Demystifying AMD VISION

Back in 2009 AMD introduced VISION. This is an attempt by AMD to make it easier to purchase a PC. There are several types of VISION, which I’ll cover in a moment.

The Help Me Choose is the best place to start to see what you get for specific VISION, but here’s a quick cheat-sheet:

VISION – Basic PC

VISION Premium – What most people would be shopping for with a computer. Powerful and speedy.

VISION Ultimate – For gamers.

VISION Black – The fastest bleeding-edge hardware you can get. For "hardcore" gamers.

Bear in mind VISION can be applied whether purchasing a pre-built or building your own.

If after reading it you say to yourself, "I think I could have figured that out on my own without AMD giving it a ‘friendly’ name", don’t be surprised. This VISION stuff is largely just an attempt by AMD to make their product line easier to understand.. even though it confused more than helped.
