AMD is releasing some new SKUs in their processor and APU line-up and ranges in Q1/Q2 2016 alongside some motherboard chipset improvements. APUs wise you will see A10-7860K, A6-7470K, and Athlon X4 84... AMD A10-7860K, A6-7470K, and Athlon X4 845 and some Wrath bundle!
This is overall good news, I'm very curious to see what the excavator performance is like, perhaps compared to piledriver that is the 8370.
I love the new cooler the old one was kinda sad, I don't know about godaveri apus but the 5800k I currently still have has huge throttling issues even with a 240mm aio.
The new board from ASUS with 970 chipset is Asus 970 Aura https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/ In the AMD powerpoint slide is listed from Asus an old board M5A97 Either is a new revision of the M5A97 either the 970 aura is missing from list...
It would be good to see a quad core AMD Athlon X 845 benchmarked against some other AMD and Intel chips, all clocked at the same speed. It would give a nice IPC comparison as well as potentially giving a clue about what Zen performance will be like.
