The A10 is the big one, with four "steamroller" cores with a boost / base CPU frequency of 4.0 / 3.6 GHz. It's got eight GPU cores, and its GPU frequency is 757MHz. These are fairly similar stats to the existing A10-7850K, but the big difference is that the TDP class has been reduced down to 65W from 95W. It'll be available for $118.

So no throttle issues with this one? From 95w to 65w
Not a bad price either

Nothing is much interesting than X4 845. We need review especially compared to 840k and i3s.

Excavator cores, interesting indeed
Might put together a small box with this cpu and a GTX 950 for my son

Well, more like, it's a baby brother to the 7870k, and they were able to bump the TDP down to 65W thanks to the improved voltage characteristics of GV-A1 stepping.

It'll probably still throttle just like every other Kaveri out there.
