What is that a link to?
It might be Puma, i.e. Beema/Mullins. But the die-shot might be irrelevant and only serves to show the DRAM controller. Guess we'll find out in five days...

Are there compelling reasons why one would want an AMD chip in a tablet?

Something SMALL is coming and its BIG news! Can you guess what it is? Click for a hint!
Don't they have something on the roadmap with an ARM A5 processor integrated for security features or some such? Maybe it's that?
AMD’s new branding for Beema and Mullins
AMD has three new low-power Mullins parts and it also has new branding for the tweaked cores. Mullins parts can be distinguished from Beema products quite easily, as they sport a Micro prefix in their designation.
The E1 Micro-6200T is a dual-core clocked up to 1.4GHz with a 3.95W TDP (2.8W SDP). It features Radeon R2 graphics, i.e. 128 GCN cores clocked at 300MHz and it can handle DDR3L-1066 memory. The A4 Micro-6400T is a quad-core clocked at 1.6GHz. It has a TDP of 4.5W (2.8W SDP) and Radeon R3 graphics clocked at 350MHz. The quad A10 Micro-6700T is the fastest Mullins chip, with a CPU clock of 2.2GHz and Radeon R6 graphics clocked 500MHz. Both A-series parts feature the same TDP/SDP, 2MB of L2 cache and support for DDR3L-1333 memory.
AMD is not thrilled. The company has been dealing with similar Intel shenanigans for almost two decades and it knows it cannot compete on a level playing field. AMD cannot afford to burn hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter to gain a few dozen tablet design wins. Therefore AMD is targeting a somewhat different market, mid-range $299 tablets. Intel is trying to grab everything from $99 to $299 with its tablet SoCs, while Haswell and Broadwell should take care of the higher end of the market.
Beema/Mullins is AMD’s first APU with a Platform Security Processor (PSP). This is basically an on-die Cortex A5 processor with dedicated ROM and SRAM. It also features a cryptographic co-processor capable of handling RSA, SHA, ECC, AES and a few other crypto standards. While PSP may not be a big deal for home users, it should come in handy for embedded applications. We will take a closer look at AMD’s PSP and a few other Beema features later.
Beema/Mullins..
How many GCN cores in a "Radeon R3"?
The much anticpated Steamroller architecture that will still likely fall short of the now 3 year old Sandy Bridge clock for clock? oh wait...
The same one that plays games fine or even better than sandy and gets to 5+ GHz with a good 150 dollar mobo... Relitevely easily actually. How much are those Intel mobos again? Sure some people say am3 + is "outdated" if you will but what features does my mobo not have that I should care about. Haha real world performance trumps everything including clock for clock. Every time.
