The editors liked
CPU and graphics both (slightly) improved
Compatible with existing FM2-socket motherboards
AMD adds support for DDR3-2133
Nudges performance higher.
Great overclocking ability
Native 2133MHz memory support
Continued FM2 based socket
Beats comparatively priced Intel CPUs
Integrated GPU Overclocked well
AMD Overdrive was very easy to use
No Need to get a New Motherboard
Amazing overclocking
Excellent and affordable entry-level 3D rendering power
Decent iGPU clocking
Low platform price
Piledriver CPU core design
Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with supported board products
Support for 3+1 Eyefinity display
The editors didn't like
Much less power-efficient than comparable Intel processors
Only a minor performance boost over A10-5800K
Bottom Line
AMD's Richland APUs boost clock speeds and refine power consumption. In particular
The AMD A10-6800K is a decent
Low-cost alternative to Intel's Core i3/i5 products
None
Performance over Trinity doesn't Justify Pricing
Same maximum TDP as earlier FM2 products
Perhaps a bit late to the market
With laptop-grade parts already being for sale
Not a true new technology—just clock bumps
"Low" but adequate CPU Performance will not appeal to some

Abstract: AMD has had a rough time keeping up with Intel in the CPU market for the past couple of years. The firm's Bulldozer CPU architecture hasn't worked out as planned, and AMD has been forced to limit the scope of its ambition. Rather than competing with Intel...

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...
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...

We will close this review with a slide that shows the Richland product lineup that launches today. Due to time constraints we only reviewed the top of the line model A10-6800K which comes with the highest clock frequencies and is unlocked to boot. AMD ...
Abstract: A few months back, AMD unveiled a handful of mobile Elite A-Series APUs, formerly codenamed Richland. Those products built upon the company’s existing Trinity-based products but offered additional power and frequency optimizations designed to enhance o...
Abstract: Last week, Intel released 4th Generation Core “Haswell” processors and this week we have AMD releasing the company's 3rd generation of APUs, known as “Richland.” AMD “Richland” APUs are said to bring 20-40 percent performance increases over the previous g...
Abstract: Richland. We have been hearing this name for a solid nine months. Originally Richland was going to be a low end Trinity model that was budget oriented (or at least that was the context we heard it in). Turns out Richland is something quite differ...
I gave the pricing structure away in one of the pictures above, but it appears the Richland APUs will start around $69.00 at the lower end and top out at around $149.99 for the A10-6800K . When we compare that to the cost of the Trinity APUs, I think yo...
