[Article] AMD Kaveri APUs Launch Today!

[HWZ Editorial]

AMD has officially launched the successor to their popular Trinity and Richland desktop APUs - the Kaveri APU. Boasting a graphics engine derived from the Radeon R9 290 series Hawaii core, as well as advanced in its HSA architecture, Kaveri is stepping into uncharted territory.

a curious qns,

could u let us know, this 7850K APU can pair with which gpu for hybrid xfire setup?

 

[Jian19]

My guess is 7750 or 7770

I am keen to assemble one small PC based on this platform. All in one.

No results NO tok

I would like to hear they move to 28nm to cut down on power consumption... that's integral to most applications in the mobile space.... and even desktop.

Time to wait for it to come to singapore

 

[kicknikuku]

Will I be able to play games at upwards of 30fps at full HD?

Gonna build one htpc and if it can do the above I don't need a dedicated GPU.

I am allergic to marketing speak.
What I want to see:
1) Real Benchmark compared to a few Intel lines and the AMD Previous Gen
2) TDP Power Consumption

Nice , might be able to make a small form factor and low profile htpc/console(steam OS) unit out of it catering for 1080p displays(TV).

 

[MoneyFace =p]

All the % gimmick again...

But i'd like to see how all the new HSA features will value-add to APU for real life typical usage which constitute the main workload by mass casual users aimed for these APUs.

Wait till they really proven to solve the power issue with Kaveri...

SuperPI or wPrime??

SuperPI or wPrime??

SuperPI doesn't reflect real workloads...
I don't care which number is the 23342342525 decimal in the value of PI.
Neither do I care about the 43252545345 Prime Number
I want GNU Compiler compile Linux Kernel Benchmark.
