Althought, Richland should be based on newer node version than the Trinity parts currently available in retail.

Still Richland is a good mid-life update to Trinity.
cTDP especially is a very nice feature for low power desktop and mobile purposes.
Also the fact that Richland officially supports 8-banks (four double sided DRAM modules) at DDR-1866 is a nice feature too.
The memory controller has been calibrated for high load rather than high clock on Richland.
what newer node ?
the cpu-z all say 32nm in the reviews.
