It's 1.8 GHz. Initial reports said 2 GHz but all the laptop listings I've seen have said 1.8 GHz.
Seems to me that the A6-6410 might just be an A4-6310 with turbo enabled for the CPU and GPU. Makes me wonder if we'll see lower end turbo parts a month or two later like what happened with Bay...
I'd forgotten about this... the guide for the HP Touchsmart 10 already lists the E1 Micro-6200T (1.0/1.4 GHz, 300 MHz):

The current model uses the awful 1.0 GHz/225 Mhz A4-1200.
Thankfully Beema uses the same socket as Kabini and fits within the same TDP range so we should be seeing the existing smaller laptops getting upgrades fairly soon:
Medion Akoya (10.1")
ASUS F102BA (10.1")
HP Touchsmart 10z (10.1")
Lenovo IdeaPad S215 (11.6")
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E145 (11.6")...
Sales and profit wise, mostly in mobile because that's where they overlap. We already know - roughly - how they stack up against one another in performance.
My impression is that with such a large die and a top bin that only competes with Intel's (cheaper and smaller) low end, AMD won't...
I'm curious about this. My anecdotal evidence is that of the 10 AMD laptops my local electronics store sells, 9 of them are based on Kabini.
Also, how do they compare in cost? Kabini was 107mm2 and Richland was 248mm2. Beema and Kaveri are similar, and they're both on GlobalFoundries' 28nm.
The Geekbench 3 scores are similar...
A8-5545M: Single thread - 1052, Multi thread - 2826
A6-5200: Single thread - 1026, Multi thread - 3296
The small cores have been encroaching on the big cores for a while now:
Mobile Kaveri will have to improve significantly to pull away.
Looking at the Xbox One die...
What about approximately half of that?
4 Puma cores
6 GCN CUs
16MB eSRAM (a la Crystalwell)
170-180mm2
I have no idea how 16MB of SRAM would fare though.
30% faster in single threaded tasks. 15% faster in multithreaded if Kaveri can only hit its base clocks but it might be a wash if it can go higher than that.
Yes, CPU-wise it's very close to the A6-6310 but with a 30% higher turbo. Especially considering Steamroller and Jaguar/Puma have...
The big cores are dying because they suck, not because users and OEMs are confused about the naming scheme.
Mobile Richland is a 248mm2 chip whose top bin barely beats the much smaller Core i3 while consuming more power. Think about that for a moment.
Beema only competes with Intel's lower end...
