AMD's shipping its fastest desktop chip with an integrated GPU
AMD is shattering a speed record with the A10-7890K processor chip, its fastest yet with integrated graphics.
The chip sits at the top of all AMD A-series PC processors and is now shipping for $165.
Users will be able to build gaming desktops for under US$500 with the chip, which can handle 3D and high-definition gaming, AMD said.
The chip, based on the Godavari architecture, has a horsepower of 1.02 teraflops, marginally faster than AMD's A10-7870K.
The new chip's performance is similar to that of the 57-core Xeon Phi 3120P supercomputing chip that Intel shipped in the second quarter of 2013.
