14 DAY TRIAL // Even though there are still a few hours left until AMD makes official the A-Series mobile accelerated processing units based on the Llano architecture, the company's Italian website jumped the gun and mistakenly posted online a list comprised of all the upcoming APU models.
The list doesn't carry just the names of the APUs, but also their specifications, and holds no major surprises as all the chips included were detailed in previous reports.
The AMD accelerated processing units feature AMD Radeon HD 6000-series integrated graphics, two or four cores and range in speed between 1.5 and 2.1 GHz, while their TDPs are rated at either 35 or 45 Watts.
All the dual-core models are equipped with 2MB of Level 2 cache memory, while the quad-core parts use 4MB of L2 cache.
The fastest of the processors to be launched tomorrow is called the A8-3530MX and packs four processing cores, with a base frequency of 1.9GHz, as well as Radeon HD 6620G integrated graphics.
This features no less than 400 shader processors clocked at 444MHz and OEMs have the option of pairing together with select discrete graphics cards in a Hybrid CorssFireX mode for added graphics performance.
In addition to the on-die GPU, the A8-3530MX also includes a DDR3-1600 dual-channel memory controller, and supports the Turbo Core 2.0 technology that can boost its clock speed to 2.6GHz depending on the load placed on the cores.
The only mobile APU that is missing from the list posted by AMD Italy is the dual-core E2-3000M, which is the lowest performing Llano chip to be released.
From what we know at this time, this will debut a little latter down the line, but a firm launch date wasn't announced just yet.
AMD will release the Llano mobile APUs together with the Hudson-M2 and M3 fusion controller hubs, which combined form the Sabine platform. (via VR-Zone)
