Great CPU/GPU

Jahrulez, Newegg
12 March 2013
  • Pros: This is a great little Processor. I was absolutely amazed at the benchmark scores I was getting while gaming with high settings. It's def not meant for a full time gam...
  • Cons: The only reason it low egg score from me is to get your attention. Unless this changes in the future you can currently buy a BRAND NEW A8-3850 cheaper than the refurbi...

A step backwards

Newegg
24 May 2012
  • Pros: It's cheap now. I suppose the graphics core is decent. It will play some recent games at modest resolution. Did I mention it's cheap now. I paid almost a third again a...
  • Cons: This chip is slow, so slow you think it's 2005 again. There's no excuse for selling something this slow even if the graphics core is decent. This chip can't even keep ...

Competes With Intel's Core i3 2120 CPU

Newegg
15 October 2011
  • Summary: It used old Dual Core technology based on L2 Cache. Where's L3 Cache?
  • Pros: The CPU has a nice 32nm build technology with Strong Graphics (A little less power draw than the Phenom Quads). Good 4MB of Cache. Speed is ok.
  • Cons: This would make a great build if you don't care about power draw (150Watts when in use).

Poor CPU

El Sombrero, Newegg
2 October 2011
  • Pros: Cheap, as it should be. This is nothing more than a low end GPU stuck onto a low end CPU.
  • Cons: Power draw is 'ok' at idle, and on light loads it is 'ok', but under real stress, well, don't use the stock HSF -- you will observe throttling. Power is awfully high w...

BAD CPU/GPU

Trent Adams, Newegg
3 August 2011
  • Pros: The processor has the potential to be a good processor and GPU. Although it is not " high-performance" processor, it will work for my photo editing.
  • Cons: The processor was bad from the start. Hopefully this is fixed with the processor that is on its' way. I wish that the amount of ram dedicated to the GPU could be changed.

  • Summary: Was kann man sagen? Auf jeden Fall ist etwas nach Vorwärts gegangen. Die Testergebnisse sind nicht unbedingt weltbewegend, aber akzeptabel.
