Athlons and Semprons coming for FM2

dostov · Aug 15, 2013

CPU World has unearthed two such parts. The Sempron 250 is a 3.2GHz clocked at 3.2GHz. It’s a 65W parts with a relatively modest 1MB of L1 cache and it’s practically a neutered A4-4000. The Athlon X2 350 is also a 65W dual-core, but it’s clocked at 3.5GHz. It also has just 1MB of cache.

For people who are going with a powerful discrete GPU anyway, it makes not much sense to pay for a full-blown APU when you can have a CPU sans le GPU for less money.

Nobody would pay for an high end graphic card and match it with that type of cpu.

The Richland tech is actually pretty fast. The CPU part of the 6800k is faster than an FX-4300.

They decreased the cache to 1mB + it's only a 1 module 2 core part. It will be extremely low end.

I'll be surprised if they only release Athlon X2. Its Fudzilla, I don't believe half of what comes from them.

They are set to release a new Trinity-based Athlon X4 also. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Richland-based X4 part in the future.

If I was to build an AMD based gaming system right now, I'd probably go for a FM2 platform. It just makes more sense overall.

Like E2180, E2160 and E2140 back on 775. (small secondary cache)
And I would think that it should be at least a quad core for now on! (Come on, AMD!)
