There's a countdown for the announcement of the ULP family of next-gen AMD cores.

Websites are pointing to Beema being announced, but Mullins (2W SDP for tablets) might be shown too.

It'll be interesting to know how the Puma cores compare to latest-generation ARM and Intel Bay Trail Atom cores.


It'll also be interesting to see a Radeon vs. Adreno in direct competition. Former ULP ATI engineering versus former desktop ATI engineering.





What kind of iGPU can we expect in Mullins?
TDP/SDP seems close to the highest-performing versions of Tegra K1 and Snapdragon 805.
Maybe a 4 CU / 256 core iGPU at ~600-700MHz? 4 ROPs, 16 TMUs?

Die-shot looks very very similar to Kabini. Makes me think we are looking at the same GPU configuration (2 CU, 128 core), just with higher clocks compared to Kabini at same TDP.
 
According to AMD perf./W should be doubled: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7514/amd-2014-mobile-apu-update-beema-and-mullins
There should be no high-level changes in the unit counts. The biggest changes should be in power management and clock-ability of the cat cores. And probably some HSA additions in GPU.

There were demos, in which a passive cooled Mullins clocked up to 2,5GHz in Turbo: http://www.golem.de/news/hands-on-m...ablets-mit-passiver-kuehlung-1403-104850.html

In desktop/netbook environments Beema should be able to do stable 2,4GHz on all 4 cores: http://www.mitasworld.it/Lenovo-Not...AN-Win8.1-64-1J-CCR/product.html/eid_3092143/ ... maybe at just 15W TDP?
 
That A10 micro 6700T would be really nice for a media center , to bad I can't get it for a desktop. 4 core max to 2.2ghz at only 4.5W .

Much better than those new desktop chips they just released kabini
