UEFI Screen CPU Clock Ratio adjusts from 38 to 45. It means OC 5800K to 4.5GHz. DDR3 enables Extreme Memory Profile to run at 2133. DRAM Advanced Parameters, manually setup as CL10 11-9-32 Voltage Page CPU Vcore 0.80000~2.30000V DRAM Voltage 1.100~2.620V CPU set as 1.46250V and DRAM set as 1.600V PC Health Status As OC setup above, the CPU temperature is over 41 degree C. It’s more accurate in UEFI temperature info. As CPU temperature, I will have further test later. Test Configuration CPU: AMD A10-5800K MB: GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 DRAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT DDR3 1866 8GX2 VGA: AMD Radeon HD 7660D HDD: CORSAIR Force GS 240GB POWER: XIGMATEK Tauro 400W Bronze Cooler: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 OS: Windows8 64bit Performance Test CPU 99.82 X 45 => 4491.76MHz DDR3 2129.4 CL10 11-9-32 Hyper PI 32M X 4 => 24m 19.084s CPUMARK 99 => 525 Nuclearus Multi Core => 13711 Fritz Chess Benchmark => 15.77/7568 CrystalMark 2004R3 => 223483 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU => 3.64 pts CPU(Single Core) => 1.15 pts |
FRYRENDER Running Time => 10m 39s x264 FHD Benchmark => 13 PCMARK7 => 3644 Windows8 Experience Index - CPU 7.4 FM2 5800K clock after OC is much higher than FM1 3850. As 5800K using dual module quad core structure, the clock and OC ability are improved a lot. If we just look at performance in CINEBENCH, the CPU single and multiple threads numbers are as below. FM2 5800K OC 4492MHz and i3-3220 default 3293MHz. i3-3220 Single Core CPU is 26.2% higher, and 5800K multi-CPU is 14.5% higher. FM2 5800K OC 4492MHz and FM1 3850 OC 3540MHz 3850 Single Core CPU is 14.8% higher and 5800K multi-CPU is 7.4% more. As multi-tasking Fritz Chess Benchmark, these 3 CPUs performance is similar. It’s up to your requirement to decide which one is more suitable for you. 2134.8 CL10 11-9-32 ADIA64 Memory Read - 12368 MB/s Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 15474 MB/s MaXXMEM Memory-Copy - 11136 MB/s FM2 default clock can pull to 2133 which is higher than FM1 1866. In ADIA64 Memory Read, the bandwidth increases 20%. However, in Sandra and MaXXMEM, it’s lower than FM1. As new structure characteristic and bandwidth performance, you can decide by high clock or bandwidth. 3D Performance Test Built-in AMD Radeon HD 7660D 3DMark Vantage => P6155 StreetFighter IV Benchmark 1920 X 1080 => 71.70 FPS FINAL FANTASY XIV 1920 X 1080 => 1245 Unigine Heaven Benchmark 1280 X 720 => 34.8 FPS 3DMark Vantage is 20% higher than previous Radeon HD 6550D with 3850. StreetFighter IV Benchmark and FINAL FANTASY XIV performance is similar. However, Unigine Heaven Benchmark test DX11, it’s almost double the 3D performance. 5800K built-in AMD current most high end Radeon HD 7660D, the 3D performance is excellent. This is the advantage of AMD APU platform. It’s designed for pull high built-in 3D performance for entry 3D demand users. SATA3 Test SSD is CORSAIR Force GS 240GB AS SSD Benchmark - 719 Seq Read - 524.01 MB/s Write - 270.50 MB/s 4K - 64Thrd Read - 214.89 MB/s Write - 194.63 MB/s ATTO DISK Benchmark over 512KB test can reach 540.5 Mb/s read and 517.5 MB/s write. SSD Benchmark TOTAL => 4020.13 Trinity APU latest A85X chipset supports 8 native SATA3 ports. For users who own many HDD o SSD, the transfer rate is a key factor. In the past, AMD SATA transfer rate is not as good as Intel. However, it improves step by step. Form the test above, you can see overall read/write performance and 4K - 64Thrd are both in good level. However, for 4K read/write performance is only 50~60% of Intel chipset. It must improve in the future. Also as SSD Raid 0 Trim technology and performance, I hope AMD new chipset can catch up as well. |
Temperature(Room is 22˚C) Enter to OS Desktop - 40 CPU Full Speed - 55 LinX 0.6.4 Disabling AMD C&Q power saving feature do testing. 32nm APU and FX CPU are low temperature in most software. Sometimes, even lower than room temperature, like 8~16. As CPU is not thermoelectric Cooling, it should be higher than room after power on. It’s impossible numbers, so just ignore the AIDA. As EasyTune6, CPU temperature is 55 as full speed which is quite good with mid end cooler. As 32nm, the temperature performance is good. I recommend you to use MB bundle software or UEFI BIOS to check the accurate temperature. Power Consumption Enter to OS Desktop - 44W CPU Full Speed - 165W LinX 0.6.4 CPU and GPU both Full Speed - 183W OCCT Power Supply Test Even disable AMD C&Q power saving technology, it’s only 44W as OC to 4.5GHz. CPU full speed is 165W which still too high. GPU full speed only increase 18W is very good. Power consumption is weakness for AMD. Finally, it moves to 32nm, but the power consumption doesn’t decrease efficiently. GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 Pros 1. Black PCB with good quality. Trinity APU structure makes high end MB parity. 2. Using IR3550 PowlRstage PWM to lower MOSFET tmeperature 3. 7 SATA3 and 1 eSATA3 for better expandability 4. IO has 4 different video output ports and supports 4 USB 3.0 devices 5. Build in debug LED and 3 buttons for bare system users Cons 1. CPU full speed power consumption is too high 2. Better to have 2 PCI slots Performance ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 81/100 Components ★★★★★★★★★☆ 86/100 Specifications ★★★★★★★★★☆ 88/100 Appearance ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 83/100 C/P Value ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 82/100 As the test above, you can see the difference between FM2 Trinity APU and FM1 Llano APU. Trinity APU advantage is CPU clock can pull high and DDR3 clock is one level higher as well. Temperature and power consumption are similar as they are both 32nm. 5800K built-in 3D performance improves a lot, especially in DX11 supported games. Latest Trinity APU still focus in mid to low end market to provide more parity options. New chipset specs are better than A75 and supporting more SATA3. If you own FM1 already, you don’t really need to upgrade to FM2. If you are planning to buy a new entry PC and require 3D performance more than CPU, Trinity APU can be a good choice for you :) This article is also post in my blog - WIND3C, Any comments are welcome. |
