HP plans to enable AMD FreeSync technology support for its consumer-focused HP Envy 15z laptops powered by 6th Generation AMD A-Series processors. AMD FreeSync technology resolves the communication issues between processor and monitor to eliminate stutter and tearing, providing a smoother image. HP anticipates having AMD FreeSync-enabled HP Envy 15z laptops available in the first half of 2016, and plans to enable AMD FreeSync support across its entire consumer laptop line-up powered by 6th Generation AMD A-Series processors (code-named Carrizo) in the second half of the year.

The laptop will support FreeSync directly through the panel and through an HDMI port. Additional specifications and pricing are not currently available. The current Envy 15z starts at $499.

Rival Nvidia offers a competing technology to FreeSync called G-Sync. FreeSync panels are already available in a few laptops like the Lenovo Y700, but the technology will reach many more machines later this year.

AMD's 6th Generation AMD PRO A-Series processors, which integrate extensive AMD CPU, graphics, security, and video processing IP into a single SoC design, will also power two new HP 600 series ProBooks - the HP ProBook 645 14-inch and HP ProBook 655 15.6-inch notebooks.
