AMD cuts prices of desktop CPUs

May 01, 2013: Earlier this week AMD announced new processors, expanding the line of high-end FX CPUs with quad-core FX-4350 and six-core FX-6350. It's not uncommon for AMD to lower prices when launching new products, and this time it was not an exception. Based on the latest official AMD price list, the company cut prices of ten A-Series and FX-Series chips by as much as 19%.

AMD cuts prices on A-Series APUs and FX CPUs

Apr 27, 2012: A few days after announcement of Intel's Ivy Bridge micro-architecture, many news sites reported that some European retailers slashed prices of FX-8150 processors by 15% - 20%, and suggested that AMD may have dropped the prices of other processors as well. Today AMD published new pricelist, confirming price drop for the FX-8150 model. The company also cut prices of six- and quad-core FX-Series chips, and for all microprocessors from A-Series.

AMD E2-3200 is shipped in HP PCs, New Llano core revision

Oct 21, 2011: Initial line-up of budget AMD microprocessors with Llano core consisted of seven A- and E2-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). A-Series models were introduced in the third quarter 2011, although A6-3600 and A8-3800 processors are still not in stock anywhere. Another APU, dual-core E2-Series E2-3200, was planned for the 4th quarter, and at this time it's nowhere to be found.

AMD launches A-Series and the first 32nm Athlon II X4 CPUs

Aug 17, 2011: Earlier this month, we reported on pre-order prices of several forthcoming AMD A-series and Athlon II X4 microprocessors, built on new 32nm Llano core. Based on these prices, we projected that the A6-3600 and A8-3800 APUs will cost the same as A6-3650 and A8-3850 models, or very close to them. We also estimated $90 - $100 price for triple-core A6-3500, and $80 - $90 range for the Athlon II X4 631. AMD today added these processors to official pricelist, and the prices are slightly better than we estimated.

Pre-order prices of upcoming Llano processors

Aug 08, 2011: Launched one month ago, AMD A-Series currently consists of two Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), A8-3850 and A6-3650. Both microprocessors have fixed core frequency, 2.9 GHz and 2.6 GHz respectively, and 100 Watt TDP. This quarter, AMD is going to introduce several additional A4-, A6- and A8-Series SKUs.

Launch dates of AMD E2- and A-Series desktop CPUs

Jun 29, 2011: MSI recently published a marketing document, titled "MSI A75-Series Mainboards". Besides specifications of four upcoming MSI socket FM1 motherboards, that will be launched in the third quarter 2011, the document also provides AMD APU roadmap with approximate launch dates of desktop Llano microprocessors.

Llano desktop CPUs to launch on June 30

Jun 27, 2011: Fudzilla reported today that desktop Llano microprocessors will be launched on Thursday, June 30 (see correction below). Last weekend, first ASUS F1A75-M PRO, F1A75-V PRO, Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H and GA-A75-UD4H socket FM1 mainboards appeared in stock of smaller internet stores. The prices are starting from about $110 for ASUS F1A75-M PRO and Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H micro-ATX boards, and up to $125 - $130 for ASUS F1A75-V PRO and GA-A75-UD4H ATX motherboards. The desktop Llano processors are not available for sale in US yet, although two of them, A6-3650 and A8-3850, can be pre-ordered for $120+ and $142+, respectively.

E2- and A-Series desktop APU line-up revealed

Jun 13, 2011: Last Friday, DonanimHaber published updated line-up from soon to be released A-Series and E2-Series desktop APUs. The new line-up includes 5 A-Series microprocessors with 2 and 4 CPU cores, and one budget dual-core E2-3200 model. All upcoming chips use "Llano" core, that merges 32nm version of K10 CPU with high-performance graphics engine. The newly-available specifications are close to A- and E2-Series specs, that appeared in March of this year. The final line-up uses different model numbers, and there are minor changes in the size of L2 cache and DDR3 memory support for the A4-3400 model.
