BSN notes that AMD PR is questioning the availability of Nvidia's Kepler class GPUs.

"With so many product launches happening in the last few weeks, we felt you’d find it useful to have a look at this recap of some of the benefits of our current AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 series graphics products. Both the AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 and AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 graphics cards are available in volume from all major etailers, with plenty of overclocked and AMD Eyefinity Technology designs from our AIBs. The AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 is available for as low as $479, while the AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 is available for as low as $399. We expect to continue to have strong supply on all of our 28nm GPUs going forward. In contrast,both GTX 680 and GTX 690 have not been supplied in any significant volume and continue to be unavailable at major stores like Newegg in the US and Alternate Europe (as of noon, Wednesday May 8th).

The Austin American Statesman details AMD's upcoming Trinity APU.  

Su said AMD is going through a cultural change.

"We don't want to be dictated to by what Intel is doing. We shouldn't want to be second-best. That is not that much fun," she said. "We are one of the leading companies in the industry. We have excellent technology. We have the capability to be a leader in where the market is going versus just trying to gain a couple of (market share) points on somebody else.

Anand talks to AMD's Manju Hegde who I talked to years ago at E3 when Ageia was just getting PhysX off of the ground.

That brings us to today. In advance of this year’s AFDS, Manju has agreed to directly answer your questions about heterogeneous compute, where the industry is headed and anything else AMD will be covering at AFDS. Manju has a BS in Electrical Engineering (IIT, Bombay) and a PhD in Computer Information and Control Engineering (UMich, Ann Arbor) so make the questions as tough as you can. He'll be answering them on May 21st so keep the submissions coming.

Get those questions in guys!

Semi Accurate has a story with video of AMD's demo of Leo and GDC.

The GPU compute portion of Leo is fairly simple to explain, as you can see in the video below. Lights are one of the most complex parts of a 3D scene to render properly, and various techniques have evolved to allow complex lighting to, well, basically work. Some work better than others, but most are computationally painful, or have other rather serious drawbacks like deferred rendering.

CPU World points out some graphics numbers for the upcoming AMD Trinity core R-Series.  At 35 watts they seem to outpace Intel's intergrated video but substantial amounts.

The graph shows that AMD R-464L has 106%, and R-272F has 45% better performance than Intel i7-2710QE embedded chip in 3DMark 06 and Vantage v1.1.0 applications. Core i7-2710QE incorporates HD 3000 graphics, which is noticeably slower than HD 4000 GPU on Ivy Bridge line of processors. Nevertheless, if the benchmark results in the PDF file are correct, then AMD R-464L may still be faster in graphics applications than Core i7-3612QE, which is an Ivy Bridge successor of the i7-2710QE.
