14 DAY TRIAL // Initially, “Richland” was a brand name only used to refer to consumer accelerated processing units from Advanced Micro Devices, based on the Piledriver architecture. We can add business chips to the list though.
AMD was always going to release business versions of its desktop processors, even if it didn't make a fuss about them like it did for the consumer chips.
It hasn't exactly been keeping the world updated though, in regard to them. Fortunately, there are other ways to keep track of developments.
In this particular instance, HP's Compaq Pro 6305 Desktop PCs revealed the existence and specs of the new processor, the B-Series.
Previously, they only had older “Trinity” business class APUs available, four in number, but now there are eight in total.
The A4-6300B is the weakest of the lot, a dual-core with 1 MB of cache memory (L2), Radeon HD 8370D graphics at 760 MHz and a TDP (thermal design power) of 65W.
One step above it lies the A6-6400B, also a dual-core with 1 MB cache, but with 3.9 GHz / 4.1 GHz clock speeds and HD 85470D graphics at 800 MHz. It, too, has a TDP of 65W.
The next CPU in the lineup is a quad-core that, nonetheless, still works on 65W. Called A8-6500B, it has a clock of 3.5 GHz (4.1 GHz Turbo Core), 4 MB of cache memory, and a GPU frequency of 800 MHz (HD 8570D).
Finally, the A10-6800B is the only chip in this set with 100W TDP (thermal design power). Its other specs are 4.1 GHz / 4.4 GHz clock, 4 MB cache memory, and HD 8670D graphics with 844 MHz frequency.
No prices are mentioned anywhere because these chips will only be available through OEM systems. So there is no “official” price for them because it ultimate depends greatly on how said OEM and AMD haggle over shipment size and value.
