AMD has revealed that it is permanently reducing the prices of its A-Series APUs.
The new list of ‘Suggested Etail Prices’ represents price cuts in the region of 20 per cent on many of the processors.
For example, the A10-7850K, which was originally priced at $179, has been cut down to $143.
The A6-7400K was previously priced at $84, has now also been reduced to $58.
The company told Hexus that the new pricing offers: “Builders and upgraders the best opportunity yet to grab a new twelve compute core (4CPU + 8GPU) A-series APU with HSA features (hUMA/hQ), full hardware support for DirectX 11.2, close to the metal API support (AMD Mantle), AMD TrueAudio, OpenCL 1.2, and OpenGL 4.4."
