AMD has new CPUs for its embedded line.

This needs to be retitled. They are new APUs, not CPUS. To me...a CPU needs to be unburdened by a integrated GPU

Read the article again, friend

 

[tomsworkshop]

they are CPU bundle with graphic card.

 

[IndignantSkeptic]

Why are we still on dual and quad core?!! Is it because anything multithreaded should run on a GPGPU and anything not multithreaded should run on a single core CPU, and they are only doing dual and quad core for certain legacy software?

The program combines one of AMD's new R-series CPUs with DISCRETE Radeon E6460 or E6760 graphics.

Do people even read before posting anymore? - Evolution of the internet dwellers.

[quotemsg=11399853,0,252514][quotemsg=11399018,0,923725]Yes but no no no, come on AMD people make with the new FX line daddy needs an upgrade ... sigh ... [/quotemsg]

I really feel bad for the people who have stuck by AMD and the fact AMD can't make a quality CPU anymore. Really pathetic. [/quotemsg]

Never felt the need to go intel just because I couldnt justify the cost to myself. Now I have a 3570k powering my machine, go figure ay =)

The i5-4670K isn't a CPU then?

Face it, it's just marketing.

Does this mean Steamroller chips will not be called FX ?

These are embedded chips. While they may end up being based on Steamroller or Piledriver, they aren't high end.

why hasn't toms got a article/review of the AMD fx-9370 or fx-9590? Other sites have em so.. just old news?

In case there is still confusion, these are embedded chips are low-TDP (17-35w) intended for things like NAS controllers the require x86, or other systems that require a reasonable amount of compute power.

But after reading the TPU source, I don't quite understand what other embedded applications would demand or benefit from a discrete video card. The first thing that occurs to me is something like a video game or slot machine. But they don't really enumerate specifics.

I'm not a big fan, but digital billboards and store signage seems to be quite a burgeoning market ...

Embedded CPUs are used in everything from billboards and slot machines to cars and missles.

Hehe, AMD-Fusion powered missiles...

 

[Someone Somewhere]

A missile that needs a GPU? :0

For ze floating point detonation calculations of course!
