The AMD FX-4100 is an inexpensive entry level quad-core processor. It was released in Q4 of 2011 and at the time was AMD’s budget chip on its latest Bulldozer architecture. Its base clock speed of 3.6 GHz boosts to 3.8 GHz in turbo mode and with appropriate cooling can be over-clocked to speeds of 4.9 GHz. Even though these numbers appear impressive, the real world effective speed only averages 59. This should be fine for general computing and even gaming when coupled with an appropriate GPU. It’s the FX-4100’s single-core performance which lets it down when compared to similarly priced Intel processors such as the Core i3-3225. Since the majority of daily computing relies single core performance typical desktop users will find better value elsewhere. [Nov '14 CPUPro]

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]
