Recently AMD announced their next generation of APUs with Trinity branding heavily featured. This new range of chips enhances performance and features and first to market is the mobile range, followed later in the year by desktop parts. Today we have AMDs reference mobile platform on our test bench to find out how the new A10 range performs in a selection of real world tests.
On 15th May 2012, AMD will launch the successor of their consumer oriented Fusion A-series "Llano" APUs, codenamed "Trinity", which will be powered by their new "Piledriver" cores (still 32nm follow-up of the much derided Bulldozer). We take an exclusive look at the architecture behind it... and run full suite of benchmarks in an upcoming piece.
Less than two days ago, Benchmark Reviews received the latest and greatest APUs from AMD; the A10-5800K and the A8-5600K. They don't launch in the retail market for a couple of weeks, but we are bringing you the low down in a special preview of the newest Accelerated Processing Units about to become available. The Second Generation APUs follow along the same lines as last year's APU releases by AMD with some notable upgrades in both CPU and GPU performance. The new "Trinity" series of APUs also comes with a new chipset and socket that are surprisingly not backwards compatible with the first generation "Llano" series of APUs.
Every other review site today will be harping on, and rightfully so. about how AMD's Trinity Radeon cores crushes the competition's HD2500/4000 in gaming graphics performance at a budget Core i3-ish price point. We at VR-Zone reckon that the average Trinity A-series APU buyer probably still has some aspirations in life, and a desire to play games smoothly on their Full HD displays. So what happens when we throw in a mid-range discrete GPU like the US$240 HD7870 (Pitcairn) into the mix? Will we see crippling CPU bottlenecks?
After using the AMD Trinity reference notebook we found it to be a very satisfying experience. AMD's new Piledriver-based Trinity APU delivers where it needs to and that is all one can ask of a mainstream processor. Sure, we wish AMD processors had a little more x86 muscle for when we need to render a video or crunch numbers, but...
You always need to be at least a little suspicious when a company shows you a set of comparative benchmarks. But, as they say, forwarned is forarmed. AMD had a number of systems on show in London yesterday and world famous overclocking expert (and now AMD PR expert) Sami Makinen on hand to show some of the cooler features.
Who hasn't heard about the following phrase? The Future is Fusion ! Unless you have been living under a rock for the last years, this AMD marketing slogan was pretty much everywhere. AMD wanted to create a platform that was mainly very affordable, where a dedicated graphics card was not a must, while being power efficient, especially for the mobile market and up to the task to satisfy our multimedia, digital desires/needs. One option already existed in the form of an integrated graphic chips solutions on the motherboard. However the latter had non-conforming performance for todays standards. This all lead to the creation of the APU, Accelerated Processing Unit. The first steps to make Fusion a reality. The FM1 socket Llano CPUs was AMD's first succesful try in this new market. As usual the competition caught up, so time for a new revision of the AMD APU. Hello world this is platform Virgo calling... Time to have a look at AMD's latest Trinity socket FM2 APU.
Today AMD announced three new platforms called Temash, Kabini and Richland. These promise improved energy-efficiency and higher performance, and add a number of features that are supposed to make our lives easier.
zeitgleich mit dem Topmodell Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition schickt AMD den Phenom II X4 840 ins Rennen. Entgegen seines Namens ist die CPU aber ein Athlon II X4, dennoch ist er mehr als einen Blick wert.
Back in January 2009 AMD took a major step forward with their first Phenom II processors. A little over a year later now, the next big evolution has arrived! AMD has brought the first affordable six-core desktop processor to market. Codenamed Thuban, this X6 processor features two additional cores over the existing AMD Phenom II X4 Deneb design.
