The CPU performance won’t match Intel's Sandy Bridge, but AMD's impressive GPU in the new A-Series Llano chip compensates. Here's our review....
By PC Authority onA great step forward has been made on the APU side with a much improved graphics part. Unfortunately, there still isn't enough graphics muscle to allow you to dispense with a graphics card for gaming. Pure processor performance is also a good deal down...
By DigitalVersus onAMD's flagship model of its new A-Series range of desktop Llano Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) â the AMD A8-3850 â launched last month. At the same time, AMD announced a cheaper, less powerful APU, the A6-3650 â which we have now jammed...
By TechRadar onIts graphics performance lags behind the A8-3850, but the A6-3650 is just as fast in Crossfire mode and not far off in 2D applications...
By Expert Reviews onAMD's second-rung APU is the A6-3650, which currently retails for £89. Based on the range-topping A8-3850, which itself is barely over £100, the number-two part sacrifices around 10 per cent CPU speed and, on paper, about 25 per cent GPU power in...
By HEXUS.net onBenchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86...
By Tom's Hardware onThis time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important...
By iXBT Labs onAMD have flaunted the word 'Fusion' for a number of years now, but Fusion is now here firmly in the present. Offering an affordable, well balanced combination of processing power and graphics that cater for the needs of an ever developing visual...
By vortez.net onWe’ve written a lot about AMD’s first Llano CPU lately, but time was scarce on each occasion, and we’ve somehow failed to look at it from the practical side. In the meantime, another CPU from the series came out, as did a new motherboard signed by...
By InsideHW onThe A6-3650 APU is a quad core CPU with decent performance integrated graphics supporting DX11 which exceeds by far the current IGP performance from Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs. The Lynx platform as a whole can be recommended for people that will not...
By MadShrimps onThe A8-3650 is just what AMD needed before the release of Bulldozer. Zacate, Llano and soon-to-appear Bulldozer looks to give AMD a powerful 1-2-3 punch in the marketplace. OEM manufacturers are chomping at the bit at Fusion technology coupled with a...
By Pureoverclock onAfter the launch of the first mobile A Series APUs, AMD has now officially launched the desktop processor models. Only two have been launched for now, the A8-3850 and the A6-3650, and we’ve tested them both for you. For AMD, APUs are first and...
By BeHardware onAMD's Bulldozer architecture is still a few more months away, but now we at least have new APUs to tinker with in the mean time. And while Brazos APUs were aimed at 'surrogates' like nettops/netbooks, the new Sabine and Lynx platforms are more...
By iXBT Labs onAs you might know, AMD has managed to remain the leader in graphic chipsets, but Intel still holds both the mobile and hybrid computing markets. This is where the Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) comes in to play for it is a combination of CPU and...
