Hi all.
I don't know what hapen that I don't know these AMD processors. Can some one tell me is these A6, A8 and A10 processors are newer processor than those Bulldosers? Are they same generation processors or different? if they are diffrent, which is better? I have keep my information about computer these pass two years but haven't notice when these A series come out.
Thank you.
 
The A series labeled llano are basically a slightly improved version of the Athlon II architecture, with a powerful graphics card built into the processor. The fastest APU will kill a intel i series in gaming when it is running the igpus. The a10 and a few modells of the a6 and a8 are based on Trinity, which is running an early revision of the piledriver core (bulldozer's successor) with a HD7000 series igpu built into it.
 
Like said above. They are Athlon II cores at 32nm. with a onboard GPU. Next up is Trinity after llano based on the Piledriver core.
 
...perhaps not kill, but for less money they give you better performance than the intel 3000 series. 4000 series is looking even more promising, but likely amd will also improve the igpu on the chips that piledriver will be rolling out with.
 
it's the lower end desktop processor too. But the a6-a10 are all quad cores, the a10 since it is a piledriver core is actually 2 modules.
