Based On Amd, A New Generation Of Apu System Platform Development

The Annapurna platform is based on the AMD Trinity Fusion APU, which integrates CPU and GPU in same die plus PCI express root complex, and the Hudson-D4Fusion Controller Hub. The new technology will provide another advantage, that is when you plug graphic card into Annapurna PCIe slot, who’s GPU model is the same with APU inner, the graphic performance will raise to1.5times than before. You will get more beautiful/soft color, more vivid and real picture of3D.Annapurna is a Trinity Fusion desktop platform supporting PCIe Gen2/3(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express GEN2/3) and DDR3(Double Data Rate3)DIMMs(Dual In-line Memory Modules). NOTE:Current AMD design rules do not allow for PCIe Gen3routing on4layer boards. There will need to be some timing correlation performed on Annapurna to see in Gen3timings can be met with some amount of margin. Annapurna is a typical ATX (Advanced Technology Extended)desktop design. The feature set will be primarily leveraged from the Armorhead design. Support DDR3dual channel memory controller, Display port,3Dedicated Display Outputs,4Independent Display Controllers, IOMMU v2, SVI2.0interface for processor core and NB regulators, SATA(Serial ATA)/ESATA (External Serial ATA), HD Audio, USB(Universal Serial Bus)3.0/2.0/1/1, G bps Ethernet.The Annapurna platform serves the purposes of Trinity FM2silicon validation, demonstration, performance evaluation and development platform for OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer), ODM(Overseas Development Ministry), OSV(Operation system Vender), IBV(Individual Build vender), ISV(Individual Software vender), IHV(Individual hardware vender).
