Not so Extreme AMD AM1 (AMD?s FS1b socket to get new chips and a rebrand - VR Zone)

[KiSUAN]

According to information obtained by VR-Zone, AMD will be releasing an APU on the FS1b socket in March that will use the Jaguar core. This means the APU will be approximately 10 percent faster than Bobcat based chips, however because of limitations of the socket only 64-bit DDR3 memory will be supported.

While the new APU being launched on the FS1b socket will have a GCN architecture core, it is understood at this time that it will only support DirectX 11.1 and not 11.2.

As seen below, three APUs are expected: a quad-core A4-5350, A4-3850 and a dual-core E1-2650. The TDP for these chips will be 25W.

Lunch for these CPUs it's supposed to be the 26 of Febuary.

Also some AM1 mothers from Asrock I come across recently...

why 4 cored ones and 2 core one has the same tpd

[KiSUAN]

I updated with what seems more detailed and accurate info from hardware.info, some of that info seems to be pulled out of this:

[~CS~]

I'm guessing the power Spec is set to 25W for binning purposes. The boards are adorable. What are they going to cost without having any chipsets, $20-$30?

[KiSUAN]

I know the FOB prices for my region, but guessing, in USA from 25 to 35.

Single channel RAM for an APU doesn't sound great.

Single channel RAM for an APU doesn't sound great.

For 128 SP's @ max 600mhz? Thats equal bandwidth to a lot of discretes, and better than most a10/a8 APU's.

Depends what you are doing with it really. Single channel on the wee little E-350 is sufficient for a daily driver/HTPC (1080p+) no problem.

being jaguar cores would that make them faster than the a6 BD 2 module parts that have the same clock speed.

[EniGmA1987]

^^^^Doubt it. Jaguar is not a fast core at all
