We review the AMD Athlon 845, a quad-core processor that can be seated into FM2/FM2+ compatible motherboards. It is the first processor from AMD that we test that is based on the Carrizo architecture, which was announced for their mobile platform exactly a year ago at Computex.

AMD needs to get Zen out as soon as possible so that we would have the first interesting AMD CPU review in a good long while. No, it would actually be the first interesting CPU review at all for years, since Intel is only producing more of the same with pitiful gains in this no competition situation.

Looks like it would bottleneck even those cards.
Sadly in this times for people who game i would recommend even some Pentium cpu before this.
Come on Zen...
I think RX-470/460 would be optimal for this CPU.

For a budget machine for gaming, this could be an awesome CPU. It can overclock on average about 4.1-4.3 BLK clocking from what reviews have shown of it.
For a cpu under $80 that's not bad.
Sounds like a great CPU... for browsing the internet.

But those choke on multi threaded workloads. Anything below i5 is not that great. But for 60Hz gamers, even that Pentium is mostly OK.
I would call i3-6100 as king of low cost gaming if OC was a guaranteed thing.
But even then it can't be reasonably compared. CPU costs nearly double. You want to pair it with DDR4 and that means decent MB

It seems to be a decent jump from 7870 in terms of core performance considering 3.5/3.8 clocks vs 3.9/4.1
