Last month, AMD launched Athlon X4 860K, the first GPU-less
"Kaveri" microprocessor for socket FM2+. The chip comes with 4
"Steamroller" cores and disabled on-die GPU, while the rest of its
features are identical to the A10-7850K APU. Another GPU-less processor,
an FX-770K, has recently become available in HP Pavilion 500-422nl desktop computers,
sold
in Europe. Based on known characteristics, the FX-770K is similar
to the A10-7800 APU, but lacks on-chip graphics, and has a clock multiplier unlocked. [Full story]

More details on Skylake GT1, GT2 and GT3e graphics
In June, we published some details of a graphics unit, integrated
into future Skylake microprocessors. According to that report, Skylake
chips will come with GT2, GT3e or GT4e GPUs, built on 9th generation
graphics architecture, and "e" units will be coupled with up to 128 MB of
eDRAM memory for extra performance. The GT4e GPU, obviously, is the
fastest one, and it will be accompanied by 64MB embedded DRAM on quad-core LGA1151
CPUs, or 128 MB eDRAM on "H" line of BGA processors. GT4e graphics will utilize
72 execution units (EUs), that is 50% more than the
best Broadwell GPU, which has 48 EUs. [Full story]

Preliminary Skylake mobile SKU lineup
In June, we published an article, describing features of unreleased
Skylake mobile processors. Similar to Haswell and Broadwell-based
chips, Skylake products will be available as "H" performance CPUs, "U"
ULV systems on a chip for ultrabooks and thin-and-light notebooks, and
"Y" extremely low power SoCs for fanless mobile devices, such as
tablets and hybrid computers. Within each category, Intel plans from 4
to up to about 15 SKUs, that will differ by the number of cores,
frequency, cache size, graphics type, Vpro support and Thermal Design Power. [Full story]

Intel expands Atom E3800 embedded family
This month, Intel quietly launched "Bay Trail"-based Atom E3805
system-on-a-chip for embedded market. Current generation of Atom E3800
series SoCs, codenamed Bay Trail-I, consists of E3815,
E3825, E3826, E3827 and E3845 SKUs. The processors are manufactured on
22nm technology, and integrate from 1 to 4 cores depending on SKU, 7th
generation HD graphics, DDR3 memory controller, and chipset logic.
The embedded Atoms boast ultra low power consumption, ranging from 5 Watt to 10 Watt. [Full story]
New CPUs: Intel Atom E3805 AMD prepares to launch next generation of mobile Accelerated
Processing Units, codenamed Carrizo.
According
to Digitimes, current Kabini and Beema low power systems-on-a chip
will be succeeded with "Carrizo-L" APUs, that will be positioned
against Intel Celeron and Pentium entry-level CPUs for notebooks. AMD
also plans to replace current mobile Kaveri products with quad-core
"Carrizo" APUs. [Full story]
Intel introduced Broadwell microarchitecture and first "Y" series
Broadwell processors last month. Branded as Core M, the "Y" products
have 2 CPU cores, greatly improved graphics unit, and extremely low
power consumption, which allows the chips to be used in fanless mobile
devices. More Broadwell microprocessors, this time from "U" series and
with higher 15 Watt TDP, will be available in the first quarter of
2015. Based on slides, posted by
VR-Zone Chinese Edition,
Intel plans 17 new processors. [Full story]
New CPUs: Intel Celeron 3205U, Intel Celeron 3755U, Intel Pentium 3805U, Intel Core i3-5005U, Intel Core i3-5010U, Intel Core i3-5157U, Intel Core i5-5200U, Intel Core i5-5250U, Intel Core i5-5257U, Intel Core i5-5287U, Intel Core i5-5300U, Intel Core i5-5350U, Intel Core i7-5500U, Intel Core i7-5550U, Intel Core i7-5557U, Intel Core i7-5600U, Intel Core i7-5650U Oct 02, 2014
AMD releases FX-8310 CPU for socket AM3+
In September, AMD refreshed FX-Series line of high performance
CPUs for socket AM3+ platform. The company officially announced three
SKUs, including new flagship FX-8370, and two energy efficient
microprocessors, FX-8320E and FX-8370E. Some pre-launch reports also
mentioned FX-8310 model, that was apparently a bit faster version of
the FX-8300. Specifications of this processor has been recently
published by AMD, which confirmed that it was also released in
September. [Full story]
New CPUs: AMD FX-8310 AMD prepares two new processors for socket AM1 platform. Currently,
there are four dual- and quad-core Accelerated Processing Units for the socket.
All of them are based on low power Kabini core, that integrates CPU
cores, a memory controller, graphics and Fusion Controller Hub on a
chip. According to
MSI and
ASRock
CPU support lists, AMD now plans two GPU-less versions of Kabini
processors. The CPUs will be branded as Athlon X4, and they will have
model numbers 530 and 550. [Full story]

New Xeon E5-1600 v3 and E5-2600 v3 CPUs spotted
Earlier this month, Intel introduced first Haswell based Xeon
microprocessors, codenamed Haswell-EP, for single- and dual-socket
servers and workstations. The Xeon chips featured better performance
per clock, more cores and cache, and support for DDR4 memory, while
staying within same power limits as the previous generation of
E5-1600 and E5-2600 processors. Additionally, the Haswell-EP lineup
was expanded to include models, optimized for specific market segments. [Full story]
NVidia launched the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards. Based on the Maxwell architecture, first seen with the release of the GeForce GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti for the lower end of the mainstream market in February of this year, they introduce the GM204 GPU for the enthusiast market. The GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards replace the GTX 780 and GTX 770 SKUs in the enthusiast and mainstream markets. [Full story]

Intel discloses details of Xeon D processors
Last week at the IDF event in San Francisco, Intel revealed some
details of upcoming Xeon products for cloud and dense data center
environments. The processors will be branded as Xeon D. Formerly
codenamed as BDW-DE, new server microprocessors will be implemented as
systems-on-a-chip (SoC), integrating "Broadwell" CPU cores and a
handful of I/O interfaces, including 10GB Ethernet. The Xeon Ds
will be capable to run 64-bit applications, and support ECC memory.
The processors are sampling now, and more information about them will
be available later this year. [Full story]

Some Xeon E5-2600 v3 CPUs to support DDR3 memory
Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors debuted this week, and they came with several new performance, energy efficiency and security features.
One of the new features is support for DDR4 memory, that, according to Intel, helped to increase maximum memory bandwidth by up 1.4 times over the previous generation of Xeons. The DDR4 memory, while faster, is also more expensive, and for more budget conscious business clients Intel also prepared several Xeon E5 CPUs that support more common DDR3 memory. [Full story]
