Is this also a Richland review?

I don't see the confusion.
Richland A10's have been with reviewers a while, we saw a preview only 2 weeks ago.
Just looks like they've used their data rather than done a proper Richland review (At least for the mean time, as the A10 6800K launch isn't yet, so it's likely we'll see it soon)

You over think way too much :p

Although the gains looks none existent.
Either way, it doesn't paint Richland A10's in a good light with the lack of IGP improvement, which I'm sure isn't the reality.

In which case Richland looks like an exact copy of Trinity, <0%> across the board, what is the point?
 
Richland is more about power consumption improvements and increased Turbo clockspeeds in lower TDP parts,especially the mobile parts.

The main improvements are an IGP which is reorganised for lower power consumption and additional logic in the chip which is better at balancing the thermal headroom and available power between the CPU and IGP better than Trinity. AFAIK,Richland debuts temperature dependent Turbo too for AMD.

Wikipedia already has the clockspeeds for the parts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Accelerated_Processing_Unit_microprocessors

Some of the mobile parts see big gains in clockspeeds for the IGP,and it looks like the 65W TDP A10-6700 will be quicker than the 100W TDP A10-5800K.

Edit!!

I will expect the A10-6700 to be ignored at launch like the A10-5700 was,and the latter was the best Trinity desktop part IMHO.

Right, I think I will wait for proper Richland reviews before drawing conclusions, TPU aren't making any sense with that A10-6800K listed in their 4770K review.

Makes you wonder, is that Richland data real? in not then WT_ are TPU playing at?

The A10 6800K only has a 44MHZ increase in IGP clockspeed over the A10 5800K,so the IGP should be not massively faster. OTH,as you go down the range you will notice bigger gains.

Many of the Richland parts also support faster RAM by default too,which should make a contribution too including one mobile part which supports 1866MHZ DDR3.

Anandtech forums are down now,but here are some A10 6700 scores in 3DMark courtesy of Google cache:

That looks better, The iGPU is 20 to 30% faster, that's actually pretty good.

The HD 4600 is also still some ~5 to 20% behind Trinity's iGPU so that's still AMD with a very clear lead.

But it has to be said, Iris is impressive, but is a massive DIE, its just shear brut force to push past AMD, it will be as expensive as it is huge.

does anyone know what card can be used in crossfire with the new richland apu's?

I don't know but Richland is Trinity with improvements so I would think it will CF with the same GPU, the 6670.

When the proper review come out we should know.
 
I'm really hoping it won't be long before we get reviews. And I have a suspision that crossfire will not be restricted to the 6670.
fingers crossed.
