AMD

AMD has introduced a new member to its line of A-Series desktop processors, one that's optimised for Windows 10. The company is aiming the APU at mainstream family and office PCs on the back of its touted productivity and gaming capabilities.

A Kaveri refresh part, the A8-7670K packs a number of features designed to help you get the most out of Microsoft's upcoming OS, which launches on July 29.

The A8-7670K, which AMD is using to square up to Intel's entry-level Core i3 4150, slots in-between the A10-7850K and the A8-7650K in terms of price and performance.

It shares a number of features with those APUs, including DirectX 12/Mantle support, HSA, FreeSync, Virtual Super Resolution and Dual Graphics support.

The A8-7670K is available to buy now at US$117.99 (around £75, or AUS$158).
