AMD A10-5800k APU Processor Review

AIDA64

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

When looking at memory performance, we are quite surprised by the read and copy speeds which are a lot higher than we expected. The write speeds were quite a lot lower than what we expect but being used to Intel architecture, it comes as no surprise.

With the type of market and range of users these processors are aimed at, memory latency and bandwidth isn’t going to be a major priority and will most likely see the Trinty series of APUs being paired with 1600MHz memory maximum.
