Abstract: Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's a...
Abstract: On June 4 Intel is launching its next generation Core processors, also called Haswell. That means it's the perfect opportunity for us to retest all current processors and a number of older ones with a completely new test configuration. It will not only ...

Asymmetric Crossfire, Decent onboard graphics for 720p, almost 1080p friendly
Old architecture, Core i3 still faster with discrete GPU

Abstract: Now that Piledriver-based CPUs and APUs are widely available (and the FX-8350 is selling for less than $200), it's a great time to compare value-oriented chips in our favorite titles. We're also breaking out a test that conveys the latency between frames....

It's very easy to get bogged down in the high-end hardware, the cream of the crop, and forget what a joy there is to be had from something that is almost proudly cheap and cheerful. AMD have nearly always been the providers of exceptionally good performin...
As we have seen from the benchmarks, the newer A8-3870K APU from AMD seems to have about the same behavior when running memory at different speeds, like the previously tested A6-3650. The IGP performance increases quite lot when we compare the perform...
The performance of integrated graphics cores has evolved dramatically over the past year. While previously the mere idea of an entry-level gaming system without an external graphics card couldn’t even come to mind, today we have dedicated an entire ar...
The A8-3870K is very similar to the A8-3850 in price and specifications. It costs only USD 5 more than the A8-3850 and has almost the same clock rate (3 GHz vs. 2.9 GHz), but has a far better overclocking potential, thanks to its unlocked clock multipl...
