"As the successor to last year's Richland APUs, Kaveri has been updated with new CPU cores based on AMD's Steamroller architecture (Richland uses Piledriver cores). The Radeon R7 series GPU has also been integrated, though the 384 SPU version on most Kaveri APUs isn't much different than the A10-6700 and A10-6800's Radeon HD 8670D. Kaveri is AMD's fourth-gen APU while Steamroller is third-gen CPU technology that is supposedly 10% faster per-clock and per-core than Piledriver. This is achieved by moving from Global Foundries' 32nm High-K Metal Gate SOI process to its bulk 28nm SHP (Super High Performance) process. However, despite moving from 32nm to 28nm, Kaveri's 245mm2 die is actually ~4% larger than Richland's 236mm2 part, though transistor density has increased 85% from 1.3 billion to a whopping 2.41 billion." |
