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)

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!
