AMD Launches New A-Series Desktop CPUs

 AMD recently introduced the latest addition to its line of desktop A-Series processors, the A10-7870K APU, a refresh to the existing line of processors codenamed “Kaveri”. The latest iteration of the AMD A-Series APU family is powered by up to 12 compute cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU).The A10-7870K APU is available at e-tail now at a suggested price (SEP) of US $137, and through participating system builders.

The AMD A10-7870K APU features 12 compute cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU), up to 4.1 GHz CPU clock and 95W TDP for exceptional performance on today’s modern workloads, and up to 5 percent faster system performance versus a competitive processor. The Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture is also specifically engineered for general computing and GPU-aware programming languages like C++ AMP and OpenCL™ 2.0.

The AMD A10-7870K APU is supported by the existing AMD socket FM2+ motherboard ecosystem making it simple to upgrade to the new processor.
