Well the wait is almost over. January 14th AMD will launch the new A-series for Stationary computers followed by Laptops later the first half of 2014.

The specifications are as follows (Sorry some titles may be in Swedish (Marked with SWE), do not know the equivalent in English (already translated from German so I am tired of translating)

Specifications: AMD A10-serie "Kaveri"

	A10-7850K	A10-7700K	A10-6800K	A10-6600K
Family	Kaveri	Kaveri	Richland	Richland
Arkitektur (SWE)	Steamroller	Steamroller	Piledriver	Piledriver
Cores	4 / 2 st.	4 / 2 st.	4 / 2 st.	4 / 2 st.
CPU-freqency	3,7 GHz	-	4,1 GHz	3,9 GHz
CPU-turbofrequency	4,0 GHz	3,8 GHz	4,4 GHz	4,2 GHz
L2-cache	2 x 2 MB	2 x 2 MB	2 x 2 MB	2 x 2 MB
Graphics	R7 Graphics	R7 Graphics	HD 8670D	HD 8570D
Grafikarkitektur (SWE)	GCN	GCN	VLIW4	VLIW4
Steamprocessorer (SWE)	512 st.	384 st.	384 st.	256 st.
GPU-frequency	720 MHz	720 MHz	844 MHz	844 MHz
Memorysupport (DDR3)	2 133 MHz	2 133 MHz	2 133 MHz	1 866 MHz
HSA	Yes	Yes	No	No

Unlocked	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Socket	FM2+	FM2+	FM2/FM2+	FM2/FM2+
TDP	~95W	~95W	100W	100W

Many of these specifications has been known for some time but now we have all the information!

The thing that I personally find most interesting among the new series is that Kaveri will be able to use HSA and HUMA. This will make it possible to address memory between CPU and GPU directly, and that means the resources between the both will be used better and make it possible for developers to support applications that use calculations with the GPGPU

The Kaveri will also have support for the new PCI Express 3.0 and will require the socket FM2+ that can be recognised by it's black colour!
