Category:
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) or (micro) processor is the part of a computer where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the processor is the most important element of a computer system, so the performance of a computer is highly dependant on the performance of the processor. For quite some time the performance of a processor has been determined by the number of MHz the clock speed was, but nowadays clock speed doesn't have so much to do with the speed of the processor anymore. One of the best ways to compare different kinds of processors, is to look up benchmarks on the internet. Please be careful to buy a processor that is compatible with your motherboard, i.e. fits in the right socket.

We will be running each through a selection of real world tests to establish how they compare to the latest offerings from AMD, and finding out how well they overclock using the unlocked multiplier.
Bottom line When AMD first released the A-Series of APUs they launched products which offered solid mainstream performance at various price points. These chips were able to take advantage of features such as DirectX11, GPU computing and when combined with a mother...

Being the newest and highest-end addition to AMD’s A-series APU lineup, not only does the A8-3870K feature the much raved about integrated Radeon HD 6550D, but it comes with fully unlocked multipliers for both the CPU and GPU portions...
Bottom line We have always considered $135 A8-3850 to be a good value, and at $145 this new A8-3870K is arguably an even better deal. The 100MHz frequency increase doesn't really mean much in terms of overall performance, but the unlocked multipliers really allow...

A step up from the A8-3850, the AMD A8-3870K APU has a slightly higher clock speed, at 3 GHz compared with 2.9 GHz for the lower-end model. The rest of the tech specs are identical, however, with four cores, no Turbo mode and no alternative to Intel's...
Good Absolute performance of integrated graphics chip...
Bad Power use, Processor could be faster...
Bottom line AMD has made a great step forward with its APUs thanks to a much improved graphics processing unit. However, gamers would still need to use a separate graphics card alongside this APU. Plus, pure processing performances lag behind the competition...

£95inc. VAT (GBP)The AMD APUs so far have made a positive impression with many people, offering mainstream quad core computing with integrated discrete class GPU. By releasing a Black Edition APU with an unlocked multiplier, AMD would have made a lot...

Bad Limited upgrade options...
Bottom line As expected, the AMD A8-3870K performed a touch above the A8-3850 while trading blows in more GPU limited applications. Base performance arguably sits at the top of AMD's 'mainstream' performance bar. As many may be waiting to see what Llano's success...

With their Llano APUs, AMD has some very interesting processors in their portfolio. The A8-3870K is the direct successor of the A8-3850. The "K" at the end of the name indicates that this processor comes with an open multiplyer. This means that this part...
Bottom line With the A83870K, AMD has a really versatile allrounder in its portfolio We very much liked that this CPU was very easy to overclock Setting the multiplyer higher as well as give the CPU a bit more volt is already enough to have some overclocking fun Furh...
