Memory Performance on AMD's A-Series APU

Last month Legit Reviews reviewed the AMD A8-3850 'Llano' APU and our article looks like it was well received by our readers with the exception of one thing.  We've had a number of readers write in saying that it was great that we tested this platform with 1866MHz memory, but they are building budget systems and want to use 1333MHz or 1600MHz memory. It is true that we didn't look at performance numbers of AMD's A-Series APUs on the A75 chipset at 1333MHz, 1600MHz and since this platform is very budget friendly we see this as a valid point.

Legit Reviews does not want to ostracize any of our readers and pride ourselves on our no-BS straight forward and honest reviews, so we went back to the drawing board to get you the performance data you need before ordering in a new platform. We'll be using the Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H motherboard for testing again, but since we updated the BIOS to version F3 we re-did all of the performance numbers as we did see improved performance with the new BIOS.

We also got a few questions about how the platform handles 16GB of memory and if there are any stability issues with running all four memory slots fully populated. We've seen performance gains with all the memory slots full on AMD platforms in the past, so we'll be looking at 2x4GB and 4x4GB performance as well in our test results. Not too many people will be running 16GB of memory on the Llano A-Series APU, but we found no issues in doing so with G.Skill Ripjaws

So, to reiterate what our goals are for this article one more time:

• Benchmark 2x4GB memory kits at 1333MHz, 1600MHz, 1866MHz to find performance differences


• Benchmark 2x4GB versus 4x4GB to see if filling all the memory slots impacts performance


• See if we have any issues running 16GB of memory 

This should be easy enough, so let's take a look at the test system and get right to the performance numbers.

AMD A6-3650 and A8-3850 APUs Reviews and features

Both the AMD A6-3650 and A8-3850 are quad-core chips characterize 320 Radeon cores and 400 Radeon cores, correspondingly.closely two weeks after the launch of the first processing unit of an accelerated basis in Llano architecture, AMD has declared the accessibility of prime A-Series desktops APUs, A8 and A6, 3850-3650.

The AMD A8-3850 features 2.9GHz core clock, 600MHz GPU clock, Radeon HD 6550D graphics, 4MB L2 cache, and uphold for DDR3-1886 memory. The chip has a TDP of 100W and is priced at $135.AMD A8 and A6, 3850-3650 desktop processor schedule to be attainable for purchase inward the system builder and at major online retailers, including Amazon, CyberPower, iBuyPower,Newegg and TigerDirect began July 3, 2011.

The AMD A8-3850 has its four x86-64 cores clocked at 2।90 GHz, with the Radeon HD 6550D GPU engine clocked at 600 MHz. This chip has a TDP of 100W, it is priced at US $135. The AMD A6-3650 has its CPU constituent clocked at 2.60 GHz, and Radeon HD 6530D GPU engine clocked at 443 MHz. This chip goes for US $115. With these two, AMD is direct toward higher pattern of Sandy Bridge-based Pentium Dual-Core and Core i3 Sandy Bridge chips.On the other hand the AMD A6-3650 has 2.6GHz processor clock, 443MHz GPU clock, Radeon HD 6530D graphics, 4MB L2 cache, and support for DDR3-1866 memory.
