AMD fx-7600p with a R9 290m

Why is this combination not available yet? I know the older APUs would bottleneck this gpu but I think the 7600p could solve some of the issues with the older APUs. What do you guys think?

I am sad to tell this to you, but AMD are slowpokes. Notebooks with this APU should have been available since summer...

We already know the part numbers of some laptops with FX-7600P that will be released, but can't find them on market.

MSI :

GX60-5CD81FD, GX60-5CD16H11, GX70-5CD81FD and GX70-5CD8H11B

Carrizo will be out before you know it so no point in buying a FX-7600P now.

Honestly it's just an A10 with FX branding to make it sound higher performance. I wouldn't get it. The GPU is a great card (the new Retina iMac shows its capability with a 4790K), but that APU would be a bottleneck.
