Super Pi is used by a huge audience, particularly to check stability when overclocking processors and memory. If a system is able to calculate PI to the 2 millionth place after the decimal without mistake, it is considered to be stable in regards to RAM and CPU. This program will also allow us to outline performance gains created by overclocked CPU and RAM frequencies.
We test with the 32M Calculation.
The final time of 22 minutes and 58 seconds is reasonable, considering the low power nature of the A10 5800K.
looks like a great chip from AMD, I havent though that in quite some time either. Intel must be worried !
Asus make great motherboards, but the prices of these A85X motherboards are stupid. I wouldnt pay this for a board for a £95 chip
I wasnt expecting this to be that good, so im shocked. I can see this being really popular for media centers and small chassis builds.
If they did a deal on motherboard and chip for £130 all in, that would be great. I can hope!
I noticed on the Cinebench test that the A10 smashes the Core i7 2640M at standard clocks. Obviously it wouldn’t get near a desktop Intel i7, but this result must be a strong indication of what A10 can do in Ultrabooks, no? How much will A10 get crippled to fit inside a mobile solution?
Yeah ill be getting one of these chips at some stage, but I might wait until it hits a mobile platform near me
