AMD Confirms Kaveri APU Will Ship In 2013 and be Available To Enthusiasts by 2014

Just today, AMD has released an official statement given today on response to news stories by various Tech websites that the Kaveri APU will be delayed till 2014. Advanced Micro Devices paradoxically claims that the previously revealed road map claiming shipping by 2013 was not a lie and the Kaveri APU will indeed ship by 2013. However it will only be available to the general public in 2014.  Needless to say that’s one confusing statement.

So Apparently AMD Negates Rumors by Confirming Them. The Official Statement on the Kaveri APU is as follows: 

“AMD’s ‘Kaveri’ high-performance APU remains on track and will start shipping to customers in Q4 2013, with first public availability in the desktop component channel very early in Q1 2014.

‘Kaveri’ features up to four ‘Steamroller’ x86 cores, major heterogeneous computing enhancements, and a discrete-level Graphics Core Next (GCN) implementation – AMD’s first high-performance APU to offer GCN. ‘Kaveri’ will be initially offered in the FM2+ package for desktop PCs. Mobile ‘Kaveri’ products will be available later in the first half of 2014.”

I think that it wont be huge performance improvement, but i hope that it is.

This site again... XD x12 phenom anybody? jk but this is interesting I believe we've been told that Steamroller is going to reduce the amount of shared resources between cores so I'm expecting a 25% performance increase (basically the MP ratio will raise from 2/3 of the core count to the actual core count).

AMD seems to be pulling their shit together...

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Piledriver was already a step in the right direction, the 8350 beats the 3770k in fully multi-threaded tasks.

Steamroller isn't going to be any different to games in terms of single core performance read the roadmap it says parallelism; expect 25% performance increases across the board and nothing else...

Steamroller will improve single threaded performance too

Oh... I was looking at Excavator... But still. AMD is getting better.

Ooo, looks really nice actually :o I'm probably going to hold out for an upgrade till the architecture till after excavator

Yes they are ^_^ ; Intel are still superior though... 6 core mainstream cpus and 8 core extreme cpus are imminent... are will most likely cut down AMD like the forests in avatar

That didn't go so well if I remember correctly :P
