While the recently detailed Carrizo APUs might not be coming to desktop market, AMD has decided to unveil a new Kaveri-based APU for FM2+ socket, the unlocked quad-core A6-7650K.


Featuring four Steamroller CPU cores working at 3.3GHz base and 3.7GHz Turbo clocks, the new A6-7650K has an unlocked mutliplier and comes with Radeon R7 class graphics. The integrated R7 Radeon graphics inside the new A6-7650 feature 6 Compute Units (CUs) which adds up to a total of 384 Stream Processors, which is pretty much the same GPU seen in the previously available A6-7600 APU.




In addition to the new A6-7650K, AMD also unveiled more details regarding the new A68H chipset, the latest addition to the A-series chipset lineup which will fit nicely between the A78 and the entry-level A58 chipset with slightly lower feature set. While still having a single PCI-Express x16 slot as the A78, the new A68H chipset will only have four SATA 6Gbps ports and two USB 3.0 ports, down from six SATA 6Gbps and four USB 3.0 ports on the A78 chipset and eight SATA 6Gbps and four USB 3.0 on the A88X high-end FM2/FM2+ socket chipset.




The RAID support is also the same as on the A78 chipset including support for RAID 0, 1 and 10.

The price for the new A6-7650K APU is set at US $105, which puts it between the higher-clocked A10-7700K, priced at US $129, and the entry-level A8-7600 with US $99 price tag. The aforementioned A68H chipset based motherboards are already listed all around Europe with a price set anywhere between €40 to €70, depending on the included features.
