what is HD 7310 & status of support on linux

[wardhan]

around a year ago i ahve purchased dell c850d-m5010 which contians HD 7310 [ EM1200GBB22GV ]

both the amd [ http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases...2012june5.aspx ] & wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors ] pages list it as a Brazos2.0.
i have read somewhere that it belongs to southern islands. [ forgive for my weak memory ].

i am completly new to cpu/gpu/apus.
where can i find more information about the chip ?

there is a lot of noise about linux amd drivers.
again, where can i find the information about the status & updates for linux. i mean i want to try new & latest kernels if any new features are added.

i am currently using open source drivers on debian sid.

thank you for reading my post patiently.

regards,
wardhan.

It is an Evergreen, and fully supported aside from GL 4.2. You have UVD video accel and power saving in current kernels.
