The recently leaked AMD roadmap hints at Trinity APU being in production by as near as January. The roadmap only holds information on the mobile processors and is low on details but it appears an upgrade to Piledriver CPUs is in the making, including the upcoming Trinity APUs.

Trinity APU is the successor to Llano range of mobile APUs. The Trinity APU is expected to be based on "Piledriver" CPU cores, which is the codename for AMD’s new core design. The Piledriver is rumoured to have ten cores and improves on AMD’s “Bulldozer” design.

AMD has unveiled its plans for the A-series and E-series chips and is aiming to improve upon the line as a response to Intel’s chips including the popular Core i7. Trinity APUs will come as a subsequent move to Llano A8-series. AMD has declared Trinity to be ‘2012’s best APU’,

Trinity APUs will be integrating 2-4 Piledriver cores with a probable Radeon GPU on the die. Performance is supposed to be higher than Llano series. Because Piledriver CPUs are an upgrade to Bulldozer design, the Trinity APUs might be clocking at a faster rate than Bulldozer. Bulldozer launches at Q4 this year, though Trinity will come around early 2012. That is a relatively small window between the two core-designs, but AMD targets to regularly update on its designs to keep up with the competition.
