AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced that its AMD Z-60 accelerated processing unit (APU) powers the new Fujitsu STYLISTIC® Q572 10.1” tablet, providing quality and performance to professionals on the move. The combination of processor and system design provides users with portability, Windows® compatibility and security in one tablet device. With impressive performance at low power, the AMD Z-60 APU supports unique Fujitsu features like an integrated Smart Card reader and removable battery.

Supporting a rich Windows 8 or Windows 7 experience with its AMD Radeon™ graphics, the AMD Z-60 APU enables the ability to run the full suite of legacy PC applications while supporting the most visually demanding programs. A suite of enterprise-friendly features such as the trusted platform module (TPM) and hardware-based disk encryption are also supported by the AMD Z-60 APU. The STYLISTIC Q572’s lightweight (approximately 1.6-pounds) design and impressive feature-set make it an ideal match for the mobile workforce.

“As a leading provider of Windows-based tablets, Fujitsu knows exactly what features and capabilities our customers demand in their systems,” said Paul Moore, vice president, PC Product Marketing and Product Development, Fujitsu America. “The AMD Z-60 APU delivers on those expectations and helps Fujitsu deliver a differentiated product into the upcoming Windows 8 tablet marketplace.”

AMD’s processors provide high-quality experiences for both consumers and commercial workers with high-definition entertainment, advanced multitasking performance and power-saving innovations. The APU combines high-performance serial and parallel processing cores enabling breakthroughs in visual computing, security, performance-per-watt and device form factor.
