A10-6800K APU (2013 D.Ri)

The AMD A10-6800K is a Black Edition quad-core Richland APU based on second generation Bulldozer micro-architecture (codenamed Piledriver) launched in Q2 2013. It features Cayman-derived Integrated HD 8670 Graphics which are a marginal improvement on the Radeon HD 7660D graphics featured in the A10-6800K’s predecessor: the A10-5800K and which outperform the integrated graphics on comparable Intel Core i3 and i5 chips. The A10-6800K has a clock speed of 4.0 GHz, which automatically turbo boosts to 4.4 GHz when needed and can further be overclocked to 5.0 GHz on air cooling. The A10-6800K scores an effective speed of 73 which is okay, but compared to the similarly aged and priced i3-4130, it lacks in single-threaded performance. The A10-6800K is a good choice for those wanting reasonable CPU performance and integrated graphics on a budget. ^{[Dec '14 CPUPro]}
