Unlocked for overclocking
Great priced mainstream processor. Ondie GPU
Good graphics/video and processing performance. Decent gaming performance for the price.
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
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
Excellent integrated graphics performance
Adequate CPU horsepower for the price.
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.
Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
The AMD A10-5800K is designated as an "Accelerated Processing Unit," which basically denotes a CPU coupled with integrated graphics. This particular SKU is the A-series flagship for 2012. CPU performance is on par with the FX 4170, but of course the A10-5...
Abstract: A year after the launch of its first APUs, the Llanos, AMD is now bringing out the second generation of processors that combine a ‘fast’ graphics part with traditional x86 cores. Launched at a relatively high price, with modest clocks and a K10.5 arch...
Abstract: We take a look at the Trinity based A10-5800K and Vishera FX-8350 processors from AMD and see how they do in terms of all important performance....
The AMD A10 5800K is by all means a very affordable, by AMD labelled as a quad core CPU. With more than plenty power under the hood for modern applications. Especially when comparing it against the almost similar priced Intel rival, the i3-3225, the A...
Like you would imagine, in some cases, the move from cores to modules results in performance decrease, though the gap is rather small due to the increased clock rate and other improvements. In some cases, these last two factors improve performance ove...
Abstract: Our AMD Trinity review comes about a week after launch, because I wanted to spend the extra time with this APU to be able to provide readers with as clear a picture as possible on every aspect of performance. On the following pages, you’ll be reading a...
Abstract: For a majority of these open-source benchmarks on Ubuntu 12.10 with the Linux 3.5 kernel, the AMD A10-5800K was competitive with the Intel Core i5 2400S "Sandy Bridge" processor. In some tests the A10-5800K was slightly faster and in other cases a litt...
Abstract: AMD's new Trinity processor micro-architecture drives new APUs powered by 2nd gen Bulldozer (Piledriver) CPU cores and updated graphics chips for value systems on the new FM2 socket.
Abstract: HOT New Post! - AMD’s Virgo Platform and Trinity A8-5600K / A10-5800K APUs Reviewed - Read it Now! AMD finally moves forward with implementing a completely new module architecture across its processors. This move has been met with a lot of controversy ...
