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

The A10-6800K delivers somewhere from 5% to 25% performance improvements over the A10-5800K where a workload is CPU bound, then the improvement often lies on the lower end of the spectrum. On the average, the APU is about 10% faster than its predecessor....

Abstract: Richland, code name for AMD's highest-end APUs, finds its way into our lab in the form of A10-6700 and A10-6800K. Based on the Piledriver architecture and VLIW4 graphics, these chips are slight improvements to Trinity. Can they outshine Core i3, though? ...

Performance over Trinity doesn't Justify Pricing
The AMD A10-6800K APU is a good next-step in the world of AMD Accelerated Processing Units. It represents a slight increase in performance in both the CPU and GPU portions of the unit over the last generation of Trinity processors. I'm not sure that I...
Abstract: While it may be based on last year’s Trinity architecture AMD’s new Richland A10-6800K and A10-6700 APUs bring higher performance and new features to the table without consuming more power. However, in such a competitive processor market, will they r...
Abstract: That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two to...
Abstract: Our series of gaming performance articles where we take one CPU and put it up against another one and run a series of game benchmarks, is very well known meanwhile...
Abstract: Should you be thinking about buying a used CPU in the price range of 120 to 150 Euro, then you might be considering to buy either an Intel Core i5-2500K or an AMD A10-6800K. At this point we want to answer the question which of these CPUs would be the bet...
Abstract: In the past few years, Intel and AMD have spent a lot of resources in improving the performance of their integrated graphics units. Intel has been working hard to make sure their HD graphics becomes competitive with AMDs Radeon units. Today we're going to...
Abstract: In the past few months we tested and compared quite a few Intel CPUs regarding gaming performance. Therefore it's about time that we have a closer look at some AMD CPUs. Today we're going to check out AMDs A10-6800K and put it up against its predecessor t...
