AMD A10 6800K review

We review the 145 EUR AMD A10 6800K APU processor that you guys know under codename Richland. Based on Piledriver architecture this processor slash graphics hybrid symbiosis called APU remains hard to beat in terms of features performance and well all the goodness you can expect from a great APU. Value and fun is what the platform offers. Our conclusion stands, a A10 6800K with an A75 or A85X based motherboard for normal daily usage is just fine, it's great for HTPCs and even a game or two, albeit in lower resolutions and quality levels.

Wouldn't it be enough for puzzle or Indie game? or minecraft? or for Source engine games? etc...? no?
Every single person playing Crysis 3 these days?
Will you be able to play Crysis 3 on your new rig, WAROQ?

DRAM timings of 13-13-14-32?
Also, it appears the A10-6800K supports DDR3-2133 natively, it is the lower models that only support DDR3-1866 natively. I'm sure with a couple of sticks of DDR3-2133 with decent timings (13-13-14-32 is quite disgusting at 1866!) it would give a bit better results.

I agree. I was gutted that the reviewer just did not bother to do the test on 2133MHz (I assume the board didn't support it). Still happy with the performance and ordered it!

damn 2 new processors released within the same week and both of them were disappointing. At least the 6800K seems to have more performance gains over it's predecessor compared to the i7-4770k to the 3770k (though, only Windows seemed to not get any performance gains with the 4770k, Linux makes the upgrade more worth it).
Also, I personally would find it interesting if there were to be a dual-socket FM2 board. Crossfire the 2 IGPs, get a 6670, and you've got yourself a decent system. Probably not that cost effective though.

Nice article. Can you please do a test with the discrete GPU which the 6800k supports? How much performance increase can we see from a combo in crossfire support.
Looks like I'll be waiting for Kaveri then.
