The editors didn't like
CPU Performance Moderately Improved
FM2 Socket (Not Backwards Compatible)
CPU-specific performance doesn't get as much of a boost as graphics
New FM2 socket means previous-gen AMD APU owners will need a new motherboard
Although Piledriver has a much better instruction set
Vanilla processing performance is only slightly better than Llano
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
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
AMD is leaving the performance race all to Intel. New motherboard needed. Unlocked multiplier doesn't translate into good overclocking.
Testing out the AMD A10-5800K was interesting for me since this is the first time i tested an APU. The A10-5800K tuned out to be a great processor with just enough power to fulfill any users needs.The new Piledriver architecture brought new technologies s...
While there isn't a substantial increase in GPU performance between Richland and Trinity, AMD's GPU performance lead over Ivy Bridge was big enough to withstand Haswell's arrival. Note that although we're comparing performance to Haswell here, Richland ex...

Abstract: AMD jumps to the next generation APU by launching the Elite A-series for desktops, codename Richland. APUs are able to combine the potential of x86 and GPU together to enable a new class of experiences and compute performance on today's PCs.AMD hasn't cha...

Abstract: Usually when we review new CPUs, it's the top model, and sometimes the one right below it. Not often do manufacturers send out low-end or mid-range models. If you were wondering why most hardware sites' last CPU review was probably the FX-8350 launch last...
Conventional CPUs shouldn’t be confused with APUs. The recently invented concept of hybrid processors has already gained broad recognition on the market, so we can approach APUs not as a variety of conventional CPUs but as a whole new class of product...
Abstract: We've already reviewed the top processor of AMD's Vishera family, FX-8350. That was just the beginning of the big refresh for the Socket AM3+ platform. AMD has also rolled out a number of more affordable CPUs. Today we're going to cover them in compari...

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....
Abstract: Over the past several months we did quite a bit of work and published reviews of almost two dozen LGA 1155 mainboards. Of course, our interest in these products is quite logical, because it is the newest and most current, interesting and universal plat...
At the end of the day we found that memory performance scales with clock frequency on AMD's A-Series APU. We found that the memory bandwidth ranged from 12GB/s to 15GB/s on the AMD A10-5800K ‘Trinity' APU with when the most popular speeds of DDR3 dual cha...
