The AMD A106800K APU is available to purchase from Scan Computers
Abstract: Last week, Intel released 4th Generation Core “Haswell” processors and this week we have AMD releasing the company’s 3rd generation of APUs, known as “Richland.” AMD “Richland” APUs are said to bring 20-40 percent performance increases over the previous generation of AMD A-Series “Trinity” APUs, so AMD fans have been waiting months for this day to come. The other nice thing about these new APUs is that they don’t require a new platform and work in all existing AMD Socket FM2 motherboards after a quick BIOS update.

Abstract: With the release of the Llano chips in mid-2011 and the Trinity chips in late-2012, the AMD APUs were shown to be the perfect option for the person who wanted a cheap, yet capable system that could be expanded on in the future. They not only offered p...
CPU and graphics both (slightly) improved, Compatible with existing FM2-socket motherboards
Much less power-efficient than comparable Intel processors, Only a minor performance boost over A10-5800K
AMD's latest top-end APU pushes CPU and GPU performance up a bit, competing nicely with Intel's Core i3s, particularly on graphics performance. But Intel's chips are much more efficient on the power front. ...
Richland is interesting, however coming from Trinity really it's the same APU yet tweaked on the clocks, turbo's and memory controller. That's it. However it's the first series APUs that delivers 'up-to' mainstream processor performance and that I find t...

Abstract: Late last year we checked out AMD's desktop version of Trinity, comprising Piledriver CPU cores along with an on-die Radeon HD 7000 Series (not Graphics Core Next) graphics processor. Headlining the family was the A10-5800K with four cores clocked at 3.80...
Amazing overclocking, Excellent and affordable entry-level 3D rendering power, Decent iGPU clocking, Low platform price, Piledriver CPU core design, Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with supported board products, Support for 3+1 Eyefinity display
Same maximum TDP as earlier FM2 products, Perhaps a bit late to the market, with laptop-grade parts already being for sale, Not a true new technology—just clock bumps, "Low" but adequate CPU Performance will not appeal to some
The AMD Elite A-Series FM2 APUs will be available soon along with supporting board products. Retail pricing is unknown at this time, but we should see the AMD A10-6800K retail at around $145 with the other Elite A-Series FM2 APUs costing less. Amazing ove...
AMD came to us in 2011 with their APU lineup to fill a gap in the market that not many realised was there. Fast forward to present day and, on the performance front, they're still going reasonably strong. For the price that this chip is being released at...

The A10-6800K delivers somewhere from 5% to 25% performance improvements over the A10-5800K where a workload is CPU bound, then the improvement often lies on the lower end of the spectrum. On the average, the APU is about 10% faster than its predecessor....

Abstract: Richland, code name for AMD's highest-end APUs, finds its way into our lab in the form of A10-6700 and A10-6800K. Based on the Piledriver architecture and VLIW4 graphics, these chips are slight improvements to Trinity. Can they outshine Core i3, though? ...
Beats comparatively priced Intel CPUs, Integrated GPU Overclocked well, AMD Overdrive was very easy to use, No Need to get a New Motherboard,
Performance over Trinity doesn't Justify Pricing
The AMD A10-6800K APU is a good next-step in the world of AMD Accelerated Processing Units. It represents a slight increase in performance in both the CPU and GPU portions of the unit over the last generation of Trinity processors. I'm not sure that I...
