AMD Shows details new Athlon X2 and X4 processors
AMD has shared the specifications of three new Athlon X2 and X4 processors. Two quad and one dual-core are being presented, these are based on Kaveri architecture, but interestingly enough do not have an integrated GPU (or at least not enabled).
The 28nm processors have Steamroller CPu cores, the Athlon X2 450 has two of these clocked at 3.5GHz with a turbo to 3.9GHz. It has 1 MB L2 cache with a nice 65 Watt TDP. The Athlon X4 840 en 860K have an unlocked multiplier and get 4 MB L2 cache each. The Athlon X4 840 is clocked at 3.1 / 3.8 GHz again with a 65 TDP while the 860K will be clocked at 3.7 / 4 GHz and has a 95 Watt TDP.
AMD does not talk about configurable TDPs, prices are to be announced.
| CPU | Cores/ Threads | Clock/ Turbo | L2-cache | Tdp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athlon X2 450 | 2 / 2 | 3,5 / 3,9 GHz | 1 MB | 65 Watt |
| Athlon X4 840 | 4 / 4 | 3,1 / 3,8 GHz | 4 MB | 65 Watt |
| Athlon X4 860K | 4 / 4 | 3,7 / 4 GHz | 4 MB | 95 Watt |

Is that the magic combination we're waiting for from AMD?

The way u make that sound is like the FX naming magically makes it better.
I would very much like to see a x6 of this with more cache, core for core i think the APU's were slightly better anyways and moving these to 28nm though still behind intel is still a nice considering the price difference.

AMD needs to clarify things with OS producers because every Athlon X4 shows up as 2 cores / 4 threads in task manager (atleast windows 7 and windows
. Are theese CPUs dual cores with "AMD hyper threading" ?? I have the Athlon 760k and it shows up as a dual core in Windows 8.

If it's Kaveri derived, it's "technically" a quad core, whereas all previous parts are "dual core with hardware hyperthreading" as I understand it. The Kaveri modules had some bits added which effectively make them dual-cores, whereas the previous ones only had 1 integer processor or something that made them kinda sucky on single-threaded workloads.

Every one I've seen shows up properly. Since all AMD processors contain physical cores and those physical cores only process a single thread, they won't show up as "2core/4thread".
You can't have a core, without an integer unit. The integer unit itself, is the core.

It was something core related anyway that makes Kaveri better than the previous chips.

Would love to see how the 860K performs. Might a nice budget gaming CPU. Unless the 8320E runs on Micro ATX AM3+ boards.

Kaveri is based on Steamroller, whereas Trinity and Richland were based on Piledriver. Steamroller has slightly better IPC and a better iGPU.
