New Delhi, Nov 20: Samsung and AMD have partnered to bring monitors with screen syncing technologies in March 2015, starting with the UD590 (23.60-inch & 28-inch) and UE850 (23.6-inch, 27-inch and 31.5-inch), followed by its introduction across Samsung’s entire UHD lineup.
The FreeSync technology will enable dynamic refresh rates to be synchronized to the frame rate of AMD Radeon graphics cards and APUs. The companies claim this will reduce input latency and reduce or fully eliminate visual defects during gaming and video playback.
“We are very pleased to adopt AMD FreeSync technology for our 2015 Samsung Electronics Visual Display division’s UHD monitor roadmap, which fully supports open standards,” said Joe Chan, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia Headquarters.
“With this technology, we believe users, including gamers, will be able to enjoy their videos and games to be played with smoother frame display without stuttering or tearing on their monitors.”
In addition to this, Capcom announced its collaboration with AMD to use Mantle API for enhancing its ‘Panta-Rhei’ graphics engine. This will enable Capcom to enhanced gaming performance and visual quality for its upcoming game titles.
“Samsung and Capcom are strategic partners in helping us bring our revolutionary IP and technology to the homes and offices of consumers around the world,” said David Bennett, corporate vice president, AMD APJ.
AMD kicked off the ‘Future of Compute’ event with the announcement of a new high-performance processor codenamed “Carrizo” and a mainstream processor “Carrizo-L” to the company’s mobile Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) product roadmap.
Designed as a complete solution for consumers looking for the best performance in gaming and productivity applications, and enable UHD 4K experiences, these latest mobile APUs are scheduled to ship in the first half of 2015, with laptop and All-in-One systems expected to hit the market by mid 2015.
