Nearly two weeks after the launch of the first processing unit of an accelerated basis in Llano architecture, AMD has announced theavailability of prime A-Series desktops APUs, A8 and A6, 3850-3650.
From the previous leaks that made their way to the Web, we knowthat the desktop line Llano APU consists of no less than six chips,but for whatever reason AMD decided to debut just two processorsat this time.
Both accelerated processing unit featuring four processing cores,bringing 4MB Level 2 cache memory, lack of support for CoreAMD 2.0 Turbo technology and has a TDP of 100W.
However, they do use different operating frequencies, because theA8-3850 runs at 2.9GHz while the A6-3650 clocked at 2.6GHz, as well as the different integrated graphics core, the Radeon HD6550D in the HD 6530 chip on the A8 and A6 APU.
As expected, HD 6550D is a faster option for packaging 400 stream processors clocked at 600MHz compared with 320 stream processors operating at 433MHz is used for HD 6530D.
All AMD Series D-accelerated processing unit is compatible withsocket FM1 and can be paired with a motherboard built aroundAMD's A75 or A70 controller hub Fusion (FCH).
AMD A8 and A6, 3850-3650 desktop processor slated to be available for purchase through the system builder and at major online retailers, including Amazon, CyberPower, iBuyPower,Newegg and TigerDirect began July 3, 2011.
Price was set at $ 135 for AMD A8-3850, while the smaller brotherhas a suggested retail price of $ 115.
The rest of the A-series desktop processors based on the architecture of Llano is expected to be launched later this year, but AMD does not make public the official release date.
All APUs Llano has released and has a TDP of 65W or four dual-core processor as well as support for core 2.0 Turbo.
