AMD's Carrizo APU A10-8890K CPU-Z Leaked - Six Excavator Cores with 95W TDP on the 20nm Node

[Rumor][Debunked: Faux] [Run into comment below for more information] The showtime CPUZ shot of the much awaited side by side generation APU has finally leaked out. The source is someone I have never used earlier just the site in question is of very high ranking. Nonetheless, I am nevertheless going to tag this as rumor considering of a single inconsistency mentioned below. The website is Guru3D .

AMD'due south Flagship 20nm Carrizo APU A10-8890K - 95W TDP, Hexa Cadre and four.four Ghz Clock

Now a CPUZ from a reliable source is pretty much what whatever news business firm worth their salt hopes for. And this appears to be just that. The first thing I noticed is that AMD is continuing the standard APU nomenclature and the new Carrizo APU will exist chosen the A10-8890K. The A10 prefix indicates its part in the A-10 Elite series and 1000 suffix indicates that this particular APU volition have an unlocked multiplier. Now if y'all have a look at the logo yous will notice that it says "Elite Hexa Core", which means that Carrizo APU has 6 cores and considering the TDP (95W) and core clock of 4.4 Ghz thats pretty damn impressive. Take a look at the CPUZ yourself:

Now this particular APU appears to be based on the FM3 socket which is supposedly non coming till 2022, unless that report was completely off (or this CPUZ is imitation). We were supposed to be getting the Carrizo APU on the notebook platform soon enough however, and this provides us with some much needed insight into that. Now co-ordinate to AMD the CPU cores are actually going to be Excavator cores, which is the terminal revision of Bulldozer (and probably the last CMT architecture). Nosotros should expect some decent IPC gains from the new cores and the additional core count volition ofcourse assist overall compute. Hither is a comparison table of the Kaveri, Richland and Carrizo APU flagships:

AMD A10 Elite Series APU Comparison Nautical chart - WCCFTech
	AMD A10-8890K 'Carrizo'	AMD A10-7850K 'Kaveri'	AMD A10-6800K 'Richland'
Cores	6/half-dozen	4/four	4/four
Turbo Core three.0	Yes (?)	Yep	Yes
Base Clock	4.1 Ghz (?)	iii.7 GHz	four.ane GHz
Turbo Clock	4.4 Ghz	4.0 GHz	four.4 GHz
L2 Enshroud	3 MB L2	4 MB L2	iv MB L2
Unlocked Blueprint	Yes	Yes	Yep
Graphics Core	GCN Radeon R7	GCN Radeon R7	Hard disk 8000
GPU Cores	?	512 Cores	384 Cores
GPU Clock	?	720 MHz	844 MHz
TDP	95W	95W	100W

Notice that the nomenclature is taking a gradual increase. The values from this item CPUZ take been entered into the nautical chart. Values that are '(?)' indicate speculated values and values that are '?' indicate unknown values. I still cant believe we are looking at an actual HexaCore APU, if AMD couples with with the correct amount of GPU cores, we could exist looking at the kickoff real APU to intermission the HTPC bulwark. However, i affair does bug me about this CPUZ shot. Annotation the readings at the cache, level 2 to be precise. Information technology says 3x1024 KBytes. Thats just 3MB of L3 Cache right there. For 6 Cores that is a very low amount of cache. So either this screen is simulated after all, or, AMD might be working some mysterious magic where the retentivity is concerned. I am talking HBM and the likes. Stacked DRAM would most certainly lift the burden of L2 Enshroud and would explain the shortage of the same just I will leave that up to y'all guys to make up one's mind.

#AMD Carrizo Leaked CPUZ. Dont know if legit or not, but damn, that looks impressive. http://t.co/LIDp7GtIEq
