BT review is up - A8 7600
they even throw compute at it (shame on the out of date cinebench) , seems a compute monster!
The Bit-tech BF4 scores look much lower than what TR got even though the latter tested it at higher settings. However,according to the other forum,I thought Iris Pro was the slayer of AMD. Appears not.
Nope, there are very few chips which include Crystalwell, and all of them are BGA, and very expensive.
How bizzare. Its a real shame Intel dont slap it on a midrange i5 or an i3 (or even better Apple take up AMD APUs) for the Mac Mini. I haven't been able to use my live visuals software (VDMX) legitimately for years and its a bit of a shame as i would like to get back into it but having to plunge £1200+ for a capable mac or hassle on building a hackintosh for something that might not get much use is hardly ideal.
I could build the hackintosh with an SFF GPU then also use it as a media PC... but i want an APU
An AMD Gigabyte BRIX could be another option if they use Kaveri. They're not OSX though obviously.
The 2C GT3 parts are nearly 200MM2,and the L4 cache alone is 80MM2. Its expensive for Intel to produce. Broadwell might mean we see GT3e ULV parts,but that is the problem. Current Haswell GT2 Core i3,Core i5 and Core i7 parts use the same dies for mobile and desktop. Haswell will live on in the desktop for probably most of the year,which means most of the laptops too. I see Broadwell being introduced to ULV parts,and maybe a run of parts for Apple and high end thin and light laptops. However,whether the ULV parts will have L4 cache is not known ATM.
AMD has been working on stacked DRAM and HBM with partners for a while,and it seems the Kaveri memory controller has fused off functionality. If AMD(and its a big if) can get this on their next generation APUs in 2015 it might spice things up ATM.
Considering the power consumption of Iris Pro (which is well hidden unless you really look around for some numbers)... I have my doubts.
Hmmmm. "Interesting"
I'm not really in the market for an upgrade at the minute, but a 65W Kaveri with 512 shaders would've pushed all sorts of buttons for me. Seems we're going to have to wait weeks for any kind of 65W part, and even then it'll be pretty heavily gimped. Still, I guess I should be thankful - nothing particularly tempting means I can continue to feel smug about my low power SFF system for a bit long yet
There are two parts:

http://cdn.overclock.net/1/15/500x10...06_010128.jpeg
The first is the 65W TDP A10 7800 and the second is the 45W/65W TDP A8 7600.
If/when the A10 7800 part shows up, I'll take an interest ... 30W TDP reduction on the back of 200MHz Core clock reduction*? You'll understand if I take that with a pinch of salt, right?
*Or more to the point, compared to the 7700K it's 128 more shaders, 100MHz higher turbo clock, but 30W lower TDP? That's got to be a "yield-allowing" future SKU, surely...?
So it seems to dont get battfield 4 with pre orders! still 34 available for next day at dabs! (kaveri)
Before i do, am i right in saying 7850k can take 2400 ram without bottlenecking? any news on this?
