Thankfully, the forthcoming Unigine OilRush game is not as demanding as the Tropics and Heaven tech-demos, so it should be able to run fine on the Llano APUs bearing HD 6550D graphics. Stay tuned for the rest of the more interesting performance tests...

There's good news and less-good news about AMD's new A8-3870K Accelerated Processing Unit (or APU). The good news is that it surpasses its predecessor, the A8-3850, in every way (if only slightly), and provides overclocking features and performance potent...

Any Llano Lynx based platform (A4, A6 and series A8 APUs) offers value for money really. The strong point of Llano obviously is the embedded GPU and, combined with their A75 chipset, features like native SATA-600 and USB 3.0 support. Next to that, the pow...

AMD has recently released a few new APUs across all markets bearing speed jumps compared to the original offerings. There is more than just speed increases in the desktop segment, however; enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that AMD just introduced u...
The main selling point of the A8-3870K over the A8-3850 is of course its unlocked frequency parameters. Are they really worth it? The overclocked frequency and processor tests have shown that there is less to be gained in the overclocked state than at...

Earlier this year we saw AMD launch its first Fusion accelerated processing unit (APU) called the Brazos platform (codenamed Zacate). Although the performance was not stellar, and certainly not meant to be, the engineering was a first, incorporating th...
The release of Llano was exactly what AMD needed in June. Platforms were stagnant and Bulldozer has proven to be a mixed bag at the upper performance end. But the mainstream is where the profits tend to be made, and those target consumers aren’t prone...

When looking at the Lynx platform as a whole, the market is perfect for a mainstream user, and not anyone else. This is where I am a bit puzzled about the release of an "unlocked" Llano processor. Enthusiast and high end users aren't going to be buying...

The addition of an unlocked multiplier is always a fantastic tool to have at your disposal if you're keen on this overclocking malarkey. We're still a little bitter about the fact that overclocking Intel's budget CPUs is so limited too - imagine a Pent...

We'll be taking a somewhat different two-tiered approach with our coverage of AMD's new Trinity-based APUs for desktop systems today. AMD is lifting the veil on their new product line-up, in addition to graphics performance and power consumption, but we c...
Power efficiency has also been improved on these Trinity-based desktop APUs, but Intel's architectural and manufacturing advantages give them a huge edge in power. Idle power consumption was similar across all of the platform, but under load the A10-5800K...
