Incredible Performance from On Board APU.

Couldn't really see much about the CPU performance in that review, although have to agree the gaming performance is respectable.
 
These Apu's are fantastic. I have an Llano A8 in my laptop. I have oc'd it to 2.4ghz accross all four cores. Its great for some light gaming.
The new Trinity range look like they are going to be great. And also boost pc gaming, as they will make great cheap, low power usage systems that can handle todays games.
Well done Amd.
 
the interesting part for me in that review is this :-

"AMD sent over a Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 motherboard along with an A10-5800K and A8-5600K. The board worked flawlessly in our testing, and it also gave us access to AMD's new memory profiles. A while ago AMD partnered up with Patriot to bring AMD branded memory to market. AMD's Performance line of memory includes support for AMD's memory profiles, which lets you automatically set frequency, voltage and timings with a single BIOS setting."

makes things nice and simple

But haven't Intel had that for ages too with XMP.
 
Hmmmm interesting little chip, would be great in a mid range laptop and low end desktop. I will be waiting tho to see if AMD are just sticking a big iGPU on a CPU with no guts like it did with the last gen APU's (Llano)

ah ok, but im guessing its still severely lacking in CPU performance

I don't doubt that a 2500K/2700?3570K etc will still be better computationally, but can you picture a small little case, a small ITX FM2 socket motherboard, this chip, a little PSU and some RAM and drives, no discrete GFX card needed, all hooked up to a TV and able to easily play games, sweet:)

If that can be done for under £300 I'll be so happy! (tough ask!)

That's why I'm excited about them. Wanting to build a HTPC, so at the very least, I'm hoping this will drop the prices of the FM1 systems :)
 
Yay! Glad these are good, been waiting to build a PC for the telly with one of these (get the kids off my PC!).
 
Hummm.. Tempted for one of these in my new and hopefully very small and silent HTPC. The IGPU should be excellent with some of the higher end decoders.. :) That said i already have a passive Geforce GT 520 1Gb DDR3 card that should work fine so might just go for a low end pentium dual core... Oh i dont know.. lol
