HSA 1.0 is supported to easily run code on CPU and GPU cores together. Furthermore, the shaders can be used with Mantle, OpenGL and OpenCL.

Therefore, it offers DirectX 12 (FL 12_0) hardware support and advanced color compression that leads to 5-7% improvement in games. The Radeon R6 is using the third generation GCN architecture (sometimes also called GCN 1.2) similar to the desktop Tonga chip. Depending on the configured TDP (ranging from 12 to 35 Watt) and used main memory (up to DDR3-2133 in dual channel mode supported) the performance can differ greatly. At launch in mid 2015 the R6 was used in the AMD A10-8700P and A8-8600P with 384 GCN shaders and 720 resp. The AMD Radeon R6 (Carrizo) is an integrated graphics card in the low-end Carrizo APUs.
