AMD has long suffered the wrath of laptop users for cluttering up valuable wrist-rest space with little poorly-made stickers touting “AMD Turion” or “Athlon”, similar to the classic “Intel Inside” stickers of yesterday. They’ve now realized the error of their ways and have decided to remove that style of branding, and replaced it with a new branding based on the hardware’s capabilities rather than the actual version.. And they made new stickers for it.
Vision breaks systems into three tiers—Vision, Vision Premium and Vision Ultimate. The basic Vision is for simple tasks (that of your netbook, ultrathin notebook or basic mainstream system). The Premium is one step up the computing ladder and has Direct X 10.1 and HD support amongst other things. On the top is Ultimate which can work video encoding and HD video editing. Now my first question was how the hell is Joe Schmo supposed to know the difference between these levels on a system any better than they know a processor name?
