Another card?

Boomstick777 · 29 May 2014 at 14:29

CPU?

*Updated OP with FX pic..

cheesyboy · 29 May 2014 at 14:36

Strewth, a surprise FX?!

That German forum guy says that FX pic was found in the thumbnails database file he links to.

Hope it's not an FM2+ FX. A dual-module FX would be disappointing.

snips86x · 29 May 2014 at 14:39

Well, with the FX brand on it, that would make sense :rolleyes:

Boomstick777 · 29 May 2014 at 14:39

Would love it if AMD had something competitive, been waiting a loooong time for AMD to do something. Hopefully a Rocky Style comeback just in time for Devil's Canyon launch.

Mantle final release?

I can't really see where they can go with AMD FX unless the architecture has been made massively more energy efficient, FX9590 is already ridiculously hot/power hungry/stressful to motherboards.

Let's hope for a miracle

they are taking all the stock of now redundant bulldozer cpu's and launching them straight into the sun

that made me giggle

DazQ87 · 29 May 2014 at 15:18

Whilst I would love it should it be some kind of Steamroller FX which could actually offer up some competition. I have a suspicion that it will probably be some kind of slightly higher clocked version of an APU or some ultra-low-power CPU.

It could be the launch of mobile Kaveri - there is a FX-7600P which rumours say exist:

Edit!!

Some noise is there that it might use HBM,which if true would be quite revolutionary.

OTH,I doubt it will happen.

Second Edit!!

Some people looked at the code on the webpage and it indicates that the product is an APU.

ubersonic · 29 May 2014 at 15:33

It's an APU (I listed the website contents then looked in the java file controlling the timer).

$(this).on('finish.countdown', function(event) {
$(this).addClass('hidden');
$(this).parent().html('<h1 class="countdownfinish">AMD\'s most advanced APU ever.<br />Welcome to Earth</h1>');

cheesyboy · 29 May 2014 at 15:36

But what APU is it?

It's a bit early for Carrizo, surely?

Smoogels · 29 May 2014 at 16:02

Hopefully a beefy APU which is capable of replacing the current FX series in CPU performance.

We can dream

stulid · 29 May 2014 at 16:11

My sources reveal nothing.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 29 May 2014 at 16:22

The name of the APU is linked to in my last post.

It is called the FX-7600P and is the first FX branded laptop APU.

It basically is a downclocked A10 7850K running at a 35W TDP instead of a 95W TDP,with 2.7GHZ to 3.6GHZ core clockspeed instead of 3.7GHZ to 4.0GHZ and a 512 shader IGP running at 600 to 666MHZ instead of 720MHZ.

However,ther FX-7600P can also use 2133MHZ DDR3 RAM,so it should not be far off an A10 7850K in lightly thread and IGP performance. The previous highest end AMD mobile CPU,the A10 5750M,had much lower clockspeeds for the IGP relative to the desktop version,so with the faster RAM,the IGP performance should be much better overall.

Over on overclock.net there are suggestions that HBM might be used,but I think it is unlikely IMHO.

How exactly does that make it AMD's most advanced APU ever :S

JonSmith · 29 May 2014 at 17:03

Well we saw how little difference there was between the 384 shader and 512 shader versions, so we might find that even with the lower clock speed the RAM is still a limiting factor in performance.
