AMD released a new video showing some more details regarding reference tablet designs based on the Temash APU and paired up with AMD Turbo Dock technology.


The video contains a live demonstration of two reference tablets aimed at business and multimedia-oriented market and provide insight to what we will expect once partners start to finally and hopefully fill the market with such devices. Both tablets use the same tablet with detachable keyboard design that should offer both great performance as well as standard tablet portability.


The business oriented tablet features a quad-core Temash APU with four Jaguar x86 CPU cores paired up with Radeon HD 7000 based GPU. The unique feature is exactly the AMD Turbo Dock that is practically a standard keyboard dock that not only expands a number of ports but also provides an active cooling system that cools the tablet thus allowing higher frequencies of the chip inside the tablet and more performance. Specification wise the Turbo Dock allows the APU to pull 15W instead of the 8W limit in tablet mode.


The second A6-based APU was used to demonstrate the GPU capabilities of the APU that actually can run Torchlight II game with around 25fps at 1920x1080 resolution which is definitely an impressive feat compared to the competition.


AMD already demonstrated these two tablet designs back at MWC 2013 in January but decided to provide more details with this new demonstration video.
