AMD A10 6800K review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/05/2013 07:09 AM [ 33 comment(s) ]

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.

Doesn't make me feel bad about buying the 5800k for my backup rig a few months back. Phew... :)

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.

Multi-threaded Video Transcoding looks funny.

I still think DDR3 is way too limited for heavy APU's. You have to spend good money for fast ram in order to achieve good performance. And it comes into discrete GPU teritorry then.

But as a number crunching cluster, yeah it rocks. I hope some linux windows kernels natively will include OCL acceleration on certain dumb tasks, not via the GPU driver layer.

BLEH!

Looking at one of these for a home server. A85X is an awesome chipset and one of these I could well leave running 24/7 quietly in another room.
