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: In May this year, AMD officially launched its Trinity Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) that features the next generation APU architecture. It is built on a mature 32nm SOI process technology, using a second revision of the Bulldozer architecture. At its ...

If you're looking for a new system, this is a good candidate, especially those who loves playing computer games (and don't mind the lower details) but stuck with a tight budget. The A8-3850 and board comes to only about RM 800 but you get performance ab...
Hits new high in integrated graphics performance, Mainstream pricing
Mediocre CPU performance, Dual Graphics feature is disappointing
Introducing the AMD A-Series APUIntroducing the AMD A-Series APUYou may have heard rumblings about Fusion APUs from AMD in the past few months, with cryptic codenames like Brazos and Llanos. Brazos was the first Fusion APU or Accelerated Processing Unit f...
Great integrated GPU performance; Decent performance increase with faster ram; Runs extremely cool; One chip solution for a budget gamer or HTPC build,
Overclocking GPU & CPU speeds doesn't result in measurable performance gains; CPU performance is marginally less than Intel's offering
Abstract: AMD has been touting its Accelerated Processing Units as the next big thing. Combining a quad-core CPU and a Radeon HD GPU into a single chip, these purportedly offer a superior blend of CPU and graphics performance to Intel's offerings. Join VR-Zone as w...

Ever since Intel started integrating a graphics component into its processors, we have envisioned a time when a single processor could do everything. Unfortunately, Intel's promise of HD graphics was only good for viewing HD content - most mainstream 3...
Abstract: Although we can't publish any actual benchmarks as yet, what we have for you is a quick preview of Gigabyte's upcoming A75M-UD2H motherboard alongside AMD's A8-3850 APU running Crysis 2 with a bit of a twist, or two. Click on through for a short video and...
Extremely good performance for an integrated GPU; Good scaling of CrossFire when it works; APU runs very cool and quiet; Low power draw of 35W is great for long battery life,
DX9 games do not use dual GPU; AMD Vision drivers don't scale CrossFire gaming across all DX10 & DX11 games
