AMD A10-6800K Richland Review

Bioshock Infinite and Catzilla

Published: 5th June 2013 | Source: AMD | Price: £116.99 | Author: Jonathan Stones

Bioshock Infinite 

One of the most popular and highly rated games to be released this year, the new instalment to the Bioshock series is heralded for its graphics. As such, it only made sense to include it in our testing. 
We used two different quality presets to do our run-throughs; Low and Normal, both at 1080p. In our results we can see that, same as ever, the AMD's are fighting each other while the i3 limps on behind.

Catzilla

One of the newest arrivals to the world of benchmarks, ALLBenchmark's Catzilla is already a popular option for those looking to test their systems. With a dubstep sound track and mutant cats there's not much that can beat Catzilla in terms of entertainment. 
Moving on to the results and we're only able to compare Kitty and Cat for the APUs, while the i3 point blank refused to run the benchmarks at all. 
From what we can see the Trinity processor is once again being beaten by its successor, but there's not much in it.

I wonder how much the 2133mhz memory would improve scores? Apu's are known for loving fast speeds so running at 2133mhz vs 1333mhz should improve scores quite a bit I would assume. Nevertheless still a great chip.

Good job on this review Josh! I was actually surprised. In the first page(not trying to be picky) I felt there were way to many commas. I ain't no English major but seems too many were used
Keep up the good workQuote

Good work with the review Josh!
That APU seems like a great little chip, for the money!Quote

I was expecting a bit of a bump when it came to GPU performance.

But I guess it makes more sense that this is just really a minor refresh, given that Kaveri is supposed to arrive towards the back half of the year.Quote

I don't really understand why you ran your 1600mhz hyper-x at 1333. You have deliberately nerfed performance of the GPU. If users look at other reviews where the correct memory frequency was used (2133) the performance gains of the gpu are noticeable over the 5800k and destroy the intel i-3.

Bottom line - this is not a fair "real world test" who uses 1600mhz ram at 1333 mhz... REALLY.
I mean who even buys 1333mhz ram these days - NOBODY.
My conclusion is that you are just a bunch of intel lackeys...
Rerun the test fairly please.Quote

We ran at 1333 as we do ALL stock runs. Even the haswell review stock tests are at 1333 because thats what systems auto set themselves too.

Josh did not have time to run faster mem tests, all results in this review we ran while he was here the other week. Adding in extra mem speeds would have required a: them all to match to be comparable and b: taken twice as long which was just not possible.

I can say in our testing 2133 was not achievable with the Richland APU on test today.Quote
