AMD Launches Enthusiast A10-7860K APU, New Mainstream CPUs and Wraith Cooler (hothardware.com) $0.32/Mbps IP Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 02, 2016 @10:52AM from the but-I-already-have-a-computer dept. MojoKid writes: AMD apparently wasn't done making announcements back at CES 2016. Today the company has Transit shared news of new APUs, processors, fansink coolers, and motherboard updates. The company has been working IPv6+IPv4 and BGP For Your with motherboard makers to enable a new wave of socket AM3+ and FM2+ motherboards with support for Network in North America and technologies like USB 3.1 (some with type-C and M.2 solid state drives (SSDs). Many of the updated motherboards are already available. AMD also has a trio of new APUs / processors coming down the pipe --the A10-7860K, the A6- Europe 7470K, and the Athlon X4 845. The Athlon X4 845 is a quad-core part, featuring four Excavator-class cores clocked at up to 3.8GHz. The processor has 2MB of L2 cache, 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes, and a TDP of 65W, but no built-in graphics. The A6-7470K is a dual Steamroller-core APU (clocked at up to 4GHz), with 8 GPU cores (at up to 800MHz), 1MB of L2 cache, 16 PCIe lanes, and a 65W TDP. The A10-7860K is a little beefier with four Steamroller cores (clocked up to 4GHz), with 8 GPU cores (clocked up to 757MHz), 1MB of L2 cache, 16 PCIe lanes, and a 65W TDP. Both the 7860K and 7470K are unlocked for more flexible overclocking. Finally, the FX-8370 bundled with AMD's new Wraith cooler will be arriving today at the same price point as the previous edition. According to AMD, the Wraith cooler offers 24% more surface area than the previous PIB cooler and the fan pushes 34% more air. amd hardware upgrades

A6=2cores+8gpucores/2 Perfect sense. GPU cores are worth 1/2 of each CPU core. Also A4+A8=7860K-7470K+A10=666.

That Athlon is a rebranded version of "Carrizo" that technically launched last year as a soldered-on mobile only part. It's available in a relatively small selection of notebooks but hasn't taken the market by storm. Anyway, the Athlon part is just Carrizo put into a socket instead of being soldered to a board. Since Carrizo was only a mobile part designed for low- end systems, it never had 16 full lanes of PCIe connectivity to begin with.

Re: (Score:2) by jellomizer (103300) AMD had a brief period of success in the x86 market in the early 2000's Until between the Pentium 4 and the Intel Core 2. Where people actually wanted AMD Chips not as a chip ripoff of Intel Chips, but because they were a serious competition with many good features that were valued by end use desktop users.
Re: (Score:2) by gstoddart (321705) AMD still make machines that people actually use (I'm running an FX-8320E eight core now, and for my needs it's a great CPU). I'll also point out that x64 was created by AMD. It's a little bit on the bullshit side to claim they had a "brief period of success in the early 2000's" ... they're still a company with multi-billion dollar revenues. They're doing just fine.
Re: (Score:2) by CajunArson (465943) They're doing just fine. And you called out the parent for bullshit? Oh wait, you said the parent had a little bullshit, so I guess you went for the full monty. Even if Zen actually does what it is supposed to do, there's a very real possibility that AMD won't exist after 2019 when their crippling bond obligations come due. Anybody who has seen AMD's financials with 6% and 7% interest rates on notes that were issued when the Fed was basically giving money away for free knows that AMD is far, far from "doing ju

Re: (Score:2) by jerpyro (926071) If my aging brain remembers correctly, AMD was the first to push the x86_64 in the AMD64 architecture when all Intel had for 64 bit chips was IA-64; and they were also the first to bring AMDV/VT-x to midrange desktop chips (for a while it was only available on Xeons from Intel). They also had better performance per watt than the Intel Chips at the time. It was a good time for AMD but they fell behind when Intel came out with Core2 (based on Pentium M). Since Core2 (and subsequently the iN series) they've
Re: Athlon X4 845 why cut pci-e lanes? amd is losi (Score:2) by O('_')O_Bush (1162487) I chose an FX8350 over an i5 because performance was objectively better than the i5 that cost 50% more for the applications that actually exercised my CPU at the time (Planetside 2, BF3/4, and transcoding).
I would have had to buy an i7 at 2x the price to match the FX8350, and why do that when I could use that money to upgrade my graphics card to the point that no Intel processor could have matched the performance increase?

"Enthusiast"?? (Score:2) by CajunArson (465943) Where's the "enthusiasm" over a retread of parts that they launched in 2014 that weren't even very high end [by AMD standards of "high end"] back in 2014? I don't think you could find anybody who looks at a Core i3 or Pentium -- which compete with these parts on performance and price at much lower power envelopes -- as "enthusiast" parts. Why is AMD even announcing these parts when they are re-launching what are basically the same 28nm process parts in 3 months with a tweaked memory controller in the AM4 plat 2 hidden comments
