AMD is going to release a A8 series APU with unlocked multiplier. The Fusion processors released all have locked multipliers that block or at the least increasingly make overclocking more difficult.

The new APU processor will be the A8 3870 model with an expected 3.1 GHz clock frequency. The rest of the specs will remain the same as the 100W TDP, Radeon HD 6550D with 400 shader processors. The chip is due for release in Q4 of this year.
