  • The key take away from the launch of the AMD A-series of APUs on the desktop is summed up in my line from the pricing segment: if the price of this processor was based on the GPU rather than the CPU portion of the silicon, it would cost quite a bit more o...

  • The A8-3850 is just what AMD needed before the release of Bulldozer. Zacate, Llano and soon to appear Bulldozer looks to give AMD a powerful 1-2-3 punch in the marketplace. The A8-3850 is just what AMD needs in the mainstream desktop sector and OEM man...
