Puma is a low-power SoC microarchitecture by AMD. It succeeds Jaguar, targets the same market and belongs to the same AMD architecture family 16h. The Beema line of Jaguars processors are aimed at low-power notebooks, and Mullins are targeting the tablet sector.

Design

The Puma cores use the same microarchitecture as Jaguar, and inherits the design:

Out-of-order execution and Speculative execution, up to 4 CPU cores
Puma does not feature clustered multi-thread (CMT), meaning that there are no "modules"
Two-way integer execution
Two-way 128-bit wide floating-point and packed integer execution
Integer hardware divider
Puma does not feature Heterogeneous System Architecture or zero-copy^[2]
32 KiB instruction + 32 KiB data L1 cache per core
1-2 MiB unified L2 cache shared by two or four cores
Integrated single channel memory controller supporting 64bit DDR3L
3.1 mm² area per core
as a SoC (not just an APU) it integrates Fusion controller hub with following components: ??? MISSING ???

Instruction set support

Like Jaguar, the Puma core has support for the following instruction sets and instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4a, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, F16C, CLMUL, AES, BMI1, MOVBE (Move Big-Endian instruction), XSAVE/XSAVEOPT, ABM (POPCNT/LZCNT), and AMD-V.^[1]

¹ Unified shaders : Texture mapping units : Render output units
² To feed more than two displays, the additional panels must have native DisplayPort support.^[10] Alternatively active DisplayPort-to-DVI/HDMI/VGA adapters can be employed

Improvements over Jaguar

19% CPU core leakage reduction at 1.2V^[11]
38% GPU leakage reduction
500 mW reduction in memory controller power
200 mW reduction in display interface power
Chassis temperature aware turbo boost^[12]
Selective boosting according to application needs (intelligent boost)
Support for ARM TrustZone via integrated Cortex-A5 processor
Support for DDR3L-1866 memory^[13]
