Memory Read test

AMD A8 3870K APU

Obviously we also had to peek at memory bandwidth performance. AMD uses merely a tweaked version of the STARS (Athlon II / Phenom II) design memory controller so we can't expect the bandwidth numbers a Sandy Bridge processor pumps out. But there's definitely a measurable performance difference.

Memory Write test

AMD A8 3870K APU

We did the same with the memory write tests. While Intel absolutely dominates with the memory controller based on-die Nehalem family processors, the Llano memory controller is quite good.

Sandra Memory Index

AMD A8 3870K APU

One more memory test, here we make use of the Sandra Memory performance test, it gives us an index score of overall memory performance.

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.
