    Re: News - AMD Richland APU processor range key specs are listed

    I've got a 6 core FX6300 (overclocked to 4.6Ghz) and a 4 core A10-5800K (stock clocks, that I won in a Hexus competition just before xmas!) and the 5800K is amazing, it feels faster than the FX6300 and it idles at 0'C (yes Zero)!

    You that that's a mis-reading, right? If it actually were zero you'd get condensation on your CPU and your mobo would probably short-circuit. Basic physics. Having said that, it is amazing how good Llano, Trinity and FX are for idle power consumption. Although against Haswell, AMD would probably need to release a new chipset to stay competitive.

    Depending on how you feel about Asrock, this could be the board.
    As I currently own their piece of cr@p A75 ITX FM2 board, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole

    It's *ALREADY* confirmed that it's still VLIW4, guys. They've just tweaked the arrangement slightly. Kaveri will be GCN, but that's not due until the end of the year. The only real boost to the graphics will be a slightly higher clock speed due to increased energy efficiency. The CPU is, afaik, a new stepping of Piledriver, and will have at most minor tweaks to improve IPC by a few percent. The big takeaway from richland is that they've managed to improve power draw even further - hence the 65W 6700 hitting 3.7GHz all core at only 65W TDP. That's going to be one hell of a processor - 5800k performance in a 5700 power envelope ... yum

    0'C is what AIDA64 states for all 4 individual cores, yes I know it's not completely accurate but still don't get your pedantic knickers in a twist and realise that I'm making the point of it's a awesome APU.

    Not completely accurate

    It is not accurate in the slightest. It is completely wrong.

    Re: News - AMD Richland APU processor range key specs are listed

    Depends, if the room's unheated in midwinter then it might not be that inaccurate. I've seen a 65W Athlon X2 under a Kama Scythe Mine at 2C before, and that was probably correct.

    Of course, that would require the poster to be using their computer in an unheated room in the middle of winter, so it's fairly unlikely - just saying it's not impossible

    That's what everyone's saying, yeah. And yes, the 6700's great for a low-power build. You could build a good cheap gaming rig out of it for sure, and seeing as it's designed to be partnered with 7750s and above, which are about £80 right now, it's a great upgrade for around £275-300 (6700, MB, 8GB DDR2133, 7750).

    Assuming this is a reply to the question about GCN, two people in this thread have already pointed out that Richland is sticking with VLIW4, and the A-series APUs won't get GCN until Kaveri is released towards the end of this year.

    Plus, I wouldn't say A-series APUs are designed to be partnered with 7750s upwards - they're designed to have enough graphical power to remove the need for a discrete graphics card entirely, or to be coupled with a mid-range card up to a 6670 for dual graphics. I'm pretty sure AMD would prefer you to couple one of their FX CPUs with their 7750+ graphics cards

    Wow for the price, the performance is OK, id still buy a cheaper CPU and wack in a better card but.....

    I wouldn't. Anything cheaper is a Pentium or Celeron and they are horrible in gaming. The i3's are about even but why spend the same money on a dual core with HT when you can get a bit more futureproofing with the quad? If you are spending £90-£100 on a cpu, you might as well make it one of these. If you are spending £150 by all means go with an i5.

    Re: News - AMD Richland APU processor range key specs are listed

    Something like an A10-5800K costs around £90. The IGP with 1600MHZ DDR3 is around HD6670 GDDR3 level. An HD6670 GDDR3 is around £45 to £50. So that means you would be looking a Pentium G860 or Pentium G2020 and the total will still be around £100.

    Lets look at this review of the A10-5800K:

    http://techreport.com/review/23662/a...pus-reviewed/8

    Any game which is highly multi-threaded,leads to very poor latency scores with the G2120 and in half the games tested the A10-5800K beats it. In Batman the G2120 and the A10-5800K are virtually the same. In Skyrim the G2120 is faster.

    The G2020 is clocked 6.5% lower than a G2120 and the G860 is around the same speed.

    Unfortunately, the Pentium dual cores are way overrated for gaming. They are good CPUs for the money though.
