So two A series APUs in 2013? I thought Steamroller was delayed till 2014? Anyway, good to see AMD progressing.

Yup. I'm glad they're not falling too behind in their own domain. My future build will be AMD based.

So Kaveri and Steamroller will be 28nm for sure then, what of Excavator. From the looks of things, Excavator can very well be Q4 2014 or Q1 2015 and at 20nm likely. That would be great considering bully Intel will be at 14nm. ( AMD, Nvidia and IBM at 20nm during the same period)

Also I think Steamroller has to be DDR4 and as for the APU, GDDR5 to hold its own vs Intel. Excavator will surely be DDR4 and possibly GDDR6.

Great. Looking forward to the release of Kaveri and Haswell. Going to do a complete overhaul on my PC by the end of this year for gaming and some rendering. Going from my current rig (Core2 Duo) to this is going be a revelation xD

Being the PC gamer enthusiast that you are, in the near future, AMD will be the obvious GPU choice since every console games developed will be made based on AMD GPUs. I doubt they'll optimise their games for AMD for console, and NVidia for PC. =P

But yeah, these APUs will make gaming PCs leap in front of anything we've seen so far. In no time, real time ray tracing for games will be at our door!!!

Ok... maybe I'm a bit over enthused right now, but my point still stands. =P

Didn't you understand a single word of what I just said? -__-

Will do! It's funny because I bought an OC'd HD7770 from Amazon recently but returned it because I knew that it was not going pay off in the long run (PS4 GPU being in between the HD7850-7870 in terms of power). Probably won't be able to afford the very best but saving up for something decent like the HD7870 or 7950. Should get some nice gains from crossfiring it with the APU.

If its possible. Current Trinity A10 can only crossfire with HD6670. I'd figure future APUs with Sea Islands would crossfire with 8670 or perhaps 8770 at best.

Edit: Richland may do 7670 or 7770 at best.

Ah right, didn't know that you could only use it with certain cards. Hrmh, there goes that AMD rig out the window..

Going to have to see what intel has to offer with Haswell. Don't think I can hold off that upgrade for much longer though lol.

I'm thinking of building a HTPC based on AMDs next gen APUs. This is certainly quite intriguing if true. I wonder how well the APU will be able to handle games. The current gen APUs (high end) can handle most current gen games at OK resolution and quality.
