Richland APU Support RADEON HD 8000 CodeName: Sea Island

[BHD]

Trinity should last for quite some time and hold its ground in the desktop market throughout 2013, but of course, AMD is already working on a successor.

Richland A series APUs will feature up to four CPU cores, with dual and quad-variants, and they will support AMD Turbo Core, most likely a newer generation of the technology that ships with Trinity.

The graphics core of choice to be integrated is being called Radeon HD 8000 series, something that comes from Sea Islands generation, but we don’t have much more details about it. We do know it’s a DirectX 11 GPU core 128 cores for dual-core APUs and 384 cores for the top unlocked quad-core SKU.

The APUs will also support dual-graphics with some discrete solutions, but more details will get revealed closed to launch, at some point in late Q2 2013, if all goes as planned.

It is not clear if Richland uses Pilediver or new Steamroller cores for its CPUs. The rest of the specs include support for DDR3 1866 and a support for FM2 socket and launch in 2013, before the end of Q2 2013. This CPU has to put up a fight with Haswell, a second generation 22nm design from Intel that reportedly has much better graphics than the current Ivy Bridge.

Maybe FUD should attend Analyst Days or at least read the press releases or transcripts?
Kaveri is the 2013 APU,it will have 512SPs and will have 3rd gen Bulldozer core codenamed Steamroller. AMD stated SR core brings "more IPC and more parallelism". More IPC statement is versus a 2012 PD core which will also bring IPC and clock improvements over 1st gen Bulldozer we have now.

FudZilla? The thread can be closed now.

To be fair, they sometimes have good news (rumors). Fuad does have a few industry connections.

[BHD]

For What Close Now ?

Good News.

[BeepBeep2]

Why does fud keep saying "Richland"? Should be saying "Kaveri"

[informal]

Because FUDo is clueless 99% of the time.

[SKYMTL]

It's been a slow two months in news. He's gotta do something to drive up traffic.

[defect9]

Will the 9000 series will be named Pen Island?

[Mechromancer]

I won't buy until the GPUs are OVER 9000!!!!!

lol im confuzid...


edit: ok checked wiki...

Virgo is desktop trinity (piledriver* cores)
Comal is mobile trinity (piledriver cores)



heres a slide i found from fusion 2012



kabini looks cool with 4 jaguar cores...be cool to see them in an asus transformer or that comal hybrid prototype

---------------
edit:
kaveri is more correctly rumored to have 512 GCN and an ARM cortex A5 core for HSA and it will fit into FM2!!! woohoo!

So much this. I don't know if it used to be a rule here or just done as courtesy, but people used to put [FUD] in their thread title as to inform the potential reader of the source of the headline. It made it so much easier to skip over the garbage.

[BeepBeep2]

Wasn't because of the source...

"Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt"

[Tao~]

With just 384 GCN cores Intel may as well take the graphics lead if Haswell has the predicted 2x EU over IVB. This SHOULD NOT be true.

so richland is desktop kaveri (steamroller cores)

Fudo's false news says plainly: "Richland 28nm APU" and "Trinity successor in 2013".
But Richland is not a 28nm APU, nor any Trinity successor, nor (as you said) "desktop kaveri".
Of course Richland is an APU but it is ... A4 Trinity, LOL
