Hmm, this looks very interesting. We've got an old system in the house that's single core AMD64 and GF8800 graphics. Originally it was used for a lot of gaming, but these days it's kind of downgraded (by the person who's got it currently) to doing general Office-type stuff, web-browsing and media encoding (using a CUDA app running on the graphics card).
It strikes me that a quad core Trinity (@35W TDP) would perhaps be a better solution - could be a dead cert for a bit of pre-Christmas shopping.
Or have I got it wrong (again)?

"all manufactured on TSMC's 32nm node"
Glo-Fo surely?
my question: will the 17W variants come in A10 flavour with all 384 shaders enabled?
According to the original report it's TSMC, so you've imbued me with a little doubt now lol.Originally Posted by Jedibeeftrix
17W variants will likely be A8 equivalents, there's the A8-3500M which features 1.5GHz quad-core with 400 shaders (6620G) within the 35W TDP, so I'd suggest something like this would form the top of the 17W offerings. From the wording of the slides, there's going to be a quad-core offering so this sounds likely. I can't say shaders will be equivalent though as I think the main change is a move away from the HD 5900 tech used in Llano to the redesigned shaders of the HD 6900-series.

Trinity is manufactured at globalfoundries.
Yeah have been reading around will update the post - looks as though the Tom's Hardware report made a mistake.
This has to be the perfect choice for an HTPC. Scrub the E-450 and take one of the ULVs
As well as a HTPC, I'd quite like a netbook powered by one of these!
my next laptop and my home computer will be run with these, i see no point in useing other equipment when these will do all i need, i dont need 60 frames in the latest shooter game. i will need a good sata3 ssd in ether.
Very excited by this - Llano is great but performance not quite where it needs to be - if this can really add 30% then it could be a winner.
