AMD A8 X4 3650

AMD A8-3850 or a new addition to the familyAPU (Accelerated Processing Unit) AMD Fusion.It is based on an innovative architecture connection 4 x86 processor cores, graphics core with support for Microsoft DirectX 11, DDR3 memory controller, and North Bridge with PCI Express 20 interface on a single chip 32nm.This architecture codenamed Llano brings significantly less power than if it were a separate component, and is the perfect solution for users looking for a cheap computer middle class.

The biggest attraction is the integrated graphics processor core AMD Radeon HD 6550D.It is the most powerful graphics solution that so far has been integrated into the chipset or directly to the processor.Its performance is comparable with separate graphics cards base class.His biggest rival Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 beats not only support DirectX 11, but also significantly higher gaming performance and even better compatibility with games.AMD Radeon HD 6550D also includes its own video decoder UVD 3, which deserves a major acceleration of HD video formats.If you iGPU performance was not enough, there is the AMD Dual Graphics technology, which resembles a hybrid CrossFireX involvement when the iGPU cooperating with a number of graphics cards AMD Radeon HD 6000th

Processing power is divided between 4 full physical cores, the performance can be compared to a number of AMD Athlon II X4.The memory controller supports RAM modules operating frequencies up to 1866 MHz, but this rate is only available for the installation of one module per channel.If you put two modules per channel, reducing the speed to 1600 MHz.Selecting Memory DDR3 1866 MHz is very convenient, because the integrated graphics core has its own memory and so must rely on memory allocation system.IGPU memory allocation takes precedence over the CPU, so it is with DDR3 1866 MHz theoretically possible to achieve a throughput of up to 30 GB/s

Buying a model AMD A8-3850 is very convenient especially for owners of older computers that have weaker processors than AMD Series Athlon II X4 or equivalent type from the manufacturer and prefer Intel graphics performance prior to computation.Computer equipped with this processor will be a universal machine for multimedia use, occasional gaming, surfing the Internet and routine office work.It can be recommended for the construction HTPC for home theater.The processor is designed to be used with motherboards with the new Socket FM1, backward compatibility with older socket is not possible.The receive processor cooler.
