AMD released their 100W and 65W Richland APUs for the desktop FM2 platform last month, it was met with great reposes since it improved on the areas where Trinity lacked enhancing the clock speeds and HD Radeon performance. AMD is also preparing new 45W Richland APUs which have been leaked in MSI's CPU compatibility list.
AMD 45W Richland APUs Leaked - A10-6700T and A8-6500T
AMD's Richland APU lineup would get two new parts, the A10-6700T and A8-6500T. The "T" moniker represents low TDP variants and its not known whether the new APUs would feature an unlocked "K" design for overclocking
The A10-6700T is a quad core part with a frequency of 2.5 GHz while Turbo Core speed remains unknown. It has 4MB of L2 Cache and an HD 8650D integrated graphics part that is clocked at 720 MHz featuring 384 shaders. The specific model has the product code of "AD670TYHA44HL".
The A8-6500T is a quad core part with a frequency of 2.1 GHz while Turbo Core speed remains unknown. It has 4MB of L2 Cache and an HD 8550D integrated graphics part that is clocked at 720 MHz featuring 256 shaders. The specific model has the product code of "AD650TYHA44HL".
| Model | A10-6700T | A8-6500T |
| Base Clock (GHz) | 2.5 GHz | 2.1 GHz |
| Boost Clock (GHz) | TBD | TBD |
| L2 Cache | 4 MB | 4 MB |
| GPU Core Model | HD 8650D (384 Stream processors) | HD 8550D (256 Stream processors) |
| GPU Clock (MHz) | 720 MHz | 720 MHz |
Pricing for both models remain unknown and so does the launch date. Its not known whether both SKUs would be available to consumers or they would be kept for OEM's only to use. AMD's Richland APUs have proved to be well on all ends and you can expect our review of the A10-6800K and A8-6700 very soon. Expect more details on the low power Richland parts within this month.
