Intel UMA (Unified Memory Architecture)

UMA (Unified Memory Architecture) just means the graphics adapter uses system RAM as video memory. It's ok for everyday use like surfing the web, watching movies etc but it's not good for gaming.

For gaming you'll want a graphics card made by Nvidia or ATI/AMD, not Intel's graphics.

AMD APUs (Accelerated Processing Units)

AMD Accelerated Processing Unit, formerly known as Fusion, is a marketing brand of AMD for a SoC aimed at adding Heterogeneous System Architecture ("HSA") features with the goal of making it easier to program, easier to optimize, easier to load balance, higher performance, and lower power. Fusion was announced in 2006 and has been in development since then. The final design is the product of the merger between AMD and ATI, combining general processor execution as well as 3D geometry processing and other functions of modern GPUs (like GPGPU computation) into a single die. This technology was shown to the general public in January 2011 at CES. Second-generation "Trinity" parts were released in June 2012

AMD APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) allow you to configure small-form-factor, long-battery-life PCs that consumers crave, while enabling the powerful, next-generation visual experiences that can set you apart and help create a competitive advantage in a hyper-competitive market. 

Enable the powerful visual computing experiences that your customers are looking for

  • Build PCs for next-generation applications enabled by AMD's ongoing APU programming collaboration with the ISV community
  • Deliver a superior visual experience that can set your products apart from the competition
  • Leverage the AMD Radeon™ design DNA for discrete-level graphics in a single-chip PC

Deliver PCs in today's sleek, modern form factors

  • Configure systems in the form factors and designs that consumers want, from ultrathin and mainstream notebooks to all-in-one desktops
  • Extend real-world battery life without compromising the visual experience

Extend a better experience across more price bands

  • Deliver lower-cost systems that still meet growing demand for high-definition computing capabilities
  • Reach a broader audience by pairing an excellent experience with desirable form factors -at an affordable price
  • Develop mainstream performance systems for a lower cost -to help you create systems differentiated by high-margin add-ons within your existing price bands

Systems powered by AMD APUs
