Last I checked, AMD no longer lists Kabini as HSA compatible[1]. So I would avoid buying Kabini for HSA. The Kabini/Temash successors Beema/Mullins however seem to support HSA in some form.

Could anyone explain this to me? I'm wondering what is the cheapest APU to take advantage of HSA on Linux.Last edited by Kivada; 11 July 2014, 12:45 PM.

About the "lower level components", the JPEG decoder library is precisely one such thing.

And when's the official DDR4 launch? I heard it was 'real soon now', but it's been like that for a couple years now. Coincidentally, about as long as the DDR3 price inflation occured.
EDIT: Oh, and I think 'dynamic' instead of 'uncivilised' will will get you a few less scowls from the Muhrican's =D
But Intel was demoing allot of X99 chipset systems from just about every big name mobo maker and all the memory manufacturers where showing off their DDR4 kit at Computex.
There was rumor that AMD and Hynix whjere working to get a JEDEC standard for GDDR5M DIMMs
I am a 'Murican, let em scowl, I lived in one of the better states till the tea baggers took it over...
Heres some Comutex vids with DDR4 kit. Though I really want to see some AMD APU mobos with the isolated onboard audio hardware and audio quality capacitors to get better sound out of the mobo for HTPC systems.

Offloading JPEG decoding is one example that can benefit even users that do only web browsing, and yes, the reduced CPU load will lead to lower power consumption.
Thanks for the link though.Last edited by Bucic; 11 July 2014, 11:47 AM.

I don't think I'll buy one just to get the benefits of HSA. It's not like I do anything more than browsing on my A4 APU. But the patches may bring lower power draw even in general use scenarios, am I right?
