Therefore, it is similar to Ivy Bridge Core i3 CPUs. As a result, the CPU is not a true quad-core processor.ĭepending on the benchmark, the CPU performance of the A10-6800K is slightly faster than the old A10-5800K due to the higher clock rates (same architecture). Although marketed as a quad-core processor, the A10-6800K includes only two modules with four integer-cores and two floating-point units in total. The CPU cores are based on a reworked Bulldozer architecture called Piledriver. Otherwise, only small optimizations regarding power and turbo were made. Compared to the previous Trinity generation A10-5800K, the 6800K offers higher clocked CPU and GPU cores and supports higher clocked main memory. Due to the unlocked multiplier, the CPU can overclock very easily. Furthermore, the 6800K has a Radeon HD 8670D graphics unit and a DDR3-2133 memory controller. The chip is produced in a 32nm process and integrates 2 modules with 4 CPU cores clocked at 4.1 to 4.4 GHz. The AMD A10-6800K is a desktop APU from the Richland series.
