Please check the previous post, it says "up to quad-core. So I guess, A10 would have 4. ;)

Trinity yields are good

On track for release on Q1 2012. Pretty good news from AMD's perspective, should also give an insight to Piledriver performance. Hopefully, yields would improve for BD/PD also.

nice find skud.one good step for trinity's success.lets hope things will go like this only for trinity and i guess they will use BD for trinity as we are not seeing any PD right now or is it that PD is already made and they are not releasing it?

After the experience of BD, it's better for AMD not to utter anything until the real thing is on the plate. Let's see. ;)

^^that's true but for that not only AMD was responsible other websites were also responsible which went on building the hype though AMD should have stopped them.and also it looks like a bit hype for trinity is also building up but AMD have not told anything.

FM1 and FM2 are incompatible. I don't mind it actually. Was expecting it.

This can be nonsense too.

well, so quad core meaning 2 module Piledriver core. I'm hoping for something good this time.

Die shot of Trinity APU, bigger than expected.

AMD Demonstrates Trinity APU, Its Own Thunderbolt-Alternative | techPowerUp


Shown to the CES crowd was a mind-boggling demo. The public were first shown what appeared to be an ATX desktop connected to two monitors, one monitor running a DIRT 3 DirectX 11 game demo at high-quality settings, and another screeen revealing the APU to be running GPU-accelerated video transcoding. No discrete graphics was used, it's just the embedded HD 7000 at play/work. If that alone didn't raise a few eyebrows, the AMD representative removed the lid of the ATX desktop case to which those two monitors were connected, to reveal a 14-inch laptop inside doing all the work. And there's more - the laptop's main screen wasn't idle, it was running a high-definition video playback. Whatever synthetic benchmarks end up telling about Trinity, its real world performance does impress!

Here's the video:-

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

I think there's nothing in the video which Llano can't do, may be not so fluid. Multimedia is definitely the strong point of AMD, particularly with the on-die graphics, so a Trinity running Dirt 3, transcoding video and playing a HD clip - all at a same time is pretty possible in my opinion. Hopefully, they would include the on-die graphics in their Piledriver chip more hopefully, it will take care of BD's not so good floating point performance.

I think, now that they are no more in a race with Intel according to their own submission, this may turn out to be good for them. Customers need good product at a better price, not the best product. If the yields remain good, AMD will sell these APUs really well.

Ya, Ico saw that LOL.

Skud. thanks for the review. Sadly in most cases they don't hit Indian market. Wish this time AMD will market it differently.
