Kaveri 2013 Fusion supports DDR3 2133

28nm Quad-core Steamroller


AMD plans to replace Trinity at some point in 2013. Trinity is a part of the Virgo platform and features up to four Piledriver CPU cores, supports AMD Turbo Core 3.0, DirectX 11 GPU, socket FM2 as well as DDR3 1866.

The third generation Fusion, or the third generation APU, has up to four Steamroller CPU cores, new DirectX 11 GPU, FS2L socket and DDR3 2133 support. This is the highest DDR3 spec we’ve seen to date and even DDR3 1866 for Vishera and Trinity sounded quite nice.

The codename that AMD wants to talk about is wrapped around Kaveri APU. AMD has revealed in its financial roadmap update that Kaveri APU is a 28nm mainstream part, while Kabini essential level APUs replaces Bobcat-based Brazos 2.0 and they both should be manufactured by GlobalFoundries.

The launch is scheduled for 2013, we have nothing better than that at this time.

Documents from AMD have revealed specifications for Kaveri, which at first sight reminds us of a recently launched circuit. Besides third generation Bulldozer architecture "Steamroller", it will get 8 GCN units, which is the exact same as Radeon HD 7750. There is talk that Kaveri will go up to 100W just like the precursor, and be the first APU to reach 1 TFLOPS (Tera Floating-Point Operations Per Second).

The graphics will be upgraded big time since it at least on paper will equal Radeon HD 7750. If Kaveri gets dual-channel memory we can imagine that memory bandwidth can be limiting in games through. But since the APU will be able to handle the memory in a whole new way it possible this will not be as much of a problem as it is with Llano. We don't know which socket it will use, and if it decides to move over to more memory channels it would definitely help. This is unlikely though since APUs in general are meant to be affordable and another memory channel will add considerable cost to the platform.mance on par with HD 7750 - but what about the memo
Kaveri has performance over 1 TFLOPS, or more precise 1050 GFLOPS, which gives us a hint of the clock frequencies it will use. If the processor gets four cores at 4 GHz, it will contribute with 128 GFLOPS, which means the GPU will contribute the most. Radeon HD 7750 with its 512 Radeon cores is currently at 819 GFLOPS with a clock frequency at 800 MHz. Kaveri would need a graphics circuit at 900 MHz and 921.6 GFLOPS to reach 1049.6 GFLOPS.

Pena que só em 2013, mas é uma boa aposta para quem quer um pc sub-300$ que corra jogos em 720p =)

Acho ainda assim specs um pouco insuficientes. É 1 ano de atraso no que toca à parte do GPU e 28 nm quando a Intel já terá a 2ª geração de 22 nm...

E isto vai ter a performance capada pelas memórias... Certo que 2133 mhz dá uma boa largura de banda, mas são memórias muito caras que devem ser o dobro ou triplo das 1600 e é usado por overclockers e não o publico-alvo desta plataforma.

Deviam voltar com o sideport, com 64 a 128 bits e dava um bost brutal.

JPgod, quando um Trinity uma vez foi testado, apareceu lá 512MB e foi falado em sideport... Achas?
