• A8-6600K Radeon HD 8570D 844 MHz/ Quad Core 100W, 3.9 GHz/4.2 GHz
• A10-6700 Radeon HD 8670D 844 MHz/ Quad Core 65W, 3.7 GHz/4.3 GHz
• A8-6500 Radeon HD 8570D 800 MHz/ Quad Core 65W, 3.5 GHz/4.1 GHz

• A4-6300 Radeon HD 8370D 760 MHz/ Dual Core 65W, 3.7 GHz/3.9 GHz
The big new feature is a new integrated GPU, AMD’s HD 8000 series graphics based on the ‘Southern Island’ GCN architecture. There is also a new A88X chipset coming as well. The new APUs are FM2 compatible.

Here's hoping for better power consumption/heat management and some new mini-ITX motherboards from Gigabyte and ASUS.
Trinity's successor "Kaveri", the third-generation A-series, is slated for the end of 2013. It also looks like some new mobile A-series and E-series releases coming May.
