AMD Trinity desktop questions

Just planing my next purchases, I have done some research but I could find the info. If someone could help I would be thankful.


Release Date?
4 core\ 2 modules?
GCN (GPU architecture)?
15%+ than liano (maybe around 70% of a i5 2500?)?
65W or 95W?
Better encoding\decoding of video.


If so, it seems a nice budget system for multimedia\audio edition\creation!


Thanks
 
Good question Op and i would wanna know the same thing as well.

I have turned into a bit of a electronic hippy since i got my i3 2100 and would love to know how its gpu performance will be compared to the i3 2100 which i would think is its closest competitor.
 
I've heard "late may" and "mid year" as potential release dates
the performance is the big question
we really won't know until it's benchmarked

AMD's track record lately with percentage gain promises hasn't been the best.
 
It looks like a good product. The reviews will tell though when it is made available. I am hoping to use the 17 watt part for a silent HTPC.

Click to expand...

We all hoped the same thing about llano
I'd be surprised to see 17 watts in anything outside of mini laptop/mobile devices
 
Thanks, not as good as I hoped (GPU) and probably later than I wanted too.

It still seems a great CPU for the segment bu tmaybe not for multimedia oriented tasks (?)...

I actually view the use of VLIW4 as a good thing for this iteration. While GCN is seriously neat tech, in terms of performance per die area, VLIW4 is more efficient (remember, it is a design focused more on graphics performance than general purpose). With the serious limitations on how big the GPU section of trinity can be, this move makes sense (on top of the fact that Trinity is to be built on GloFo's 32nm process and the Radeon 7000 (well the cards using GCN that is) is built on TMSC's 28nm process, it would have been a non-trivial process to port over. It would make zero sense at all to try to launch a brand new architecture across 2 separate nodes concurrently. That said, you can count on the successor to Trinity to be using some GCN derivative as it's GPU core. Oh, and don't forget, while VLIW4 isn't exactly Fermi in terms of GPGPU capabilities, it is no slouch and fits in with the workloads you could expect to see in a system in the space Trinity is going to fill.
 
vs llano flagship to flagship
trinity flag 40% gpu preformance over 3870k
trinity flag 10-20% cpu preformance over 3870k
or so claims amd
