Maximum PC: It's kind of ironic that AMD once pooh-pooh'd the whole MHz/GHz craze back when Intel was kicking tail with its Netburst architecture, because these days, the Sunnyvale chip designer is making headlines based on clockspeed. If you recall, AMD was quick to point out that its FX-9590 Piledrive part qualified as the world's first commercially available 5GHz processor (Turbo speed). Now just a couple of weeks later, an overclocker just set a record with AMD's A10 6800K processor.
eXtremespec - AMD expand the lineup of hybrid processors Richland with the 3 new Models - A6-6420K, A4-6320 and A4-4020. These chips have become available to U.S. buyers last week.
ChipLoco: Two weeks back, AMD released its latest Richland APUs with flagship being the quad-core A-10 6800K. The company has classified Richlands APUs as Elite A-series which feature the latest Radeon HD 8000 series integrated graphics. A famous overclocker from Finland, The “Stilt” broke the 8GHz barrier on the chip using LN2.
Maximum PC: That doesn’t mean AMD still can’t give Intel a hard time. While AMD can’t compete with the Core i7-3970X or even the Core i7—4770K, the company’s rush to merge CPU and GPU to make the APU has put more pressure on Intel than Intel would probably want to admit.
overall the benchmarks are meh. but still interesting. not my thing or idea for a next right cpu but maybe for clients.
that's really fast
