Advanced Micro Devices pins a lot of hopes onto its Steamroller micro-architecture as well as Kaveri accelerated processing unit since both could significantly improve competitive positions of the company. Unfortunately for the Sunnyvale, California-based chip designer, Kaveri, the first product to take advantage of Steamroller, could face delay in mass production.
AMD has implied that it is on-track to start shipments of its A-series “Kaveri” APUs in mass quantities sometimes in Q4 2013. However, the company will not be able to meet its schedules and will only provide “two A10 and one A8 APU pilot production samples” to its customers in December, reports DigiTimes web-site citing market rumours.
Sampling in December means that there will be no mass-produced Kaveri chips this calendar year and that actual products will likely reach the market towards the end of Q1 2014, or even early in Q2 2014. Given the fact that Kaveri was supposed to replace code-named Trinity APUs this summer, it is obvious that it faces massive delay. Kaveri is expected to be replaced by Carizo APU in 2015.

I don't believe the rumours. Lisa Su stated at Computex that OEMs had already sampled Kaveri "several months ago" and "it will be shipping in 2013". The quotes are found exactly at the 26:00 minute mark of her presentation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueHW0bJuZPQ
I suspect that Kaveri will be ready in time for Windows 8.1 (with HSA support) and Christmas stockings. This rumour of a delay follows on from the one last year that said Steamroller was cancelled. It was crap. And so is this one.

FACT: 無論點都要多謝 GF 先。
RUMOUR: 聽路邊社講 GF 28 改左幾次版,KV 用既係自己獨特既一版,然後集中改新版既 GF 唔得閒幫佢谷良率。

搵 TSMC 要比現金白銀拎 waiver。 WSA 未瓜柴,係 microprocessor 就要搵 GF (有豁免既,應該係 ex-ATI 既 business)。
AMD has also committed to purchase wafers from GLOBALFOUNDRIES for approximately $250 million during first quarter 2014. AMD expects to negotiate the remainder of its 2014 purchase commitments from GLOBALFOUNDRIES in 2013.
Please note that unlike what some are saying, there are no delays to Kaveri, the roadmap hasn’t slipped at all since earlier this year when SemiAccurate last looked.

S|A claimed a delay to 14Q1 in late 2012, while AMD published roadmaps with a 13Q4 target in early 2013.
