Just like in the other threads here and here, we propose our own SKUs. This time it is for Socket AM1.
So here are two of mine:
1. AM1 dual core @ 2.05+ GHz with 128 sp GCN iGPU @ 600 MHz.
Reason for proposing this SKU:
---- Intel's J1800 dual core desktop atom is faster than the existing AM1 socket dual core Sempron 2650. Unfortunately, even if AMD were to boost the dual core Sempron 2650 clocks to 2.05 Ghz it would only roughly tie the J1800. So to make the dual core AM1 a better value, I would also like to see the 128 sp iGPU increase from 400 MHz run to the full 600 MHz (ie, the same clocks Athlon 5150 and Athlon 5350 iGPUs run at). Based on power consumption figures I have seen for Sempron 2650, boosting clocks to these levels should be no problem and TDP should be below 25 watts.
2. AM1 30th Anniversary unlocked quad core @ 2.4 GHz with 128 sp GCN @ 800 MHz, 1866 memory controller. (This is basically a "K" SKU of the 25 watt Beema A6-6310 --> http://www.anandtech.com/show/7974/...tecture-a10-micro-6700t-performance-preview/2 for the AM1 socket)
Reason for prosposing this SKU:
---- I would like to see a better performing flagship AM1 at some lower promotional price. Furthermore, I would hope the retailers are encouraged by the processor's value to make some nice sale priced mail order processor/motherboard combos like we have seen with the Intel 20th Anniversary Pentium G3258. Maybe the distinguishing factor between the G3258 processor/motherboard combos and the 30th Anniversary AM1 processor/combos could be the Mini-ITX form factor. (From what I have seen all Pentium G3258 processor/motherboard combos up to this point have either been uATX or ATX, not Mini-ITX)
