The AMD Lynx Platform comes at a decent price and offers DX11 compatible integrated graphics, which is more than enough for performing some of the daily tasks or watching HD multimedia content. For increasing the 3D performance even further, we can either overclock the APU or buy a separate graphics card from the supported models (RADEON HD 6400, 6500 or 6600 Series).
New platforms are particularly interesting to us as home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts because it gives us a chance to clearly see how a generation of progress can be transformed into tangible benefits. Not long ago, integrated graphics processors (IGP) were strictly the choice of budget-minded consumers, but the recent relocation of the graphics processing unit (GPU) from the chipset to the processor made it a “first-class” citizen and brought new life to the solution while birthing a new concept – integrated processor graphics (IPG). AMD was not the first to release an IPG, or APU (accelerated processing unit) as they refer to it, but with the introduction of the Brazos/Zacate line earlier this year, a glimpse of Lynx/Llano’s promise became available. As a platform aimed at the ultra-portable market, Zacate demands significant compromise for use as a dedicated HTPC. Llano’s mainstream desktop orientation, combining a full featured GPU and capable CPU, should address those tradeoffs with enough headroom and flexibility to provide solutions along the spectrum of client and server HTPC. As we have with Intel’s Sandy Bridge family of IPGs, we plan to evaluate each step in AMD’s lineup – starting today with the 65W 2.4 GHz A8-3800,coupled with a GIGABYTE A75M-UD2H microATX motherboard.
Today we have the A6-3650 on our test bench along with the Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 motherboard to find out how these models fit into the current marketplace. We'll be running each through a selection of synthetic and real world tests to see just who each appeals to.
In October last year AMD released the FX8150 Black Edition 8 Core processor which met with a mixed reception. While the chip delivered good performance, it was priced too high and couldn’t compete against equivalent Intel processors.
I'm quite a fan of the Fusion platform; I've built myself a really nice little HTPC for my room based around the AMD Brazos platform using the wonderful ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe Motherboard. Today we see the next level of Fusion, introduced to us in the form of the Llano platform and the Lynx APU. The Llano platform is what AMD hope will become the mainstream platform to use; based on what we saw from the Brazos platform we have to say that there's a good chance they're heading in the right direction.
AMD’s latest chipset offering adds in some interesting new features, including support for the upcoming 8-core processors and re-introducing SLI on the AMD platform. Does it make sense to buy now?
Ende 2011 erschien der langersehnte Bulldozer von AMD auf dem europäischen Markt. Die neue FX-Prozessorfamilie soll aufgrund der großzügigen Kompatibilität seitens AMD auch auf der vorangegangenen AM3 Plattform laufen, jedoch mit leichten Einschränkungen. Selbstverständlich belässt der US-Konzern es nicht dabei und schieb nun den Sockel AM3+ nach, der als offizieller Nachfolger sowie als Vollendung des, fast drei Jahre alten AM3, gilt. Als neuer Chipsatz soll auf den AM3+ Platinen die AMD 9xx Serie ihren Einsatz finden. Wie schon bekannt, schickt AMD zuerst einen Low End- (970), einen Mid Range (990X), sowie einen High End-Chipsatz (990FX) ins Rennen. Wir möchten uns in diesem Roundup mit letzterem beschäftigen.
Die neue 8er-Chipsatzserie von AMD ließ einige Zeit auf sich warten. Ob sich das Warten auf die neuen Mainboards gelohnt hat, klären unsere heutigen vier Kandidaten mit 890GX-Chipsatz: Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3, Biostar TA890GXE, Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H und MSI 890GXM-G65 – und zwar im Vergleich mit Asus M3A78-T sowie Asus M4A79T Deluxe auf Basis von 790GX bzw. 790FX.
The collective image of an AMD 890GX-based motherboard is quite attractive. It's a mid-end feature-rich full-size ATX model with two graphics slots, SATA 6Gbps support and an optional but nevertheless provided USB 3.0 controller. Besides, MSI demonstrated that the same functionality could be compacted into the mATX form factor as well.
Mitte 2008 stellte AMD mit seinen Chipsatz 790GX samt dem Phenom II X4 eine gänzlich neue Generation vor, welche auch unter dem Namen "Dragon-Plattform" bekannt wurde. Gut zwei Jahre später ist es nun soweit, AMD präsentiert in Verbindung mit dem Phenom II X6 den 890GX Chipsatz. Diesmal tauft der amerikanische Chip-Hersteller die Plattform auf den Codenamen "Leo". Wir wollen nun herausfinden, was sich seit 2008 verändert hat. Die wichtigsten Neuerungen sind das USB 3.0 Interface und die SATA 3.0 Schnittstelle.
