• 
  Kaveri APU covers the A8-, A6-, A4-, and E2-series of the 3rd generation Fusion APUs.
  

• 
  Kerala is the codename for the Jaguar cores based platform. It is to replace the Enhanced-Bobcat cores based Deccan platform.
  
• 
  The chipset for this platform is codenamed Yangtze.
  
• 
  Samara is the codename for the Jaguar cores based tablet platform. It is to replace Brazos-T platform.
  
• 
  The chipset for this tablet platform is codenamed Salton.
  
• 
  The processor package will be remain as FT2 BGA package.
  

• 
  For the Budget desktop and notebook markets (18 W TDP), Kabini will replace the Krishna based E-series.
  
• 
  For the Low-power/netbook markets (9 W TDP), Kabini will also replace the Wichita based C-series.
  
• 
  For the Tablet market, Samara (codename also used for platform), will replace the Hondo based Z-series.
  

The direct competitor of the Intel Atom processor line is the AMD Fusion C- and E-series. The C-series (C-30: single core, C-50: dual cores) has a TDP (9 W) similar to the Atom, the higher clocked E-series (E-240: single core, E-350: dual core) comes with a TDP of 18 Watts what corresponds more to an Atom including a dedicated GPU (e.g. ION2, ATI 5430). The processors include a single or dual core 64-bit CPU with out-of-order execution, DDR3 memory controller and an 80-core Radeon GPU. The performance for games is significantly better for the E-series - up to 326.5% better, although neither of the platforms is well suited for gaming.³³

Bios >> IGX Configuration >> UMA Frame Buffer Size Frame buffer size is the total amount of system memory allocated solely for the onboard graphics controller. MS-DOS, for example, will use only this memory for display. Options are: Auto (default), 256MB, 512MB, 1024 MB. ³⁴
