To measure power consumption we take a reading from the socket with a calibrated power meter. The power readings are taken when loaded in the last test of 3dmark 11, with the AMD A10 5800k fully active, including the HD7660D. All peripherals, including the monitor, do not factor into this reading.
Power consumption is fantastic, with a maximum draw of 116 watts being drained from the socket.

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
