AMD released high end Kaveri parts which offered increased IPC and significantly increased iGPU performance along with new Steamroller architecture that patched some of AMD module problems. Those are expensive high end APUs that have seen lot of interest, but limited adoption due to high price.
Now it seems that retail availabiluty of mid-end Kaveri is planned at Q4 2014 and low-end at who knows when (2015?!), which is very late considering high end parts released in January + that Intel will release unlocked Pentiums soon + low-end Broadwell parts will be available somewhere in 2015. Considering aggresive Intel ramp-up propably sooner rather than later.
Low & mid end Kaveri parts can potentially be very interesting depending on how binned they'll be and their price.
Do you think AMD have not shot themself in the foot by planning to release them so late?
