They may be set for June release, but they are already popping up

I am tempted to call this a controlled leak. It just seems too convenient that on the same day when Intel's i7-4770K Haswell CPU gets overclocked to 7 GHz, AMD's Richland APUs also make the news.

Still, whatever the reason may be, I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Long story short, three of the desktop variants of AMD's Richland series of accelerated processing units have been pictured by Hermitage Akihabara.

They are the A10-6800K, the A10-6700, and the A4-4400.

They use the Piledriver architecture and the Radeon HD 8670D graphics core (844 MHz). They also have unlocked base-clock multipliers, or at least the A10-6800K does (AD680KWOA44HL).

Since I'm on the subject, the chip has 4.1 / 4.4 clock speeds (Base/Turbo Core).

A10-6700 (AD6700OKA44HL) is similar, but has 3.7 / 4.3 clocks, while A4-4400 (AD4400OKA23HL) is a dual-core (the others are quad-core) with 3.7 / 3.9 GHz clocks and Radeon HD 8370D graphics. None of them has clock multipliers.
