AMD APU-13 Event - Next Gen APUs On Agenda

Leaked AMD slides suggest that AMD's next-generation APU's will hit the shelves early next year (ASUS FM2+ motherboards on sale support current and these future APUs), however the company has announced these APUs are on the agenda for its upcoming APU-13 event, which is set to take place on November 11th.

Additionally, AMD is going to combine the APU-13 event with the AMD Developer Summit, where there will be lots of folks talking about these upcoming APUs, OpenCL acceleration on GPUs and the all important HSA (Heterogenous System Architecture).

Both events sound quite promising and we will certainly have an eye on it and keep you updated. Lets hope there will be some great announcements.
