Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 & AMD A10 5800K Review (w/ discrete)

To measure power consumption we take a reading from the socket with a calibrated power meter. The power readings are taken when loaded in Cinebench R11.5 64 bit, with the graphics card inactive. All peripherals, including the monitor, do not factor into this reading.

When loaded with Cinebench R11.5 64 bit – the system only takes 133 watts at the socket, which is very good.

  1. The prices of these A85X motherboards are stupid. I wouldnt pay this for a board for a £95 chip

  2. Nice one AMD, im impressed with this chip. might think about getting one later this year, but I agree on motherboard price. it makes the whole deal seem less palatable.

  4. Does kind of make me wonder when using a discrete graphics, that unless the on-board graphics hybrid crossfires with it, what’s the point of having have half the die of the chip made up of graphics. Being a gamer i wouldn’t be using the on-board, I know that it is a nice balance, but id love to see an AMD Piledriver sans graphics (Binary ?) with the full die for the CPU. Selfish maybe… 😉
