We mentioned it earlier on already, but it now was confirmed. AMD has confirmed that Kaveri will be available for purchase in 2014. Kaveri APU will start shipping in Q4 2013, but that public availability won't occur until early Q1 2014, mobile Kaveri chips will follow later in the first half of 2014.

The third-generation APU, is set to deliver a computing performance of 1 teraflops. Kaveri is expected to be released in 2013. Kaveri APU will have at least 1 TFLOPS of total compute performance. The Trinity and Richland APUs are rated at 726 GFLOPS. This is around a 38% performance improvement, which shows the heterogeneous architecture AMD has adopted is headed in the right direction. Kaveri will be the first APU with true shared, unified address space between the CPU and GPU.

Vr-zone:

Here’s AMD’s official statement on the nuances of language and Kaveri’s launch date:

AMD’s ‘Kaveri’ high-performance APU remains on track and will start shipping to customers in Q4 2013, with first public availability in the desktop component channel very early in Q1 2014.

‘Kaveri’ features up to four ‘Steamroller’ x86 cores, major heterogeneous computing enhancements, and a discrete-level Graphics Core Next (GCN) implementation – AMD’s first high-performance APU to offer GCN. ‘Kaveri’ will be initially offered in the FM2+ package for desktop PCs.

Mobile ‘Kaveri’ products will be available later in the first half of 2014.
