Japanese eTailer Hermitage Akihabara leaked a few picutres, where there are different screenshots as well as a photo taken from AMDs upcoming A10 Kaveri APU. Hermitage Akhabara decided to run Cinebench R15 on a setup, that has been equipped with an A10-7850K. Other than that it can be consideres as confirmed, AMD will bundle this APU with a copy of Battlefield 4.

AMD has announced that its dual AMD FirePro professional graphics solutions, including the AMD FirePro D300, D500 and the D700 deliver unprecedented level of performance for the new Mac Pro which recently and finally started to sell from Apple.com.

After what felt like an endless line of Catalyst 13.11 Beta drivers, AMD has now released its new Catalyst 13.12 WHQL driver that brings support for new products, Crossfire scaling in couple of gaming titles, new AMD Enduro profiles for certain game titles, support for AMD Crossfire frame pacing and long list of resolved issues.

AMD has now officially launched the Radeon R7 260 graphics card that should fill the market gap between the US $139 priced Radeon R7 260X and a much cheaper US $89 priced Radeon R7 250. Based on the same 28nm Bonaire GPU as the R7 260X, the R7 260 features slightly less stream processors and lower GPU clock as well as a lower US $110 price tag.

According to a report over at Anandtech.com, it appears that AMD is quite busy in making the new fix for frame-pacing issues with Radeon-based GPU running in Eyefinity setups. AMD already issued one frame-pacing fix for Radeon graphics cards based on the Graphics CoreNext architecture so we are quite sure that this one will be decent as well.

It looks like AMD is planning to make the upcoming Kaveri processors a tad bit more appealing to customers by adding a copy of Battlefield 4 to the bundle. Bundling games with hardware is quite prominent these days and we certainly don't complain about this trend.

Although it is still clear that we will not see a new FX-Series CPU before the end of next year as according to a new roadmap, AMD has no plans to introduced the FX-Series CPU based on Steamroller CPU architecture, the FX-series CPUs are here to stay and will not be EOLed.

Although there have been quite a few rumors regarding the same subject before, the newest leaked AMD product roadmap basically confirms that the AMD FX Vishera will be the last line of FX Series CPUs from AMD. It appears that the company is completely shifting its focus to APUs.

AMD has released a new version of its Catalyst 13.11 Beta driver, the Catalayst 13.11 Beta9.5 that will bring some fixes for recently released graphics cards as well as some improvements in frame pacing and AMD Crossfire configurations in certain games.

According to a report over at Computerbase.de it appears that we might see custom-design R9 290 graphics card a bit earlier than custom R9 290X. On the other hand, according to our sources, it will depend on partners and how much supply can they actually get as some partners might have both custom cards ready by mid-December.

When AMD released their new Radeon R9 graphics cards nobody really knew what was going to happen with the great Never-Settle-Forever game bundle from AMD. After some time, AMD announced, that there will definitely be a game bundle with their new cards, and they also lined out which games will be included. But still, it took until today until the bundles got finally available like for example in the German online shops Caseking and Mindfactory.

Although the most of the upcoming AMD Kaveri A-Series lineup was already detailed earlier, we now have first specification of the A10-7850K and the A10-7700K Kaveri A-Series APUs that should replace previously available Richland-based A10-6800K and the Trinity A10-5800K APUs.

AMD finally managed to get its A10-6790K socket FM2 APU based on 32nm Richland architecture on some retail shelves. As it was the case with previously available A10-6700 and the A10-6800K, the new A10-6790K, which by the way fits between the aforementioned APUs, is also a quad-core APU that features the same Radeon HD 8670D GPU part and same 100W TDP rating.

According to a report from VR-Zone.com, AMD is quite serious about squeezing two fully enabled Hawaii GPUs on a single PCB that will be a future dual-GPU flagship currently known for its codename "Vesuvius".

AMD is definitely keeping the track with all the newly released games and its Catalyst graphics driver as it has just released the Beta version, the Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.4. The new driver should improve Crossfire scaling in the recently released Call of Duty: Ghosts game as well as fix some other issues seen in some other games.

A few days ago we reported, based on findings of Speedy1612 from PC Games Hardware forum, that the R9 290 can be unlocked to a fully fledged R9 290X via BIOS update. Apparently it looks like the latest mass production models are not unlockable anymore.

AMD has announced that is was selected for an award of US $3.1 million to do a research project associated with the US Department of Energy (DOE) Extreme-Scale Computing research and Development Program, known as "DesignForward." The new DOE award is an expansion of work of previous two-year award AMD received in 2012 called FastForward which aimed to accelerate research needed to support extreme-scale computing while DesignForward will bring research in interconnect architectures needed for data transfer capabilities in those same environments.

While it clearly announced that Battlefield 4 will be bundled with and Radeon R9 series graphics card, it appears that this will not be the case, at least according to AMD's statement released today.

During the AMD APU13 conference held in San Jose, Johan Andresson, the main guy behind DICE's Frostbite game engine revealed more details regarding AMD's Mantle API, including upcoming Mantle update for Battlefield 4 as well as future support.

AMD revealed some slides that show details regarding the Mantle API itself and the way it reduces API overhead and allow developers to use the full potential of the GCN-based GPUs.
