Some good tech here, looking forward to it.

Looks like this could be a nice upgrade from Richland.

I know it means nothing but that pick looks just like the apu in the consoles. Even if they just used the same graphics in the consoles combined with ddr4 and the current quad cores they have that would be amazing.

meh... never going back. never:infinity:

I really want to know what Carrizo is...there was a blurb about it a few months ago as a game-changer, which later proved to be fake--or rather, was *said* to have been fake before it was pulled...;) Interesting. Vishera's an excellent core...my six-core has been chugging along brilliantly for a couple of years now @ ~4.5GHz. Running my games at the resolutions I use I'm maybe ~10% back of an Intel cpu but I'd have to pay *double* what I've paid to get to parity...no thanks, I'll pass...;) Generally, the APUs haven't provided enough in the way of either GPU or CPU power to get me interested...so I'm wondering what Carrizo will bring to the table that might shake things up somewhat. I'd like to see AMD get more aggressive here...

show me specs and performance or amd can shut up., and where are there "performance" desktop cpu. Intel might be the leader in performance but they also been slacking do to no competition APU Suck and the current Console issues prove this. For mobile solutions there great any thing else they are not again points at the current console issues.

You're completely missing the point here, APU's fill a niche in the PC/Laptop market that noone else has filled except Intel(Altough pretty bad). Its a great chance to earn extra money as AMD. Their APU's are of course pretty slow thats the whole point, cheap/performance.

You miss the part where i said out side of mobile they suck? or just selectively reading? The APU from Processing power stand point are still beyond intels offerings from 4+ years ago. Again out side moble they suck and those apu in the ps4/xbone are the reason there power is lacking which is another can worms

if these turn up good performance wise between i3 and i5 I will buy one to make a htpc server out of it.

I had the 5800k APU as my main rig before, pretty decent APU. Now it's in my HTPC and is doing great! Love it, and hopefully these will be even better.

APU's are like perfect fit for HTPC anyway. Anybody expecting more than mid-range performance will be let down.
