AMD Kaveri slides leaked
 

Hot Hardware has got its paws on leaked slides of AMD's next-generation Kaveri APU.

The chip is important to AMD's recovery and will incorporate architectural changes to the Bulldozer CPU AMD launched two years ago and the first chip to use a graphics core derived from AMD's GCN Graphics Core Next architecture.

A strong Kaveri launch could give AMD back some momentum in the enthusiast business which is something it has lost lately.

The slides indicate that Kaveri's Steamroller CPU core separates some of the core functions that Bulldozer unified. It should improve the chip's front-end execution. It can decode four instructions per core or 16 instructions per quad-core module.

The downside is the clockspeed which has slid by 10 per cent. The 10-7850K reportedly has a base clock of 3.7GHz and a maximum Turbo Mode of 4GHz compared to a 4.1GHz base / 4.4GHz Turbo for the A10-6800K.
