Here you can see the AMD Richland APU - the A10 6790. Pretty much as big as any other AMD APU or Phenom or even Athlon II processors you may have seen. This one has a Northbridge and a GPU merged into it though. And it makes all the difference. We can also see the laser inscription on the APU.

AMD 'A' series APUs Generation 2 will not fit on Socket AM3/AM3+ though, the processors have a socket design called FM2. Your Socket AM3/AM3+ CPU cooler however remains compatible with FM2. This APU can be found for roughly 120 EUR in the stores right now.

We have two Richland APUs at hand. We'll focus on the A10 6790 APU for this review though. It runs at 4100 Mhz and can turbo towards 4300 MHz.

Also new, AMD has released gamer Radeon series memory. 4 DIMM kits up-to 2133 MHz will become available really fast. These are of course optimized for the AMD platforms.
