Valhalla (also known as Vejle) is the first XCGPU and is used on the Trinity, Corona, Waitsburg, and Stingray motherboards. It is the successor to Loki CPU and Kronos GPU and is manufactured on the 45nm process (except for the eDRAM daughter-die, which still used Styx-65). Valhalla adds an integrated heat spreader over the dies.
