AMD<\/a> have launched their second generation of accelerated processing units (APUs) for mobile products, codenamed \u201cTrinity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Replacing the AMD Llano range of APUs, Trinity mobile processors aim to target mainstream as well as Ultrabook laptops. AMD will release Trinity desktop parts, however those will only release later in 2012. In the meantime we have a look at the technology and features found in Trinity:<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s inside?<\/h3>\n

The Trinity is made up of the AMD Piledriver CPU core, as well as the HD7000 series graphics processors to handle the display side of things.<\/p>\n

Piledriver features AMD Turbo Core technology which can reactively boost the CPU and GPU frequency depending on the application and temperature.<\/p>\n

CPU core frequencies can be boosted up to 3.2GHz (from a standard of up to 2.7GHz), while the GPUs can get a boost from 497MHz t 686MHz.<\/p>\n

AMD claims CPU performance is up by 29 percent, while GPU performance has increased by up to 56 percent over the previous generation Llano APU offerings.<\/p>\n
