With AMDs’ Llano and Bulldozer line releasing within 8 months of each other it was only a matter of time before we saw them merge. The main complaint about Llano was the inability to overclock anything. Well now we see 2 unlocked versions come into the market: the A8-3870k and the A6-3670k. With AMDs rich heritage in overclocking and GPUs what kind of performance can we expect out of these? Lets first take a look at the new line desktop Llano APUs.
# of Cores | CPU Speed (Ghz) | TDP | Radeon Cores | Cache | |
A8-3870K | 4 | 3.0 | 100 | 400 | 4MB L2 |
A8-3820 | 4 | 2.5 | 65 | 400 | 4Mb L2 |
A6-3670K | 4 | 2.7 | 100 | 320 | 4MB L2 |
A6-3620 | 4 | 2.2 | 65 | 320 | 4Mb L2 |
A4-3420 | 2 | 2.8 | 65 | 160 | 1MB L2 |
This new line still features Dx11 and AMDs Steady Video feature through the Vision Engine. The A8-3870K features a 6550D with 600Mhz base clock speed which can be Crossfired with a discrete card for even more power. We’ll look into the amount of flexibility the unlocking of this chip gives us.
