MaxxMem2 PreView is a useful, free program to rate memory performance. It can be downloaded over here.
We used the same Patriot memory configured at 2,133mhz in a Core i3 2105 system and the AMD system on test today. As we noticed earlier in the month, the AMD A10 platform seems to be memory bandwidth restricted. These results are mirrored in the Sandra benchmark, earlier in the review today.
Wow! Very nice review. Good job AMD! Really liking this a lot! This is more competitive compared the bulldozers and piledriver processors.
Its quite an ugly looking motherboard on a colour scheme level (not important to some I guess). thankfully they seem to be improving their bioses. been following their motherboards here since they started doing them….

I like this new range of low end processors from AMD, they perform really well. anyone remember ATOM? yeah, not fondly. it was sh$t
That SATA arrangement seems unnecessary. I can only assume the engineering wiring on the multi layer PCB had to be routed a specific way making the layout impossible for level port positioning.
I suppose you could use the angled connectors, although they might still connect with a larger graphics card.
Who uses mSATA however? the drives are very expensive.
would make more sense if they did a mini itx version of it for media centers only.
