Because AMD split its Trinity architecture introduction up into two days of coverage, I'm forced to draw a conclusion today that runs counter to the efficiency data we just presented. At its stock settings, the company's flagship A10-5800K is generall...
Much improved graphics performance over previous model, Competes well against similarly priced Intel Core i3 CPUs with weaker integrated graphics, Unlocked for overclocking
CPU-specific performance doesn't get as much of a boost as graphics, New FM2 socket means previous-gen AMD APU owners will need a new motherboard
AMD's latest high-end APU sports slightly improved CPU performance and nearly double the graphics muscle of last year's A8 chip. It's a good choice for those looking to build a budget gaming or media PC. Just know you'll need fast RAM to get the best per...
The A10 5800K APU as tested today is a product for entry-level towards mainstream PCs. The big caveat will remain its processor power. I had hoped that the Piledriver CPU cores would have made a substantial enough difference. However the benchmarks are a...
Excellent and affordable entry 3D rendering power, Decent expected iGPU clocking with all three of my chips managing a 25% or greater frequency increase, Low platform price, NEW Piledriver CPU core design, Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with sup
Same maximum TDP as FM1 products, Perhaps a bit late to the market with laptop-grade parts already for sale, No compatibility with previous FM1 products, be it boards or chips, "Low" but adequate CPU Performance will not appeal to some
I poured out my thoughts about these APUs out on the front page. I like them a lot. Intel simply doesn't offer anything remotely close for the same budget when it comes to 3D performance. They aren't really meant to compete with Intel anyway, so you ar...
Discrete level 7660D graphics, CPU performance on par with Ivy Bridge i33220, Can use dual Discrete GPUs in x8/x8, Memory support up to 1866MHz, Supports 8 native SATA III ports,
No backwards compatibility with FM1, Late market entry, No Native Virtu MVP support, You can run two Discrete GPUs, but can't pair those two with the APU graphics
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...

Abstract: Over the last few years we’ve seen OEM computing make a shift from discrete video cards to on-chip GPUs. Within the past 2 years both Intel and AMD have gone full force with on-chip GPUs, so what’s the difference? Intel released Ivy Bridge with In...
Abstract: A few days ago we started getting acquainted with the AMD Trinity processors that have finally come into desktops. The first review we posted on our web-site talked exclusively about the graphics components of these promising products. By posting the f...
Abstract: After years of waiting, AMD finally unveiled its Llano APU platform fifteen months ago . The APU promise was a new world where CPUs and GPUs would live in harmony on a single, monolithic die. Delivering the best of two very different computing architectur...
