The A10-8850K leads the new speed-bumped Kaveri horde.

Is AMD owned by Indians?

Sounds like the exact same processors just slightly better yields and therefore higher clock-speeds.

I really hope their new graphics cards are the bomb....else that new MD has shown herself to be nothing more than a marketing parrot. AMD have been talking the talk lately, it's about time they started walking the walk.

Is it me or does 856 gflops seem a little low? Intels HD5100 is rated at 832 GFLOPS so im guessing that would put Broadwell above this?

I am an Indian but even I ask that question a lot.

No dude its just name...

AMD has a research center in Hyderabad, India. The name could be a nod to their contributions.

This is disappointing.

[Defiant]

Still wont buy an AMD Desktop Processor, GFX is looking less likely each year as well.

[Jimbo75]

Nothing to get excited about here.

[Percy1983]

Will stay with my A8-7600 I think.

Wow, 0.1GHz Turbo increase, and a GPU increase on a GPU that's castrated by the memory bandwidth. AMD sure is gunning for success with these highly conservative product updates.

Yeah it sounds pretty rubbish, but then their Richland update was much the same and did have some noticeable benchmark improvements despite a lack of updated silicon.

So I am not expecting much, but any improvement is good eh?

It's good to see a 3rd world developing country like India turn into a Developed country.

I don't see the problem, a bump on some already excellent value apus, whats not to like?

Only if it keeps up with the improvements everyone else is making, low end Intel and the bigger ARM chips like Tegra are eating away at the bottom of the market where AMD resides, and both of those competitors allow for much smaller (which is trendy) form factors.
