Excellent and affordable entry 3D rendering power, Decent expected iGPU clocking with all three of my chips managing a 25% or greater frequency increase, Low platform price, NEW Piledriver CPU core design, Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with sup
Same maximum TDP as FM1 products, Perhaps a bit late to the market with laptop-grade parts already for sale, No compatibility with previous FM1 products, be it boards or chips, "Low" but adequate CPU Performance will not appeal to some
I poured out my thoughts about these APUs out on the front page. I like them a lot. Intel simply doesn't offer anything remotely close for the same budget when it comes to 3D performance. They aren't really meant to compete with Intel anyway, so you ar...
Discrete level 7660D graphics, CPU performance on par with Ivy Bridge i33220, Can use dual Discrete GPUs in x8/x8, Memory support up to 1866MHz, Supports 8 native SATA III ports,
No backwards compatibility with FM1, Late market entry, No Native Virtu MVP support, You can run two Discrete GPUs, but can't pair those two with the APU graphics
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
Abstract: In terms of the A10-5800K performance to other integrated graphics processors and for the compute performance to other processors, as mentioned already, those results are still to be published in the coming days. For those wanting a preview of the AMD...
The A10 5800K APU as tested today is a product for entry-level towards mainstream PCs. The big caveat will remain its processor power. I had hoped that the Piledriver CPU cores would have made a substantial enough difference. However the benchmarks are a...
CPU Performance Moderately Improved, FM2 Socket (Not Backwards Compatible)
We are now in the age of "Trinity". AMD uses that codename because they want you to look at the platform in terms of CPU, GPU, and supported accelerated software. They throw software into the mix because we are at that transitional phase where program c...

Because AMD split its Trinity architecture introduction up into two days of coverage, I'm forced to draw a conclusion today that runs counter to the efficiency data we just presented. At its stock settings, the company's flagship A10-5800K is generall...
The pricing structure for the Trinity APUs can best be described as aggressive. In fact, there isn't a Trinity processor in the lot that retails for more than $122.00. Below is a chart displaying the prices for the Trinity offerings. To be honest, bas...
Abstract: Although AMD's second-generation mainstream APU platform, codename Trinity, launched months ago in notebooks the official desktop launch is today. Rumor has it that AMD purposefully delayed the desktop Trinity launch to clear out unsold Llano inventories ...
Abstract: Trinity. Where to start? I find myself asking that question, as the road to this release is somewhat tortuous. Trinity, as a product code name, came around in early 2011. The first working silicon was shown that Summer. The first actual release...
