AMD merging a GPU and a CPU isn't special. None-the-less, you are right; there is a new APU coming in January.

... it'll use four Steamroller CPU cores ...

I'm excited to see how they perform.

We want to  see how the gpu can share the work of the cpu to speed up things a bit. A cpu with a gpu working together plus a dedicated gpu sounds like a good idea

AMD FX 8320@ Stock - Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0 - Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600Mhz - Corsair Carbide 200R - Powercolor Radeon HD 7950 PCS+OC@970Mhz core 1400Mhz memory - Corsair CS650W - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

His title is misleading.  The next gen APU is supposed to pack some serious power unlike before.  Read the article.

maybe they have come up with a way to have an apu that works better with a gpu..

either way i still dont think it will be very popular compared to an 8350 o/c with a decent to high tier gpu like the 770/780/r9 290

I seriously hope so. Apart from increased graphics performance, i'm hoping to see some significant IPC improvements as well

                                                                                                                                            Praise Duarte!

Ok guys I didn't know it is quite old. Coz I have seen Linus talking about in a WAN show recently and while I was browsing I saw this article. I know it is kind of old topic but the point is it is releasing in January. That is what this article is saying and why everyone saying the title is misleading. I just posted the title what is there in article. Was my English that bad?
