As rumored earlier, AMD Richland desktop APUs are coming in early June and we now have some of the first benchmark results of the upcoming flagship A10-6800K APU.

In case you missed it, AMD's Richland APUs will feature an improved Piledriver CPU architecture that will be paired up with Radeon HD 8000 GPU part. Despite its name, the HD 8000 GPU part is not based on the Sea Islands but it is rather a higher clocked part already seen with Trinity APUs. The A10-6800K is an impressive quad-core part clocked at 4.1GHz base and 4.4GHz Boost CPU clocks. It feature 4MB of L2 cache, 100W TDP and comes with HD 8670D graphics part with 384 stream processor and 844MHz GPU clock.

The GPU performance has been mostly improved on the upcoming Richland parts but it will also feature a higher CPU clocks while maintaining the same 100W max TDP. In some benchmarks that Zol.com.cn site managed to run, A10-6800K scored P1773 in 3DMark 11 Performance benchmark and scored 3.7 points in Cinebench R11.5. It also managed to run Fritz Chess benchmark and scored 7512 Kilonodes/s while AIDA 64 cache and memory results are at 12696/10331/18001/59.3ms (Read/Write/Copy/Latency).

The Aida64 scores puts it between the FX-8150 and the FX-8350 on various configuration and higher clocked RAM which makes sense while latency benchmark is closer to Phenom II X6 1100T which is still a great result considering that this is an APU rather than a high-end CPU paired up with a good discrete GPU, which justifies the 3DMark 11 scores.

In any case, we'll be seeing some official benchmarks early in June and even possibly as soon as Computex kicks off next week.
