The launch of new processors, Ivy Bridge apparently sparked reaction to Intel rival, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). AMD reportedly is producing APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) with code name Trinity and is expected to appear on the market in third quarter this year. APU itself is a name that was given by AMD for its products that incorporate with Radeon graphics processors in single chip.
As quoted from Fudzilla, the processor will be included in Trinity platform codenamed Virgo and use a new socket, socket FM2.
The fastest processors from AMD Trinity is A10 5800K quad-core with speed of 3.8 GHz, 4MB cache, 100W TDP and memory support to DDR3 1866 MHz RAM memory.
A10 5800K is powered by AMD's Radeon HD graphics 7660D consisting of 384 shader units, less than its predecessor, A8 3870K that has 400 shader units. Shader unit function is to render 3D graphics in 3D game.
Although the number of shader units less, AMD claims that the graphics that are generated by A10 5800K is far more superior than its predecessors and competitors, and more efficient power consumption.
A10 5800K has 4 Piledriver core processor and the performance is faster. The processor also claimed to be faster about 10 to 20 percent compared to A8 3870K. AMD already fix some deficiencies in Bulldozer architecture in Piledriver. Not only A10 5800K, AMD is also preparing A6 5400K and A4 5300 which has entered production phase and the samples are estimated to be ready in early April.
APU from AMD is perfect solution for users who want to build powerful computer for gaming, but with not to expensive price. The presence of this Trinity AMD will compete Intel Ivy Bridge in the middle-class market.
