Default AMD's newest chip

12 cores - 8 however are video.

Without a defining game does that definitively mean it's another quad
core?

Yes, it's a quad-core.

And this is old news. I've had a A10-7850 APU since the spring.

Ah. Read a recent article and switched to a review and forgotten I'd
switched. Sorry about that.

No apology necessary :-) They've added a couple of new APUs to the
range recently.

How many watts does it burn up with 12 cores going hammer and tongs?

Geeky. America's server racks are the most intensive cosummer of its
nuclear/fossil/hydo fuel sources. Not that 8 graphic cores are in
need variously to shuffle bandwidths, though billions of dollars and
30-percentile returns are astronomical figures for cumulative amounts.

I wonder if this AMD trickery would be applicable to HPC clusters.
There you typically have all cores going 100% on some parallel crunching.
On a desktop, you tend to get different loads on each core, so you can
do the turbo/overdrive on some and low-power on others.
