The editors liked
Impressive absolute performance of integrated graphics
At last
Integrated graphics that are worthy of the name
Excellent overclocking
Decent computational performance
Brilliant integrated graphics prowess
Offers strong multicore performance and budget gaming at a reasonable price
The editors didn't like
High power consumption in comparison to Intel
A faster CPU is required
With AMD's next generation of APU technology fast approaching
It's not that futureproof.
Slightly immature drivers
Concerns remain about FM1's lifespan
Doesn't outperform its Intel equivalent on many standard programs
Abstract: A couple of weeks back, AMD released the notebook portion of their Llano platform, dubbed ‘Sabine’, which we explained in detail . This left many people wondering when the desktop variant of Llano would be released, and how it would perform compare...
Abstract: Earlier this year AMD launched their E-Series APUs which were the first step in creating a range of products which combined traditional CPU and GPU components into one chip...
Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Well as we noticed we were not able to overclock this unit at all really. A few MHz was all we could push out of our sample, this doesn’t mean however that this model does not overclock at all because I have seen some nice results on other sites. The ...

Abstract: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...

Abstract: AMD India sent one of the A8 series APU (Accelerated Processing Units) with an 6550HD graphics.With the default clock speed at 2.9GHz and with the brand new FM1 socket type, lets see how the Desktop APU does the job.1. Introduction 2. About A- Series Pro...
Low cost of the platform, Connectivity (graphics, USB3, SATA3), Reasonable power consumption, GPUperformance
To wrap the performance figures up, it's no surprise that the new APU can't match the CPU-oomph of the Phenoms and higher spec Intel-models, but that's not really the point, either. The thing is, these A-series APUs are never even meant for high perfo...
Abstract: After the launch of the first mobile A Series APUs, AMD has now officially launched the desktop processor models. Only two have been launched for now, the A8-3850 and the A6-3650, and we’ve tested them both for you. For AMD, APUs are first and foremos...
After all the tests we carried out, the final question remains: Does AMDs A-series mainstream APU deliver? We think it does, at least in the target segment it is marketed for. The CPU delivers enough performance for the majority of users and the GPU li...
