Ends 2/13. Newegg has the AMD A6-3670K APU with AMD Radeon 6530 HD Graphics 2.7GHz Unlocked Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Processor (AD3670WNGXBOX) for $105 with free shipping. Features AMDHD 6530D graphics.
Ben, it also shows Free DiRT3 coupon w/ purchase... whoo who!
Could be fun as an enthusiast to just play with; although I wouldn’t invest in a mobo that will be a one dance wonder just to see if this has potential. I don't really see most folk building a APU system caring that they have an unlocked CPU, to me it just seems a little odd. While honestly haven't read up on OC'n on these and how/what effect that has on the GPU. A quick search of benchmarking for this thing I don't find anything, seem odd considering the Buzz it got when they said they'd be released so that explains not reading any articles.
Although I wouldn't get it for OC for a lot of builds I'd consider an APU as for folk want a mainstream setup. I thought this combo was a descent bundle; the Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H is a $100 mobo and the two part are $181 -AR$10. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.830597
