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.
I think this is a fun processor and worthy of recommendation. Sure, the temperature reading is a bit problematic but you could get an AMD A10-5800K setup for about RM 700 or so, the processor costs about RM 500 while the cheapest FM2 board is about RM 220...
Abstract: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) recently released a new lineup of APU processors and compatible motherboards. We at VERNONCHAN.COM were given the opportunity to review one of their A-Series processors, the A10-5800k with a Gigabyte F2A85X-D3H motherboard. Th...
When the Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-D3H and AMD A10-5800K APU came out of the box and into the casing, I was expecting major tweaking and setting changes to run games smoothly. However, I was surprised that the MOBO and APU automatically set everything for me, a ...
Abstract: In May this year, AMD officially launched its Trinity Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) that features the next generation APU architecture. It is built on a mature 32nm SOI process technology, using a second revision of the Bulldozer architecture. At its ...

Excellent SoC solution for mainstream users, Ideal for HTPC and compact desktops, Affordable GPU boost with Dual Graphics, Low power consumption, Multimonitor gaming capable, Good value
Poor compute performance in some tests, Doesn't perform better than Llano all the time, Dual Graphics doesn't work with 7000 series GPUs, No FM1 socket support
For a start, in order to enjoy the technical benefits of the new Trinity desktop APUs, one would have to incur some costs to upgrade to a new motherboard, which would be good for at least another generation of Socket FM2 processors. However, these new APU...
Abstract: Every other review site today will be harping on, and rightfully so. about how AMD's Trinity Radeon cores crushes the competition's HD2500/4000 in gaming graphics performance at a budget Core i3-ish price point. We at VR-Zone reckon that the average Trini...
Decent quadcore CPU performance; Great gaming performance for integrated GPU; FM2 platform supports next upgrade of CPUs; Can easily Crossfire with lowend AMD GPU,
Thermal rating still high compared to Intel Ivy Bridge Core i3; Modern DX11 based games not easily playable at 1080p.
The AMD A10-5800K ‘Trinity’ APU has undoubtedly one of the most powerful integrated graphics chip onboard. Playing any game out on the market is a piece of cake at 720p, with many DX9 based games easily playable at 1080p. And let’s face it, with the cu...
