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: For every personality and budget there is a class of boat available. You have everything from sailboats that are little day sailors to the massive yachts that celebrities own. Just like with boats, there are computers for every personality type and budget...
Although AMD's 6700/6800K APUs do not perform as well as Intel's Core i7-3770K, they still have quite a bit to offer. Start with the fact that they are true four core processors with integrated graphics processors, extremely energy efficient and have an e...
No resolution took place. New desktop hybrid processors, which were previously known as Richland and now belong to the new 6000-series brought only minimal changes to the Socket FM2 platform. AMD tried really hard to turn Richland into a new hit, but ...
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 generation of AMD A-Series “Trinity” APUs, so AMD fans have been waiting months for this day to come. The other nice thing about these new APUs is that they don’t require a new platform and work in all existing AMD Socket FM2 motherboards after a quick BIOS update.

Abstract: With the release of the Llano chips in mid-2011 and the Trinity chips in late-2012, the AMD APUs were shown to be the perfect option for the person who wanted a cheap, yet capable system that could be expanded on in the future. They not only offered p...

Much less power-efficient than comparable Intel processors, Only a minor performance boost over A10-5800K
AMD's latest top-end APU pushes CPU and GPU performance up a bit, competing nicely with Intel's Core i3s, particularly on graphics performance. But Intel's chips are much more efficient on the power front. ...
Richland is interesting, however coming from Trinity really it's the same APU yet tweaked on the clocks, turbo's and memory controller. That's it. However it's the first series APUs that delivers 'up-to' mainstream processor performance and that I find t...

Abstract: Late last year we checked out AMD's desktop version of Trinity, comprising Piledriver CPU cores along with an on-die Radeon HD 7000 Series (not Graphics Core Next) graphics processor. Headlining the family was the A10-5800K with four cores clocked at 3.80...

The AMD Elite A-Series FM2 APUs will be available soon along with supporting board products. Retail pricing is unknown at this time, but we should see the AMD A10-6800K retail at around $145 with the other Elite A-Series FM2 APUs costing less. Amazing ove...
AMD came to us in 2011 with their APU lineup to fill a gap in the market that not many realised was there. Fast forward to present day and, on the performance front, they're still going reasonably strong. For the price that this chip is being released at...
