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: In May AMD introduced its latest generation APUs codenamed Trinity for laptops , and today the desktop versions finally arrived. Last week we were only allowed to write about the hardware behind the new CPUs, the model numbers and the gaming benchmarks....
Abstract: Regular readers of Kitguru may remember our review of the . I really enjoyed AMD’s Fusion technology but it was never marketed properly and subsequently wasn’t quite the success it should have been.AMD’s A8 series chips made the headlines shortly af...
Only £95 inc vat, Outclasses the Core i3 2105 in all areas, fantastic integrated graphics performance, headroom for overclocking, image quality is approaching discrete solutions,
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: Read the full performance review hereToday AMD are allowing previews of their latest APU range based around gaming performance. So we have taken the top model, the A10-5800K, combined it with the ASUS F2A85-V Pro and some high spec components before throw...
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...
Abstract: Desktop-bound Trinity APUs are shipping to OEMs, but they won't show up in the channel for months. Nevertheless, we got our hands on three upcoming models. How does Piledriver fare? What about VLIW4 graphics? Does memory play a big role? We answer with...
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 ...
Amd started the APU revolution with their llano series of processors.Which was a success among the people looking for something they can use in a fan-less silent system with the ability to game a bit.trinity picked up from where llano left and carried on the...
