AMD announces dual-core Llano APUs for under $70

AMD today announced its first dual-core Llano APUs, the A4-330 and A4-3400, extending the lineup beyond the five models currently available and bringing the entry-level desktop APU price down to just $70. Both chips integrate a Radeon HD 6410D GPU with 160 shaders and 1 MB L2 cache while maintaining a 65W TDP.
The main difference between these chips is in their CPU and GPU clock frequencies. The A4-3300 operates at 2.5 GHz and its GPU is clocked at 443 MHz, while the A4-3400's CPU core runs at 2.7 GHz and has a 600 MHz GPU frequency. You can see AMD's complete Llano lineup and their respective specs in the table below:

Model	GPU	TDP	CPU Cores	Base/Turbo Clock	GPU Cores	GPU Clock	Price
AMD A8-3850	Radeon HD 6550D	100W	4	2.9GHz	400	600MHz	$135
AMD A8-3800	Radeon HD 6550D	65W	4	2.4/2.7GHz	400	600MHz	$129
AMD A6-3650	Radeon HD 6530D	100W	4	2.6GHz	320	443MHz	$115
AMD A6-3600	Radeon HD 6530D	65W	4	2.1/2.4GHz	320	443MHz	$109
AMD A6-3500	Radeon HD 6530D	65W	3	2.1/2.4GHz	320	443MHz	$89
AMD A4-3400	Radeon HD 6410D	65W	2	2.7GHz	160	600MHz	$69
AMD A4-3300	Radeon HD 6410D	65W	2	2.5GHz	160	443MHz	$64

In terms of features you can expect an integrated USB 3.0 controller, support for AMD Steady Video for removing jitters and shakes while watching video, and AMD Dual Graphics for users who want to pair the integrated GPU with a discrete Radeon HD 6000 Series graphics card for a performance boost. There's no Turbo Core supported on either A4 model.
Both chips should work in all existing Socket-FM1 motherboards. Official prices for A4-Series 3300 and 3400 models are $64 and $69 in 1K quantities, so you can expect to pay slightly more when they hit retailers later this month.
