AMD Officially Intros Triple-Core and Quad-Core A-Series APUs

Advanced Micro Devices decided it was time for its collection of processors to welcome the newest A-Series APUs, so it went ahead and updated the price lists and  product pages with three new units. As some may or may not have learned, Advanced Micro Devices announced quite a short time ago that it had shipped twelve million accelerated processing units. This, naturally, is a cause for celebration, and the company chose a very active way of commemorating the event.

Not too many people have heard of AssaultCube, and it is fair to say that it's not a popular game. AssaultCube is a multiplayer first person shooter with a couple of features that distinguish it from the rest of the pack. AssaultCube has a little bit of history behind it. It started in 2004 when a small grup of members from the Cube community (another multiplayer first person shooter) developed their own version.
