As AMD was saying nice that the delay was just a probably false rumour.
[VRZ] AMD confirms Kaveri will be in the hands of enthusiasts in 2014

But seriously, I heard it somewhere that the max TDP for Kaveri is 65W.
Since it's being made on the 28nm process, it should be more power effecient, or have higher clock while outputting same amount of heat.
Probably similar to the 9000 series FXs --- POWER CONSUMPTION IS OVER 9000 !!!!Originally Posted by geox
any word on power consumption?

So basically, what VR-Zone was saying is turning out to be true. People will not be able to buy Kaveri until Q1 2014.
I wonder why AMD always has to confuse people with their launch release dates.
Roadmap implies 2H 2013

Pretty soon Charlie will have story saying: "Kaveri is delayed but not delayed" ( wonder how many will get that

Kaveri "launches" in late 2013 because thats when it starts shipping to channel partners, but nobody gets their hands on it until 2014.
Its almost like its not ready when they said it would be and are pushing back the date even more!

Because they fail to understand the concept that when you Launch a product, its expected to be on shelves and ready to buy.Originally Posted by 2010rig

Lol, your i5 is a high performance APU.Originally Posted by james8
how can "APU" and "high-performance" be in the same sentence?
i mean i own a A10-6800K but it performs nowher near high.

The difference is going to be that Intel's desktop IGP is much weaker and memory isn't "shared" in the same sense. It's not HSA because the memory is partitioned off instead. The only time the IGP memory gets adequately used is Intel Quicksync.
Also LucidVirtu is a poor implementation of Hybrid Crossfire.
It would be akin to Intel slashing X79 and LGA2011 socket and sticking to Z87 only.Originally Posted by james8

To me, if the chip has an iGPU then it's an APU. Not everyone would agree with that, however.

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.Originally Posted by mrawesome421

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.

I seriously doubt AMD will be using these to compete (performance-wise) with Intel's offerings.
Then Kaveri should not be on your radar.Originally Posted by BBEG
