AMD is adding a new member to its 7th-generation Bristol Ridge A-Series line of APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) in the form of the AMD A6-9400. The new APU with the part number AD9400AGABBOX retains the Excavator microarchitecture and comes equipped with two Bristol Ridge cores paired with 1MB of L2 cache. Like its kin, the chip is expected to be fabbed by Taiwanese foundry TSMC on the 28nm node. In terms of core speeds, Mindfactory lists the A6-9400 with a 3.7GHz boost clock.
 
German retailer Mindfactory listed the AMD A6-9400 with a €34.09 price tag with value-added tax (VAT) included. After deducting the 19 percent VAT rate, the price falls to €28.65, which roughly translates to $32.50 (~£24.40). We also found the AMD A6-9400 at Zones for $35.99. Hence, it's safe to assume that the chip will cost roughly $35. According to Mindfactory, the AMD will release the A6-9400 on March 20, so we won't have to wait long for final pricing.

    Interesting, at this price point it will be great for extreme entry level where the only option is the pitiful celeron line on Intel.
    $35 on a compatible motherboard? Yeah its a start at least, sure bulldozers time is long and gone but here it may be a surprisingly good value.
