Details of upcoming 45W Richland APUs from AMD have leaked on the web. The A10-6700T and A8-6500T were listed on the support pages of MSI's Socket FM2 motherboards, they offer a lower power alternative to the 65W and 100W APUs in AMD's current Richland lineup. Only the base clock speeds are present on the list, and they're quite a bit lower than on the 65W parts. 



The A10-6700T's base frequency is down 1.2GHz from the standard A10-6700's 3.7GHz. The A8-6500 has been trimmed even further; its base clock has dropped from 3.7GHz in the standard model to 2.1GHz in the T variant. Unfortunately, there's no word on the peak Turbo frequencies of either CPU. Core counts aren't listed on the CPU support page, but I suspect the new A8 and A10 models have dual modules with four integer cores. The IGP ALU counts probably haven't changed from those of their non-T counterparts, either, though the graphics clocks have fallen to 720MHz. The list also mentions a few other Richland chips, including B-series variants that appear to have identical specifications to current models. Low-end A4-6300 and A4-4000 APUs are listed, as well. Those slot in below the A6-6400K and are tagged with 65W TDPs.
