Talking about promotional tactics, what better way would there be for the marketing of the graphics processing competence of the processor than teaming it up with a powerful GPU intensive game of the year. AMD has been very clever to launch the Battlefield 4 Edition packages of the Kaveri APUs and these packages will give you the Origin keys to Battlefield 4 obviously at higher premiums than normal PIB packages. This is kind of similar to what AMD did with its Radeon R9 290 series.

These Battlefield 4 SKUs are going to come along with two APU models; namely the A10-7850K, and A10-7700K. These two together are going to meet up with the system requirements of the game which is going to work on the resolutions of up to HD+ (1600 x 900 pixels).
