AMD announced a new line of APUs at their their Future of Compute event in Singapore, the Carrizo. The hardware’s been optimised for low power usage, making it perfect for powering laptops.

While laptop users may find that interesting, what really caught my interest from that piece of news was in the last bits of it:

"AMD also announced a partnership with Samsung who will make sure all their monitors from 2015 will support AMD’s Freesync technology standard".

Further inverstigation reveals that this sentence is wrong. Samsung will adopt Freesync with its new 4K displays (4 of them in Q1 2015) with plans also use with with the rest of UHD monitors, as it is better explained over at Guru3D

Also on that piece of news, it is revealed that Capcom will cooperate with AMD to bring Mantle to its current engine, Panta-Rhei.
