News

AMD cuts prices on A-Series APUs and FX CPUs

Apr 27, 2012: A few days after announcement of Intel's Ivy Bridge micro-architecture, many news sites reported that some European retailers slashed prices of FX-8150 processors by 15% - 20%, and suggested that AMD may have dropped the prices of other processors as well. Today AMD published new pricelist, confirming price drop for the FX-8150 model. The company also cut prices of six- and quad-core FX-Series chips, and for all microprocessors from A-Series.

A6-3670K and A8-3870K surfaced in AMD product database

Dec 20, 2011: Last Friday Turkish site Donanimhaber published a few slides, one of which revealed release date and official prices of A6-3670K and A8-3870K Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). Two processors will be launched on December 26, priced at $115 for A6 model, and $135 for A8 model. AMD today added specifications of these processors to their product database, thus confirming imminent release of both CPUs.

Release date and prices of A6-3670K and A8-3870K CPUs

Dec 16, 2011: On December 5, we published preliminary details of AMDs Llano A6-3670K, A8-3820 and A8-3870K APUs. Turkish site Donanimhaber have now published the release dates and initial pricing for A8-3870K and A6-3670K, as well as revealing more information about the A8-3820.

AMD A8-3870K and A6-3670K are available for pre-order

Dec 05, 2011: This year AMD released a handful of A- and E-Series "Llano" 32nm processors with integrated graphics unit. According to X-bit labs, a few additional Llano models will be launched in January 2012, including A4-3420, A6-3620 and A8-3820, which are slightly faster versions of A4-3400, A6-3600 and A8-3800. There will be also two products with unlocked clock multiplier, A6-3670K and A8-3870K. Last two CPUs are now available for pre-order in US.

Bits and pieces: Mobile Celerons discontinued, Llano specifications

Sep 02, 2011: Yesterday Intel published Product Change Notification (PCN), notifying its customers of upcoming discontinuation of several mobile Celerons. End-of-Line date, or last order date, for mainstream Celeron 900, T3300 and P4500, as well as ultra low voltage 743, is February 29, 2012.
