AMD has announced that on Monday they've introduced their A8-7670K APU (accelerated processing unit). This particular processor is made for low-cost systems and it's based on the "Kaveri" architecture.

In the case of the AMD A8-7670K there are four "Steamroller" cores - two dual-core modules - which are specified to run at 3.60 GHz / 3.90 GHz clock speeds. Apart from that there is an integrated AMD Radeon R7 graphics core, which comes with 384 stream processors, which equals to six GCN compute units. The integrated GPU runs at 757 MHz. Furthermore there is 4 Megabyte L2 cache and a dual-cannel DDR3 memory interface, which support hUMA (heterogenous unified memory architecture). The A8-7670K features a TDP of 95 Watts.

AMD is marketing this CPU as a good alternative for office PCs. Nevertheless it could also be used for mainstream computers, although one shouldn't expect too much from the processor. The A8-7670K is going to be available from September and its MSRP is 117.99 US-Dollar.
