AMD’s Trinity APUs have only been in the wild for a few days, but some have already taken on the challenge of pushing the new desktop silicon to its limits. By giving the A10-5800K model 1.956 volts, disabling two of its cores and cooling it with liquid nitrogen, overclockers were able to push the chip to 7.3GHz. Air-cooling and 1.616 volts squeezed out 5.1GHz without sacrificing any cores. If you’re a mere mortal who’s fresh out of liquid nitrogen (or never had any to begin with), you should be able to comfortably bump CPU performance by roughly 10 percent and GPU speeds by 15 to 17 percent. For the full specs on this particular overclock, hit the source links below.

Being the industry underdog indicates you’re constantly in requirement of a punchy pitch. Fortunately, AMD’s most current briefing to journalists in London yesterday included precisely that: for something like the expense of an Intel Core i3 you’ll be able to pick up an overclockable Trinity A10-5800K which, we’re told, belongs in the exact same weight class as a Core i5 with HD 4000 graphics. Exact pricing won’t be exposed until the full pile of A10, A8, A6 and A4 processors hits racks next week, however the top-end A10 will likely cost around $ 130, based upon current leakages and a glance at exactly what Newegg currently charges for an i3. Unluckily, nevertheless, whereas Ivy Bridge worked with some previous-generation motherboards, Trinity will require the purchase of a new Socket FM2 motherboard.

The claim of performance parity with the Core i5 simply cries out to be tested, but we’ll have to wait till very early October before we can round up conclusions from full reviews on expert sites. In the meantime, look at the More Protection links below for some very early previews. Additionally, if you need something more directly head-to-head with an Intel chip, then that’s precisely what you’ll locate in the video after the break, albeit under AMD’s auspices and solely in connection to a single game, Resting Dogs. As you’ll see, there’s absolutely nothing to turn hardcore gamers against separate graphics cards, and there are no clues about non-gaming performance (which is arguably more pertinent on an APU-powered system). However the A10-5800K does supply a lot of scope for escapism on a low-power HTPC or all-in-one. Without a doubt, the more expensive Core i5 is left for dirt, not least since it’s locked– unlike AMD, Intel charges a premium for its overclockable K-denoted chips. We’ll include additional preview links as they appear.

You can not get a Core i3 on Newegg immediately for much less than $ 130– an amount that’ll place you practically at the bottom of the Ivy Bridge league with a dual-core processor, 3MB cache and HD 2500 (i.e. not HD 4000) integrated graphics. That’s why it’s fascinating to see these leaked AMD Trinity rates over at retailer BLT. If they’re exact, they show that the exact same quantity of money might manage a top-end Trinity A10 processor with overclockable 3.8 GHz quad-cores, 4MB cache and greatly exceptional Radeon HD 7660D graphics. At the other end of AMD’s array, a dual-core A4-5300 APU might cost as little as $ 60. The only catch we can easily see– apart from the problem of accuracy– is that by the time these processors actually become readily available competing Intel could well have chosen to adjust its very own prices. In reality, Chipzilla merely launched some brand-new Ivy Bridge processors over the weekend that brought the price of entry down to $ 117– which goes to reveal that absolutely nothing stands still for long. Head past the break for some formal games benchmark claims about the A10, or see Even more Coverage for bonus.
