AMD's new chip doesn't outperform its Intel equivalent on many standard programs
Good CPU performance, Great GPU performance for integrated graphics, Low power consumption, SATA III and USB 3.0 natively supported, Quad-cores, Price efficiency
Performance lags behind the Intel Core i3 in light threaded tasks
Whew, that’s a lot of data and words. Let’s sum it up. Llano is not designed to move forward in the CPU performance, but rather designed move forward in the IGP performance. It offers performance comparable to AMD’s current CPU and competitive to Inte...
There are still a number of unanswered questions about Llano on the desktop. In the coming weeks we'll be looking at HTPC performance, power consumption, and hopefully we'll be able to figure out what the deal is with overclocking AMD's new mainstream APU...
Many modern games playable with on-chip graphics at low settings, CPU speed comparable to similarly priced Intel Core i3
Premium RAM required for best graphics performance, Lacks Turbo Core tech
AMD’s A8-3850 chip brings better-than-ever gaming muscle to on-chip graphics. Just make sure you opt for speedy RAM if gaming frame rates are a top priority. ...
We can’t help but be positive about the AMD A8-3850, as it finally delivers on the promise of integrated graphics that offer a reasonable degree of performance. The APU proved to be capable of playing our test games smoothly at low and medium resolutio...
Impressive absolute performance of integrated graphics
High power consumption in comparison to Intel, A faster CPU is required
A great step forward has been made on the APU side with a much improved graphics part. Unfortunately, there still isn't enough graphics muscle to allow you to dispense with a graphics card for gaming. Pure processor performance is also a good deal down on...

The Lynx platform is impressive, but what we're seeing is par for the course from AMD. What the part lacks in raw computing power, in makes up for with a (relatively) powerful integrated graphics processor. Will it be enough? If you're on a tight budge...
I've had Llano in the lab for nearly two months in various stages of readiness. More than anything, in that time, motherboard BIOSes have evolved to the point where they're production-ready, stable, and feature-complete. From one update to the next, overc...
