  • Great priced mainstream processor. Ondie GPU
  • Good graphics/video and processing performance. Decent gaming performance for the price.

  • Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with sup
  • Discrete level 7660D graphics

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:  We've been playing with AMD's Trinity APUs for four months, and they're just now being rolled out to the channel. This time, we take a look at the architecture's efficiency compared to a pair of Ivy Bridge-based Core i3s. Can A10 and A8 stand up to Int...

  • There will be no conclusion today. In order to write an accurate and fair conclusion we need to be able to discuss every aspect of a product. In this case that means we need to look at the CPU benchmarks and not only the GPU benchmarks, and we need to k...

  • Abstract:  Think you're pretty snazzy because your integrated graphics core plays mainstream games at 1280x720? We're on to bigger and better things, like modern titles at 1920x1080. Can AMD's Trinity architecture push high-enough frame rates to make this possibl...

  • After testing AMD's Trinity test laptop we were left with mixed feelings. The 3DMark scores prove that the integrated GPU is and will remain AMD's strong side. Unfortunately we weren't able to run the gaming benchmarks after the laptop crashed, but the ...
