AMD Godavari APUs Confirmed, FM2+ Compatible With BIOS Update

The successor to AMD's Kaveri APU line-up, lawmaking named "Godavari" has been confirmed. The new APUs will be compatible with FM2+ socket boards after a unproblematic BIOS update.

Godavari APUs will supplant the electric current Kaveri line-up in the summertime. The new APUs are based on the same 28nm Kaveri silicon but with enhanced clock speeds and overclocking potential. Godavari maintains the aforementioned Steamroller CPU architecture from Kaveri and the same GCN GPU design. So it's quite alike to what Richland was to Trinity. An updated and enhanced design of the same silicon. This also means that the new APUs will be compatible with current socket FM2+ motherboards with a simple BIOS update.

AMD Godavari APUs Confirmed, FM2+ Compatible With BIOS Update

You'll have to wait until 2022 to get your easily on AMD'southward new APU designs. Featuring the company's make new loftier performance x86 CPU Architecture code named Zen. As well as the company's new Arctic Islands graphics architecture to succeed the venerable GCN blueprint. All built on Samsung'southward cutting border 14nm FinFET process node. And featuring stacked Loftier Bandwidth Memory / HBM for the first time always on an APU.

Thankfully if you're looking to buy an APU on a mobile platform you won't have to wait every bit long to enjoy AMD's brand new creations. Carrizo volition exist coming out in the summer on a range of new notebooks, fanless designs and all-in-one desktops. Carrizo volition deliver the largest power efficiency leap ever of any loftier performance APU in the company'due south history.

While Carrizo is incredibly power efficient, some of the design decisions that enable that efficiency hateful that Carrizo won't make much sense in high performance desktops. Due to its limited frequency at the acme terminate of the TDP range compared to Kaveri.

Which is why for the desktop AMD will be introducing Godavari.  AMD managed to amend CPU clock speeds slightly with the new Godavari APUs only significantly ameliorate GPU clock speeds. The integrated R7 GPU inside A10-8850K for example volition get up to 856MHz a 19% increase over the iGPU of the 7850K. Which can only go as loftier as 720MHz.

All Godavari APUs volition support DDR3 memory frequencies of upwards to 2133MHz out of the box. While 2400MHz DDR3 back up isn't "officially" stated, it volition exist achievable with almost Godavari APU models as was the case with Kaveri. Fast DDR3 modules are necessary to keep the beefy integrated GPU fed. So the faster the DDR3 modules used the amend GPU performance yous will get.
Here'south the full Godavari line-up that was leaked by VR-Zone.
