Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video. In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file while recording CPU usage using Performance Monitor.
MKV playback demands more of the APUs power than playing a Blu-Ray movie. That said, the Sapphire A75 motherboard in conjunction with the A8-3850 APU managed to handle it without issue.

Bungie's Marathon seems to be garnering some good impressions following the most recent playtests. Last night as part of the State of Play showcase, we got our latest look at the game, which has now been reworked with new assets following an artist dispute last year.

Nice product. Good to see them getting outside gfx. they still make PSU.s right?
I think mini ITX makes more sense tbh. better for media center…….
Can anyone buy these cpus in the UK?
good enough product, but id prefer it if it was mini itx as I think the target audience will be wanting this. Asus mobo is better I think.
I have to say that I agree with the others. An ITX would have been a lot more suitable if, indeed this were being placed in an HTPC application.
