The CPU core frequency boost isn't much to get excited about however the 20% increase to the GPU core frequency sounds fairly significant especially when paired with the improved DDR3 bandwidth. It will be interesting how this affects dual graphics benchmarks now that the frequency difference between the integrated and discreet graphics cores has been reduced.

Wonder how this new stepping will overclock. The 7850 overclocks pretty decently.

If even a thing like this gets GCN 1.2, there's no way the 300 series video cards wouldn't. I guess I can consider them after all. As old as they are, rebranded, they would still be newer than my current ancient card.

Has overclocking on these apu's been fixed since Richland? I had some weird throttling issues on the 5800k. Very fun platform to mess with tho.

I would love to see benchmarks on this apu + difference in fps when RAM is overclocked or not. Will you do a review on this one HH?

That's too bad you would think they'd allow power limit adjustments on the k series desktop models just think 1 chip doing both cpu and graphics under water could be fun.
