Richland is set to replace AMD’s Virgo platform, powered by Trinity processors, and this change will happen in June 2013, most likely coinciding with Computex 2013.

AMD has just launched the first batch of Richland mobile APUs and we still have to see some notebook designs hitting the market. We wrote about mobile Richland APUs here.

As of late last year Desktop Richland was always set to launch in June 2013 and the fastest of them is the A10 6800K, clocked at 4.1GHz and 4.4 with Turbo. It also features Radeon HD 8670D graphics that run at 844 MHz. This is the fastest Richland part and it comes unlocked, ready to replace the current AMD A10 5800K. In Europe, the A10 5800K currently sells for €112, while in US the same CPU sells for $129.00 (boxed).

The alpha dog A10 6800K is followed by A10 6700, A8 6600K (Unlocked) and A8 6500. AMD has a mix of 100W and 65W quad-core Richland desktop SKUs. There will be a single A6 6400K (Unlocked) SKU and the A4 6300, both dual-cores with 65W TDP.

Production ready samples were churned out in late January, while volume production is scheduled for late March 2013. The announcement was always scheduled for June 2013 and Richland last through most of 2013, until Kaveri with 28nm Steamroller comes on line.

That A10 6700 65W parts looks the best in that line-up. It will offer pretty good bang for the buck for those looking for a decent all in one chip(CPU+GPU).

Would these be a downgrade for someone with a FX6100? I care more about single threaded performance and low power consumption. I game sometimes but most of the time my computer is idle.

Mobile richland already launched. ANd don't forget that Richland is Trinity optimized, not entirely new core they need to milk forever. If Kaveri (in any form) is ready for Q4/Q1 they will launch it .

Trinity even would probably be an upgrade from a 6-core Bulldozer in most tasks, Richland even more so, and Kaveri absolutely.
