A spec sheet of the HP 245G2 and 255G2 Laptops included something very interesting: previously unrevealed models of the AMD's Kabini line of APUs. The models are the Dual Core E1-2150 and the Quad Core A4-5050 respectively.
AMD Kabini Quad Core A4-5050 and Dual Core E1-2150 Found in Spec Sheet.
Kabini has quickly trickled into a very select niche of low power graphic products that have low - medium gaming needs. A common example is the Tango PC and nano-boxes which utilize the AMD Kabini APU to great effect. It is for this reason that the discovery of previously unreleased APUs is eye-raising, and poses the question whether AMD is creating custom tailored SKUs for OEMs.
Back in January AMD revealed the lineup of Kabini which included the Dual Core E1-2200, Quad Core E2-3800 and A4-5100. The E2-3800 now ships with the HP Pavilion 23-g010 All-in-one-pc. However the specs file of the HP 245 G2 and 255 G2 contains something very interesting. Two SKUs that have not been released yet. Here is the relevant spec page:
| Model | Cores | Frequency | L2 cache | Graphics | Memory | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E1-2150 | 2 | 1.05 GHz | 1 MB | HD 8210 | ||
| A4-5050 | 4 | 1.55 GHz | 2 MB | HD 8330 | DDR3L-1600 | 13.5 Watt |
