    good news, i used a A4 in a low end office system and it was absolutely fine paired with an ssd and 8 gig of ram. built my system then for around £200, this would make it even cheaper.

    $92 for a quad core CPU is so sexeh. Will be using this for all future builds of anyone who doesn't do gaming.

    A straight currency conversion would mean the 7850K retailing in the UK for around £88. No sign of that yet or even at around the £100 mark.
    At £88 i would imagine the 7850K would ship by the bucketload. An A4-4000 for around £16 as well?

    As usual, lets just wait and see rather than believe the regurgitated press release.

    Re: News - AMD announces desktop APU price cuts

    The A10-7800 is about £100 on Amazon right now, but in fairness it's been as low as bout £90 before (according to Amazon-tracker CamelCamelCamel). The same APU is still about £112 on Scan alas.

    I'm looking into building a small secondary computer, so if these cuts make it to ol' Blighty, it might sway me back towards looking at an A8 or even A10 AMD APU rather than a Intel Haswell refresh i3.

    Re: News - AMD announces desktop APU price cuts

    my a6 3500 3 core @ 2.1 hz runs Eve Online fine on it's lower settings, great PC too with a SSD and 8gb "1600" ddr3
    really surprisingly snappy, I think I can tell it's a PS2 keyboard, that kind of snappy ...

    they're nice products. I am quite tempted to upgrade. Don't need to .
