A8-7600 is $119. The A10-7850K and A10-7700K models will ship with EA Battlefield 4.

All three models have quad-core CPUs and 4MB L10 cache, while the number of GPU cores is eight for the top model and six for the other two. The base frequency of the CPU in the case of AMD A7850-3,7K is 10 GHz, AMD A7700-3,4K - 8 and AMD A7600-3,3 - 3,1 / 4,0 GHz, the maximum Turbo Core frequency is 3,8 GHz, 3,8 .3,3 GHz and 95 / 95 GHz, and the TDP value is 65, 45 and 720/XNUMX W, respectively. GPU frequency - XNUMX MHz.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Memory eraser 18.11.2021

Scientists have developed a "memory eraser" similar to the one shown in the movie "Men in Black". Researchers at Kyoto University have done a successful memory-deletion experiment on mice.

The rodents learned a new task, then were subjected to an optical effect with a special device, and as a result, they completely lost their memories of what had happened to them before. The technology is based on the destruction of the cofilin protein, which is responsible for the transition of short-term memory to long-term memory.

Is it possible to erase a person's memory in the same way? In fact, it’s not quite the same as in this film, when they just shine in the eyes with some kind of device.

First, these animals are genetically modified. They produce a modified protein that, when exposed to light, generates molecules that lead to local destruction. And secondly, they also have a second modified protein that helps to perceive this light. Plus, they also need to implant this light source. That is, these mice are not just genetically modified, but in their head, right in the skull, a window is made and an optical fiber is inserted there, which transmits light of a certain frequency, which shines on those nerve cells that work there.

Of course, this is not good for humans. Because, first, we need to insert this fiber that will shine into the brain. And if you shine like that on an ordinary person, not modified, then nothing will happen. We do not yet know exactly how memory works - we know the pieces of this process. We know the specific nodes through which the signal passes. And there, when they intervened in mice, they acted on just one of the nodal parts of the system. And we have this nodal part in the depths of the brain, where in order to crawl through, you need to go through ten centimeters of brain tissue.
