Product Showcase - AMD A10-5700 APU
Here you can see the AMD Trinity APU. Pretty much as big as any other Llano FM1 APU or Phenom or even Athlon II processors you may have seen. This one has a Northbridge and a GPU merged into it though. And it makes all the difference.
AMD 'A' series APUs Generation 2 will not fit on Socket AM3/AM3+ though, the processors have a new socket design called FM2. Your Socket AM3/AM3+ CPU cooler however remains compatible with FM2. We fitted the good old OCZ Vendetta cooler without any issues.
Here we can see the laser inscription on the APU. This APU can be found for roughly 115 EUR in the stores right now.
We have two Trinity APUs at hand. We'll focuss on the A10 5700 APU though. It runs at 3400 Mhz and can turbo towards 4000 MHz.
