Asus F2A85-V Pro & AMD A10 5800K Review (w/ HD7660D)

CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.

Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.

New and Improved Features

  • Ultra Fast Media Conversion – With support from the Intel Core i-Series processor family, ATI Stream & NVIDIA CUDA, MediaEspresso’s Batch-Conversion function enables multiple files to be transcoded simultaneously.
  • Smart Detect Technology – MediaEspresso 6 automatically detects the type of portable device connected to the PC and selects the best multimedia profile to begin the conversion without the need for user’s intervention.
  • Direct Sync to Portable Devices – Video, audio and image files can be transferred in a few easy steps to mobile phones including those from Acer, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Palm, as well as Sony Walkman and PSP devices.
  • Enhanced Video Quality – CyberLink TrueTheater Denoise and Lighting enables the enhancement of video quality through optical noise filters and automatic brightness adjustment.
  • Video, Music and Image File Conversion – Convert not only videos to popular formats such as AVI, MPEG, MKV, H.264/AVC, and FLV at the click of a button, but also images such as JPEG and PNG and music files like WMA, MP3 and M4A.
  • Online Sharing – Conversion to video formats used by popular social networking websites and a direct upload feature means posting videos to Facebook and YouTube has never been easier.

For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file (2h:12mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

We are using the newest version which has been optimised for AMD’s A85X platform. Hardware acceleration is enabled.

The final time of 15 minutes and 15 seconds is considerably faster than the Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4/AMD A10 5800K system with HD7970 GHZ Edition (final time of 16m52s). We can assume this is related to the specific A10 5800k, (A85X) hardware algorithms coded into this latest beta version of the software.

  1. looks like a great chip from AMD, I havent though that in quite some time either. Intel must be worried !

  2. Asus make great motherboards, but the prices of these A85X motherboards are stupid. I wouldnt pay this for a board for a £95 chip

  3. 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!

  4. 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?

  5. Yeah ill be getting one of these chips at some stage, but I might wait until it hits a mobile platform near me
