Processors   Articles:   AMD A6 3500 APU review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/25/2012 We look at entry level hardware, for a great deal you get some processor power and actually quite some decent GPU power all harbored inside that processor. We'll go even weirder though, as today we'll be testing a triple core APU, yes that is an APU with three physical CPU cores activated, instead of the four you expected. This three CPU cores product was actually announced back in August already but now finally seems to be available in good volume in the stores, at the nice price of only 70 EUR here in the Netherlands.   AMD A8 3870K review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/18/2012 Based on the Lynx APU architecture, the AMD A8-3870K BE APU has unlocked multipliers, that means we can not only boost the processor performance a bit, but also the internal GPU.   Radeon HD 7970 CPU scaling performance review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/23/2011 We grab eight different processors from AMD and Intel, and have a peek if modern age processor make a performance diffence with the Radeon HD 7970. Will a 1000 USD processor offer much more performance compared to a 250 USD processor ? Let's find out shall we.   Core i7 3960X processor & MSI X79A-GD65 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/14/2011 Today an article covering the Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) and X79 based motherboards. An update to the true high-end six-core processor series aimed at consumers. we test with a final sample X79 motherboard from MSI. This article will also review the MSI X79A-GD65 8D. Next to that the fellas from G.Skill provided a Sandy-Bridge-E quad channel memory kit that blew us of our feet, 16GB G.Skill RipjawsZ series memory that with the flick of a BIOS setting to XMP runs stable at 2133 MHz in quad channel.   AMD FX 8150 - 8120 - 6100 and 4100 performance review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/13/2011 In this article we'll look at all four processors, the AMD FX 8150 - 8120 - 6100 and 4100 in a quickie performance review. This article is nothing more then a performance overview of all four processors released yesterday. So this article is basically functions as a performance chart overview.   AMD FX 8150 processor review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/12/2011 We review the AMD FX 8150 processor today. Previously know as Zambezi with its Bulldozer cores, today the FX series is released. It will be AMD's most high-end and complicated to fab processor series to date, yet will remain an affordable processor series. As you probably know, the product tested today has eight (!) physical CPU cores, it will have a base clock of 3600 MHz, may Turbo towards 3900 MHZ and can peak a thread or two at a cool 4200 MHz. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded monster. You can read our review right here.   Sandy Bridge-E and X79 preview by Hilbert Hagedoorn 9/28/2011 Today we bring you a preview covering the Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) processor and X79 based motherboard. An update to the true high-end six-core processor series aimed at consumers. A processor based on 32nm technology that comes with most of the bells and whistles we have learned to like and love of the current Sandy Bridge processor generation.   AMD A8-3800 Llano processor review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/22/2011 The A8 series processors are entry level to mid-range targeted processors (well -- APUs). So we are looking at reasonably up-to okay CPU performance versus a rather kick ass integrated GPU, and all that for prices that are very interesting. Today's tested A8 3800 APU will cost roughly 89 EUR, and you get a whole lotta CPU/GPU for that money.   AMD A6-3650 APU review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 7/20/2011 AMD recently released the A8 series APUs and though not expensive they also released APU's that are even more affordable. Currently the A8 3850 APU will cost you roughly 110 EUR. Now if you can live with a tiny bit less performance then the A6 3650 APU can be spotted for 90 EUR already. Yep it still packs a nice 320 Shader cores... that's right. That's really a huge leap in performance for integrated graphics alright; though not as fast as the 400 SP counting 3850 of course. For those that immediately noticed it, correct -- these processors do not have a shared L3 cache. Anyway, we'll talk all about the features and architecture over the next pages of course. So before we dive a little deeper into the performance of the processor review I wanted to quickly talk about the APU and the technology behind it.   AMD A8-3850 APU review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/30/2011 Combine the power of a CPU and a GPU then tie a Northbridge into that product and boom -- AMD calls the end product an APU. We take a look at the AMD A8-3850 APU in combination with the new A75 motherboard chipset. Let's have a peek at what AMD brings to the table.
