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: Maybe some of you are curious to see how close an AMD A10-6800K APU can come to an Intel Core i7-4770K. Obviously this article should not be seen as some kind of buying advice it's more about illustrating that the CPU isn't the most important piece of har...
Little need to overclock CPU due to high Turbo Core speeds out the box, Discrete level integrated graphics
Little performance gain over previous generation, Still using 32nm fab
Looking over at the latest 6000 series APUs, it is easy to be underwhelmed due by the fact they are 'just a refresh'. The primary benefit to the A10-6800K is the high out the box speeds, combined with a modest GPU overclock and some capable high perfo...
Abstract: With Haswell's IGP Intel had set itself ambitious goals. One for example is that they want to heat up the competition with AMD when it comes to integrated grahics performance. Wether Intel is going to succeed or not and how Intel's HD 4600 as well as AMD'...
Abstract: Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's a...

A bit faster than the A10, 5800K, A tad more power efficient too, Adds support for DDR3, 2133
Relatively pricier than the A10, 5800K
If you care about peak CPU performance, a fast Intel dual-core or higher-end quad-core will deliver better overall performance than the AMD A10-6800K, even if the total cost will be somewhat more. If, on the other hand, you want a combined CPU+GPU with b...
Solid CPU, classleading iGPU performance, Dropin upgrade for existing FM2 boards, Ideally suited for budget systems
Minor improvements over Trinity, Weak singlethreaded performance, HEXUS Awards, AMD A106800K, HEXUS Where2Buy, The AMD A106800K APU is available to purchase from Scan Computers, HEXUS Right2Reply, At HEXUS, we invite the companies whose products we test t
AMD's Richland APUs have now been transitioned to both laptop and desktop computers, replacing last year's Trinity models. Sporting the same architecture and form factor - Richland is a drop-in upgrade for FM2 desktop boards - the new APUs provide a very...

Abstract: Less than two weeks ago we reviewed AMD's new mobile processor: Temash, Kabini and Richland. Today AMD is introducing the desktop version of Richland (the A10, A8 and A6 processors), and this successor to Trinity has one big change in the form of higher...
