AMD Black Edition Godavari out

by on15 May 2015


Out next week 

AMD has listed the AMD A10-7870K Black Edition Godavari Flagship APU which will cost around $150.

The chip might start being sold on May 28th.

The SKU uses the 7800 series and not the expected 8000 series. Godvari architecture is Steamroller CPU cores combined with Graphics CoreNext 1.2 based stream processors. These are stuffed into the integrated GPU inside the APU. The APU PCI-Express 3.0 and supports higher speed DDR3 controllers with 2133 MHz as default.

There will be up to four x86 cores to be more specific, along with up to 512 stream processors per integrated graphics processing unit.

Specs wise, they will be the same as Kaveri. There will be an OEM Godavari which will be branded under the 8000 series. This has at least one SKU with the A10-8850B Godavari Flagship APU while the rest will probably be 'old' Kaveri rebrands.

Both APUs will support the FM2+ socket and are thought to have 95W TDP. Both APUs are the literal flagship Godavari and motherboard vendors have already listed support of these SKUs.
