As AMD was saying nice that the delay was just a probably false rumour.
AMD's 'Kaveri' high-performance APU remains on track and will start shipping to customers in Q4 2013, with first public availability in the desktop component channel very early in Q1 2014.
Mobile 'Kaveri' products will be available later in the first half of 2014.
Probably similar to the 9000 series FXs --- POWER CONSUMPTION IS OVER 9000 !!!!
Pretty soon Charlie will have story saying: "Kaveri is delayed but not delayed" ( wonder how many will get thatAMD's 'Kaveri' high-performance APU remains on track and will start shipping to customers in Q4 2013, with first public availability in the desktop component channel very early in Q1 2014.

Because they fail to understand the concept that when you Launch a product, its expected to be on shelves and ready to buy.
It would be akin to Intel slashing X79 and LGA2011 socket and sticking to Z87 only.
+1
Only is they accelerate would it make it truly an APU current gens both Intel and AMD are just a cpu with a igp of course Kaveri will be the first real change to this.
On the 28nm node that is simply not possible not so much AMD is lacking here but more all the foundries the only fab that is up to speed it Intel's.Originally Posted by BBEG
I will only care about Kevari if:
Past this, I just want to see a dedicated desktop CPU that can properly trade blows with Ivy in single-threaded performance, to say anything of Haswell.
- There is a low power version suitable for mITX HTPC use, and
- The 'proper desktop CPU' versions can actually compete with Intel and can enhance AMD GPUs through some sort of Crossfire-lite.
Then Kaveri should not be on your radar.
