A10 5800k crossfire with 7850

[zared619]

Hi everyone. I was wondering with the launch of the trinity series today if anyone knew of some game benchmarks with the 5800k in crossfire with a 7xxx series GPU. It would also be useful to see a comparison between the 5800k and the i3 3220 with a discrete graphics cards.
If no such thing exists, could some one with more influence and time than my self make something happen?

Thanks in advance.

If you are planing on going with a discrete HD 7850 then a i3 is the better option to go with, a A10 is not premissed on being a high end part, its strengths are integrated graphics performance, openCL/MP performance and obviously it has assymetrical crossfire support with a discrete HD7600 GPU, the target market is HTPC, multimedia and any application which integrates CPU/GPU performance. If you want a lower mainstream gaming setup then a I3 with a HD 7850 is a much better option.

^ Do you know of any benchmarks that exist?

The whole point of Trinity is the great integrated graphics. If you plan to get a discrete gpu, then getting a APU is pointless.

You cannot hybrid cf a high end gpu with an apu.
If you are getting a discrete gpu then as geekapproved said getting apu is pointless
