News

A6-3670K and A8-3870K surfaced in AMD product database

Dec 20, 2011: Last Friday Turkish site Donanimhaber published a few slides, one of which revealed release date and official prices of A6-3670K and A8-3870K Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). Two processors will be launched on December 26, priced at $115 for A6 model, and $135 for A8 model. AMD today added specifications of these processors to their product database, thus confirming imminent release of both CPUs.

AMD quietly releases new mobile Llano CPUs

Dec 07, 2011: Current AMD mobile "Sabine" platform was launched in June of this year, and, as we reported in October, was due for refresh this quarter. Today AMD quietly added details on seven new SKUs to Sabine platform specifications, and to notebook APU product information pages. That usually means that processors are either officially released, or will be released within days. Newly introduced A-Series microprocessors are a mix of dual-core and quad-core models, targeting either higher performance on "MX" chips, or power consumption on "M" parts.

New mobile AMD APUs sighted

Oct 25, 2011: One month ago user "Konrad" in 3DCenter forum posted several slides from AMD mobile roadmap. The slides included details of AMD mobile platforms until the end of 2012. Also, the slides revealed AMD plans to refresh current Sabine platform later this year with seven new "Llano" Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). New processors are A4-3305M, A4-3320M, A4-3330MX, A6-3420M, A6-3430MX, A8-3520M, and A8-3550MX. All these models appeared in recently revised PDF file on HP website.

New AMD A-Series mobile APUs sighted

Sep 07, 2011: Current generation of mobile AMD Accelerated Processing units (APUs) was launched in June of this year. The initial line-up was comprised of 8 dual- and quad-core microprocessors from E2- and A-Series, including 4 models with averaged maximum power 35 Watt. No additional models were released or announced (or sighted) since then. In August, Hewlett Packard updated "Maintenance and Service Guide" for HP Pavilion g7 line of notebooks, and added three new A-Series model numbers, A4-3320M, A6-3420M and A8-3520M.

Posted by: anazhd

Turbo Frequency can be up to 3.0Ghz without any overheating and error such as blue screen. This is fascinating and quite good option for low price notebook processor with a medium range spec.
