AMD A10 5800k vs AMD A8 6600k

[raven007]

since my new motherboard and my cpu dont match i pland on buying either 1 of these, a10 or a8. both amd .. their price are exactly da same, i also heard that da A8 has a later release in date.please help.. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED..

id go with the a10 5800k since it has 384 shaders instead of the 256 of the a8 and just 100mhz lower cpu baseclock. there arent any ipc improvements in richland vs trinity so in games it should perform better

The biggest difference between Trinity (A10-5800k) and Richland (A8-6600k) in general is that Richland officially support DDR3 2133MHz RAM whereas Trinity officially supports either DDR3 1600MHz or 1833MHz (I can't remember). Most A10-5800k & motherboards should work with DDR3 2133MHz, but I have read that there are some cases where it will not work. I guess it depends on the specific motherboard model and the specific DDR3 2133MHz RAM make and model.

On average games played on a Trinity A10-5800k with DDR3 2133MHz RAM (Radeon HD 7670D) is slightly slower compared to a Richland A10-6800k with DDR3 2133MHz RAM (Radoen HD 8670D). Therefore, for the flagship models of Trinity and Richland there really has not been much performance increase at all. With both APUs using the same RAM, Richland only provides maybe 2% - 3% better performance.

To directly answer your question, the A10-5800k will give you better performance than the A8-6600k as long as you use DDR3 2133MHz RAM.
