heard AMD plans to introduce two dual-core 28nm Trinity successors around the end of the second quarter of 2013. These Richland processors are said to have a 65W TDP, one part will populate the A4-series while the other chip will be A6-series with the K-suffix to underline the overclocking capability.
Some details are known such as the number of Radeon cores, but the rest remains a mystery.
The A6 xxxxK also comes with 1MB of L2 cache and 192 Radeon cores. The top quad-core A10 xxxxK should have twice as much or 384. The A6 xxxxK supports new FM2 socket, dual graphics as well as Turbo Core.
The runner up should settle for A4 xxxx branding and this dual core also works under 65W TDP. It has 1MB of L2 cache and 128 Radeon Cores 2.0, but this processor won’t support dual graphics and won’t come unlocked.
The good news is that it will support AMD Turbo Core and the less exciting part is support for AMD’s FM2 socket. It is also interesting to mention that A10, A8 and A6 parts will support Blu-ray 3D but not the A4 Richland 28nm part.
