It can also manage Turbo speeds up to 3.9GHz with the wind behind it or it going downhill.

There are also six GCN Radeon "cores" clocked at 757 MHz which are a modest increase over the Kaveri A8-7650K.

This is the second Godavari APU in the shops. We saw an A10-7870K in May. AMD claims that the 7670K is a better performer in games than a combo like Intel's Pentium G3258 and a GeForce GT 730 discrete graphics card.

It also adds that the 7670K performs better in tasks like applying Photoshop's Smart Sharpen filter and running 3DMark versus Intel's Core i3-4160.

The A8-7670K carries a suggested price of $117.99, and AMD says has "immediate availability."
