Piledriver stacking up

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Here is a comparison of the 65W TDP A10-5700 against the 100W TDP A8-3850:

However,only 1333MHZ DDR3 is used!

Edit!!

The x264 benchmark is not far off a Core i3 2100:

The CB 11.5 MT scores are slightly behind a Core i3 2100:

CB 11.5 single thread score is around the same as a higher clocked 95W TDP FX4100 which has L3 cache:

Also,looking at the AMD 65W TDP Llano CPUs, and the Turbo core issues Toms Hardware had when testing their Trinity samples(down to the early nature of the BIOS support),I suspect Turbo core might not be fully engaging too.

 

[humbug]

Yep, Adobe CS6 a clear win for Trinity, also seems better in CS5 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,review-32476-4.html

Main Concept and Handbreak also a win for Trinity, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,review-32476-7.html <- iTunes, Trinity in that looks closer to Sandy Bridge than the BD FX did.

Now, no one get the wrong idea Piledriver is essentially the same architecture as Bulldozer.
you can see that if you look thought the pages in these links, you can see it still falls flat on its face in some things against the K10 arch. what it probably will do is out class Bulldozer, overclock well, beat Phenom II with some things, others not.

We will not know for sure until the actual FX Piledrivers are tested, which are likely to differ from Trinity, one would think in a positive way as they will have the (high end chip features) the fact that Trinity muscles its way past Bulldozer without some of those things sure is encouraging (2 fold)

Edit... hmmm ya, here it is again, Piledriver = 1:27 @ 3.8Ghz vs Bulldozer = 2:03 @ 3.3Ghz
