AMD A4-Series Llano Desktop Chips get pricetag

Processor 721 Published by

The entire Lynx/Llano release from AMD has been a decent success. Starting at the top with the A8 series processors (oh wait APUs), obviously the A6 series and now it's time that A4 series see the light of day as well.

The chips are the A4-3300 and A4-3400, being part of the same Llano platform, though with just two CPU cores each. They also have the Radeon HD 6410D graphics, which utilizes 160 shader units and runs at 600 MHz.

Speaking of clock speeds, the CPU cores themselves are set at 2.5 GHz for the A4-3300 and 2.7 GHz for the A4-3400. Furthermore, the DDR3 memory controller supports memory at 1,600 MHz, while the 1 MB of L2 cache completes the feature set of the units, more or less.

The A-Series APUs on sale have prices of $89 or more, with the A8-3850 costing the most ($135). The A4-3300 can be pre-ordered for visibly less, $73.52 to be exact (boxed), or $78.78 (tray), while the A4-3400 goes for $79.25 and $84.92, respectively.

Then again, these are early prices, and it is fairly safe to assume that official availability will bring with it a drop in the price tags, until the units ship for $65-$70.
