AMD "CORE"?

Maybe advertising for the upcoming 'new' A10 7800 APU?

Looks like a locked 7850K?

If not maybe a release for the A8 7600 announced last year?

You read some of the comments? Lol

This advertising campaign is nothing short of cringe worthy, just hurry up with K12 and stop making people hate you.

Pretty damn good promo of nothing

Another AMD promo video about absolutely nothing

Boomstick777 · 17 Jul 2014 at 23:12

Noticed in the first video the white dudes represent CPU cores and the red dudes represent GPU cores.

In the new video, the main dude is both white and red, so maybe this is a visual representation of a more unified APU, CPU+GPU.

After the past few AMD promotions, ('New' FX 9590 basically same CPU with water cooler, and the exciting laptop APU from space) I am expecting it to be disappointing anyway..

Best guess is APU A10 7800K and A8 7600. Would love it to be something better, but have learnt to keep expectations low now lol.

i think they did just release a new 16core opteron!?
not exactly mainstream tho

I wonder if it has to do with them moving back to full blown 'cores' and ditching the module design?

Or maybe HUMA?

That was my thought but AMD have always referred to their 4 module architecture as '8 core' anyway so who knows, perhaps now that modules are a certified failure AMD are happy to acknowledge them.

This is definitely not going to be anything interesting. Kaveri SKUs for sure.

A super dooper clocked 9590? Consuming 300w tdp? Named 10590 sfx?

They are doing it again

pandem0nium · 24 Jul 2014 at 21:57

Well an evolution of steamroller would be excavator, but seems a bit soon for that. I hope they add some l3 cache to the apus.

McstylisT · 24 Jul 2014 at 22:01

These wont be cheap either ,,,, going by the opening pricing on the current APU's

Mal X · 24 Jul 2014 at 22:47

they're developing a 16 core cpu .... close to finish, with another one in development with 24 cores, but these will probably still be slower than my old i5

4 CPU + 8 compute cores, so it's probably an A10-7800

pandem0nium · 25 Jul 2014 at 12:11

In the first video though, there were four white 'cores' which were cpu cores. So 12 white cores in the truck image should be 12 cpu cores.

God I hope not, AMD's biggest issue right now is that their loading too many cores onto their CPU's and not concentrating on IPC like they should be.

If it is a 12 core CPU it will probably be clocked at 2.5GHz and have close to the same IPC as Sandy Bridge, if that

IPC same as Sandy? Nothing that AMD bring out during this period of time will be Sandybridge IPC.

Doogles · 25 Jul 2014 at 12:40

Is it just me or do all AMD advertisements feel cheap? Instead of doing these "teasers" why not just come out and say what the product is?

yes exactly..... it only needs to be as good as a sandy or ivy, but it's 50% slower

you might not see an AMD with Ivy bridge performance till early 2016

Well their last FX chips were Core2 IPC and their last APU's were first gen i7 IPC so Sandy is the next hurdle for them to aim for /shrug.
