Configurazione di prova e benchmark

Abbiamo provato in anteprima alcune APU A10, A8 e A6 Trinity per PC desktop. Arriveranno sul mercato solo tra alcuni mesi. Ecco cosa abbiamo scoperto finora.

ASRock ci ha inviato la FM2A75 Pro4. Come suggerisce il nome, la FM2A75 adotta l'FCH A75, che probabilmente sarà usato anche da altri produttori per contenere il prezzo. In laboratorio abbiamo anche una scheda madre di un'altra azienda basata su chipset A85, ma il BIOS non è affatto definitivo.

Dovete perdonarci per l'assenza di dati comparabili. AMD non ci ha mai inviato un A8 3870K e la piattaforma della concorrenza in nostro possesso che più si avvicinava alle soluzioni in test era un Core i3-2105. Quindi abbiamo ordinato un A8-3870K e un Core i3-2100, per uno scontro bilanciato, ma purtroppo non sono arrivati in tempo per questo articolo.
