AMD announces new A-Series APU codenamed ‘Richland’

[Redaktion]

AMD's new Elite A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) for notebooks are ready to replace the barely year-old Trinity platform. The four new 35W APUs are built on 32nm technology, offering slightly higher turbo clock rates and Radeon HD 8000 series GPUs.

Its nice to see AMD hasn't given up.  Hopefully they have their next generation C-series parts ready soon so they can really start competing in the windows 8 tablet market.  However, it looks like 10W TDP chips based on Haswell as well as next generation Atom chips will be hot on AMD's heels (and probably with better performance/battery life).  But if AMD is close in the performance/battery life game they can always play the price card and provide a great value to consumers.
