AMD Launches Three Kaveri APU SKUs in February 2014 – Feature Set For A10 and A8 APUs Detailed

No, I didn't.

Back in 2012 when the Trinity previews came about, you saw a result, and the next minute you were claiming 25% improvements clock for clock.

You said literally the same thing just there, so I made a tongue in cheek comment.

End of.

Wait what? i'm talking a review in this post, your talking about something completely unrelated from more than a year ago?

Even if that was true.

You said "I believe I talked about this optimism in 2012"

This is not what i did here, is it?
 
If the CPU part really does have that much of a boost, would be a crime not to release a full fat desktop non IGPU, 8 core, SR part :p

So far Kaveri looks like it could be very nice indeed..

The 7800 is a (65w) part, this could mean that the GPU does not clock as high, if the APU has some sort of turbo and (720mhz) is base clock. If that is the case with the (65w) beating the 6800K slightly in GPU performance, it could mean the top part 7850K might have a significant advantage over the 6800K in GPU performance as well as CPU performance.

Looking forward to legit reviews.

The 65w A10-7800 is a locked part, it will not overclock at all.

The 95w A10-7850 is unlocked, that will overclock. :)
 
I haven't played with richland or trinity, obviously not even Kaveri, But you sure that they will not overclock at all with a locked multi.

I maybe wrong but thought you can clock them using ht ref like the old athlon x2/x4 on the am2+/am3. Just you have to play with the multi for the ram divider and the nb, also limited by the max multi of the particular cpu and the ht ref will be capped to about 136 ish due to the igp being pushed too?
 
^^ Yeah that 65w probably has less GPU performance than the top part the 7850K, this was my point.. As a lot of people are disappointment when compared to 6800K in terms of GPU performance gain.. I think the 7850K will have a nice step up in GPU performance.. Hopefully some more reliable info will be leaked soon. CES 2014 not long now..

On Intel you can change the IGP multi when you're messing with the straps, I'd be surprised if you can't do the same thing with AMD.
 
Yeah as haven't played with richland or trinity I wouldn't def know, with Llano you just adjusted the p-states using k10stat.

But I have a feeling the ht ref is the base reference for the igp, I could be wrong though.
 
It might have limited overclocking via the HT-Link, i have not had a locked AMD CPU for a very long time but if i remember rightly my old Athlon x2 could be overclocked with the HT-Link, (FSB in Intel terminology) its how i'm overclocking my Bloomfield, the difference is my Memory Multiplier and QPI-Link is also unlocked.

I doubt it is with these, you might get +200Mhz out of them.
 
Or the 28nm process is a pooper and you'll hit a brick wall at 4.1 ghz ;)
Ooh sorry i'm so negative with Amd these days, must be too many years of disapointments.
