The A8-3870K and 3670K are fully unlocked (thanks to AMD for the clarification) partially unlocked parts allowing you to overclock an extra 500MHz on the CPU clock and an extra 200MHz on the GPU clock. The extra 100MHz you get at the $135 and $115 price points isn't really going to change much, however AMD is introducing two K-series parts (they are also known as Black Edition SKUs) into the Llano lineup: Today AMD is using the normal process improvements you see with any design over time to deliver a slight frequency bump without increasing prices. My biggest issue with Llano on the desktop was its price, at $135 for the top end A8 it seemed a bit too high. When we first reviewed Llano we thought it was a fairly competent desktop part if you needed a solution that didn't rely on discrete graphics.
