AMD (SKU) Specifications

As of 5 June 2013, the AMD Richland series of APUs consists of five seperate processors; two from the A10 line, two from the A8 line, and one from the A6 line. Eventually, more processors will likely be released, specifically in the lower end A6 and even the A4 lines of processors. The TDP points of the third generation of APUs stays pretty much the same as the previous generation. This is not surprising, especially considering the new processors are built on mostly existing architecture.

Here are the current APU Richland models:
