To wrap the performance figures up, it's no surprise that the new APU can't match the CPU-oomph of the Phenoms and higher spec Intel-models, but that's not really the point, either. The thing is, these A-series APUs are never even meant for high perfo...
Abstract: After 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 foremos...
After all the tests we carried out, the final question remains: Does AMDs A-series mainstream APU deliver? We think it does, at least in the target segment it is marketed for. The CPU delivers enough performance for the majority of users and the GPU li...
