Product Showcase - AMD Kaveri Series APU

Here you can see the AMD Kaveri APU - the A10-7860K. 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. 
  

Desktop Kaveri based APU processors require socket FM2+.  Your old CPU cooler however remains compatible with FM2+. 

We'll focus on the A10-7860K APU for this review though. It runs at 3.6 Ghz and can turbo towards 4.0 GHz configured at a 95 Watts TDP.

For this review AMD submitted an MSI mITX US motherboard with plenty of features. We use two 8GB DIMMs running 2133 MHz on our test setup. If you stick to the iGPU then you can make use of an HDMI, D-SUB or DVI connector.

AMD bundles the APU with their new type (not Wraith) cooler, extremely silenty I must admit.
