Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Power consumption

The CPU performance is good enough, but GPU performance is excellent. Although power consumption was up there it's not exactly a deal breaker -- and certainly not as ridiculous as the A4-4000 in terms of watts vs. performance. The main downside is that it costs more than the A10-5800K it replaces.

The new Elite A-Series A10-6800K is priced a little higher than its predecessor at Rs 10,000. The A10 is targeted at someone who's looking for a one-stop-solution for a CPU and GPU and would not want to invest more in a discrete card. Yes, you can get a...

Estos nuevos APU pasan a ser una opción más que interesante para quienes cambian de plataforma este año. Costo bajo, rendimiento balanceado y gráficos más que destacables, junto con un consumo acorde a los tiempos de ahora, son algunas de las características que AMD puede ofrecer en sus modelos, donde el A10-6800K se lleva un poco de cada una de ellas.

Value and features is what the this little APU infrastructure offers and as such a A10 6800K with an A75 or A85X based motherboard for normal daily usage is excellent. Obviously it's also great for HTPCs and even a game or two albeit in lower resolutions.

In conclusion, I can't fully get behind a recommendation at this point for the $142 A10-6800K Richland APU. It just doesn't provide the level of performance increase that would justify buying it over last generation's processors. I think there is a good chance that the price of the Richland APUs will drop relatively quickly.

AMD has said from the inception that the idea behind the APU was to be "more than the sum of its parts." While that can be used as a meme for the lowering of expectations, AMD has has once again demonstrated that the "more than the sum of its parts" translates to just that. Power, versatility, and value in a single package.

It will be interesting to see how AMD and Intel compare at that point. Right now, it's difficult to recommend Richland without reservations for desktops. For laptops, it could potentially be a very interesting CPU.

Perhaps when Kaveri rolls around we can have that particular functionality. As it is, Richland is a great standalone APU that should provide enough features and performance to keep it competitive with whatever Intel releases at that price point.
