Unfortunately we had stability issues when overclocking the A10-6800K with our Biostar Hi-Fi A85W, despite updating it to the latest edition of the BIOS so we are only including stock results in this test.
While we were easily able to get the system to boot at 4.8 GHz, we couldn't achieve stability at more than 4.4 GHz.
If you wanted to upgrade from the A8 5600k how much additional performance would you get? Today we will find out.

They are good value for what you get. add in a HD7870 and you also have a cheap, powerful gaming rig at 1080p
Great for media center, no need for a discrete card.
This was really useful to me, I have an older A8 and wanted to sell it, and put £70 towards a new gen model. It looks to be worth the move, especially for HD gaming.
AMD rule in the low end, I just wish they could get something out at £300 to kick intels ass.
The Gaming FPS tests have me confused. Are those the results with or without the dual graphics??? Or is it with the discrete graphics solution? I would like to see the performance with dual graphics.
is the a10-6800k good for video editing and 3d rendering also? just struggling to find a good amd processor. thank you.
