Seems like AMD just released the new kid for their APU lineup

the A10-6700 and A10-6800K

both are under the Richland design with support for DDR3 2133Mhz for the 5800k

another good thing is that the current FM2 board can support the new APU once you do a BIOS update




PCMark 8 being used




3DMark 2013


Although performance isnt far away from the A10-5800k

the 6800k could outperform much better when comparing against the Intel Core i7-4770k which is running only its onboard Intel GMA

The GPU performance increase is impressive. I would like to see some benchmarks with this chip in hybrid crossfire with a 6670 (or the 7750, which it's rumored to be able to CF with also).

Legitreviews only compared it to 8-threaded i7's. Looking at comparisons with a broader spectrum of CPUs (here) suggests that it performs somewhere around the FX-4300. The GPU is about half again more powerful than the 4770k's and looks in general to be around the 6570 in power based on its core config and clocks (fewer stream processors, but higher clocks). That raises concerns about uneven GPU loading in hybrid crossfire with something like a 6670, but that's why I'd like to see how it does, especially in frame time tests.

I still want to see some overclocked gaming benchies.

I'd also like to see some underclocked 6800k reviews to see if it can equal or beat a 6700 at the same power requirements. If so it might make for a better silent media center PC with some light gaming capabilities.

just to add on their notebook edition of the A10-5600M are on sale at my local PC show this weekend

MSI gaming notebook sports the APU with HD8970 Radeon to X-Fire with the APU

Buying a 6670 is useless for price comparison when you can just buy a cheap dual core and pick up a $150 GPU. When Kaveri comes out with GDDR 5 support, that will be a game changer. Richland APU's are just a small increase in performance over the Trinity line up.
