Incredible Performance from On Board APU.

Hi there

Quake now upto 690fps!

Was only using 512MB of memory, now dedicated 2GB, made a nice difference!

Looks really promising, due a laptop upgrade next year too

Say one currently had a Phenom II x2 3.2Ghz. Should they buy one for these or a new discrete GPU?

If you bought this, you would need a new board too

horrorwood · 28 Sep 2012 at 20:37

I want to buy one of these, find me an excuse to do so please?

Good work AMD, you still have the fastest IGP and always have...

Now lets see what the new CPU's can do...

I bet Intel wish they bought out ATI now, not much chance of them getting their hands on Nvidia is there... not a problem, just buy them both separately. :cool:

Nvidia using intels factories and chip processes? = bye bye ATI/AMD GPU's!

Yes, unlikely I know

What will bore me is AMD will be waving around how good the IGP is and their is articles on the web saying the same thing, but when it comes to the CPU part, it won't get any limelight till release date and why? Because it won't be upto peoples expectations.

Prove us wrong AMD, I would love it if the CPU was on par or better than Ivybridge.

Wow didn't even realise this was coming up, hopefully it's not another let down from AMD...

It is not a let down for the mainstream, see here:

When you say gay, do you mean homosexual or rubbish?

Apus in laptops have been fantastic for 2 years.

The problem is finding them. There's only a few manufactures making laptops with A chips, the majority use the E class notebook chips to boost their profits...

Or gay as in "jolly" "joyful"

Used in a sentence - I had such a gay day today.

Sounds really good for Laptops, I can't wait!.

hmm seems AMD are launching CPUS with i5 performance for i3 prices but if haswell is as big an improvement on ivy as its being billed, this AMD offering is likely to be blown out of the water again. AMD fast becoming the budget rather than quality choice

Martini1991 · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:46

AMD are not offering i5 performance for i3 prices.
CPU side it's still a far cry from the i5 stuff, but it's IGP is in a different league.

It's an APU, more than just a CPU, it's IGP is much better than any Intel IGP found in a i3/i5/i7, indeed even Llano still beats any Intel IGP offering in those chips.
