Top Richland 28nm APU is A10-6800K
The successor to AMD's Trinity line of APUs, codenamed Richland, just got a name. It won't surprise many that the top Richland processor will be named A10-6800K . It will succeed AMD's current flagship APU, the A10-5800K, and continue the similar naming convention.
The A10 6800K is a quad-core APU with DirectX 11 support and it will fit 100W TDP envelope. It continues to support FM2 motherboards and the rest of AMD's Trinity infrastructure. The K suffix indicates that the processor will come with an unlocked multiplier and it will offer easy overclocking for the willing. Naturally Richland A-series APUs do support AMD Turbo core and its graphics is based on Radeon HD 8000 series.
The expected launch time is June, but the production should be ready by late March 2013. Production candidate samples were scheduled for early December, while late January should be the time for production ready samples. The Richland generation currently consists of four quad-cores and two dual-core processors.
