A collection of AMD's Carrizo-L-based APUs for notebooks and all-in-ones have begun shipping to OEMs, meaning it won't be too long before we see the Puma-based products in new devices.
APU | TDP | DDR3 Speed | CPU Cores | CPU Speed | L2 Cache | Graphics |
A8-7410 | 12-25W | 1866 MHz | 4 | Up to 2.5 GHz | 2 MB | Radeon R5 |
A6-7310 | 12-25W | 1600 MHz | 4 | Up to 2.4 GHz | 2 MB | Radeon R4 |
A4-7210 | 12-25W | 1600 MHz | 4 | Up to 2.2 GHz | 2 MB | Radeon R3 |
E2-7110 | 12-25W | 1600 MHz | 4 | Up to 1.8 GHz | 2 MB | Radeon |
E1-7010 | 10W | 1333 MHz | 2 | Up to 1.5 GHz | 1 MB | Radeon |
In total there are five Carizzo APUs now available, four of which feature quad-core Puma+ CPUs (the other is dual-core), and all come with some form of Radeon graphics. These APUs are the successor to last year's Beema line, while we can expect Excavator-based Carrizo APUs with higher levels of performance later this year.
AMD has also reduced the prices of their Kaveri desktop APUs across the board. Most of the APUs are $6-16 cheaper than the prices AMD set in October last year, which equates to a price drop as high as $46 when compared to launch prices.
APU | Old Price | New Price | Reduction |
A10-7850K | $143 | $127 | $16 |
A10-7800 | $133 | $127 | $6 |
A10-7700K | $123 | $117 | $6 |
A8-7650K | $105 | $95 | $10 |
A8-7600 | $92 | $85 | $7 |
A6-7400K | $58 | $60 | -$2 |
A4-7300 | $42 | $42 | $0 |
Customers after a Kaveri desktop APU will see the price cuts come into effect on May 10.
