AMD A8-3870 Llano APU Coming in Q4 2011 With Unlocked Multipliers
Legit Reviews has reviewed both the AMD A8-3850 and the A6-3650 desktop ‘Llano’ Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) and found them both to be very capable processors. It appears that a presentation slide has leaked out from AMD that shows an A8-3870 APU with unlocked multipliers is due out in Q4 2011! This processor has the same Radeon HD 6550D GPU inside, but is said to feature an increased processor clock speed of 3.1GHz. The AMD A8-3850 runs at 2.9GHz and the A6-3650 runs at 2.6GHz. AMD didn’t have to increase the max TDP on the A8-3870 as it shows up as being 100W TDP on the slide!
AMD is planning to increase the number of Fusion APU models before the end of the year. According to the information we receive in the company the Fusion-A series has the ability to scale higher and the flagship model will soon be the A8-3870. This Fusion APU will be the fastest processor and this processor will also be multiplier unlocked to appeal to overclocks looking to get the most speed.
