The Guru of 3D posted a review on the AMD A8 5600K APU



You've probably just read our A10 review, well .. there's more as we are also testing the A8 5600K APU from AMD. The little brother of the A10-5800K has slightly slower clock frequencies and a hint less shader processors harbored in it's IGP. Still this Trinity APU will pack heaps of features that make it very interesting for the entry level PC market. Heck these babies make truly excellent HTPCs as well.

So -- back in May AMD introduced a series of AMD A10 'Trinity' APUs for mobile and notebook solutions. The new APU series is based on a new architecture that should bring it's performance above previously released Llano based products from that same A series.

The new chips came with a codename that you all will recognize, Trinity and Trinity will thus be the successor of the current AMD A4, A6 en A8 Llano-processors.

First and foremost, we are a bit of an enthusiast based website so I need to make it very clear here, the A10 and A8 APU processors are entry level to mid-range targeted processors. That means you are looking at reasonable up-to okay CPU performance versus a greatly enhanced integrated GPU, and all that for very interesting prices. Today's tested is the A10 5800K APU for example will cost roughly 125 EUR.
