  • I just found out about this technology...

    So pumped for the next generation! It should come out right when I'm building my new PC too.

  • APU Sucks....The X6 series was better

  • wow u have tons of stuff there! got anything u dont need? ;)

  • well the 3870K is 1 buck more so why even doubt L0L

  • can it handle minecraft on ultra?

  • I have an urge to build an APU system, but I have no need for it.

  • @TidusDX you didnt have to comment either

  • @savagemessiah82 Neither did you.

  • But yeah, wait for the trinity series, the A10 and A8 that comes out in Q2 of 2012, the performance is somewhat better and enables higher crossfire compatibility with higher numbered GPU... Like the x700s or above?

  • The A8-3850 was able to run it on laptop resolution and low to medium-low quality I think.

    If you can crossfire it, it will enable med-high on the same resolution, or a medium-low on a higher resolution.

  • Someone test it with battlefield 3, only the 3850 was tested with it.

  • @dra6o0n for battlefield the proccessor is gonna maybe run it on very low settings however the magin (as he failed to mention) is this thing can work as a dual graphics proccessor , by crossfireing a 6670 with it installed , there should be speeds reminisant of a 6790 or maybe even a 6850, but if you overclock the chips and gpu you could infact get med-high settings on demanding games like battlefield , but without the heat and noise associate with the higher end gpus's and honestly the more you

  • @dra6o0n overclock the better , id reccomend water cooling so you can rerally push those frequencys, it running at 4 ghz would be incredible crossfired with a overclocked 6670 '!

  • I wonder if it's worth upgraded my A8-3850 to this A83870k. Hmm?

  • @annythepip If you can overclock your 3850 to a decent degree then I'd just stick with the one you have. You won't get that many more frames per second so just be happy with what you have... unless you seriously want to OC then sure go ahead.

  • I cant find it at the amd web, wow a pre lunch review =o xD

  • @isolan9 amds website has problems. theyve been up on newegg for sale though

  • so can i put this in my computer without any graphics card installed?

  • what does the A stand for?

    A...... processing unit.

  • @igrowweedfromaseed Accelerated Processing Unit

  • I'm not really sure about this APU, to be very honest. A G620+HD6670 would be very similar in cost, however performance would be a lot better, with both the CPU and GPU.

    Great idea, considering the CPU performance is similar to the FX4100. However, price/performance is really worth considering here.

  • Still running all games today maxed with my e8400 3.0ghz cpu, and 4 gigs of pc2-5300 ram, just upgrading to a better gpu every 2 years and still running strong, so luckly no need yet to upgrade anything else, as the gpu price is plenty enough to keep up with, lol!

  • I love intel, but fuck this is awesome.

  • 動画投稿ありがとうございます!!

  • I don't know, AMD always seemed slow to me?

  • remember amd is shit, Ie a big pile of shit )))

  • @1koss2 i smell a blinded intel fanboy

  • overclock it can compare it to a i5 2300 and a 6770 or a 6870

  • Chromy..... What do you mean by a good motherboard at a good price? It would help if we knew what you wanted to do with your system. You may not need a 990 chipset as offered in the Gigabyte but it is hard to make a suggestion for your system unless we know your intentions.

  • Can Someone tell me a good motherboard for a good price with am3+ socket

  • @chromyalmost14 u can look for the GIGABYTE am3+ 990FX UD7, i was about to buy that one is pretty stable and very good motherboard, but i went with x79 chipset from intel is so much better.

    that motherboard from gigabyte is great.

    the price in amazon is 286 dollars

  • It really is a tragedy that AMD processors are so below Intel processors. Competition is the heart of capitalism, and of technology. Step it up AMD.

  • @Roflcopter4b And AMD processors are about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of a similar Intel CPU... I say, keep it up AMD

  • @LemUUU I don't think you know what competition means.

  • @Roflcopter4b I don't think you know what competition means in a business sense. Business competition is sales driven, not performance driven...

  • @LemUUU Perhaps, but competition in a technological sense usually involves companies pushing each other to excel. AMD is doing no such thing.

  • @Roflcopter4b I see it more as AMD picking up the lower end. Leaving Intel free to push the limits. Hey we all see things differently.

  • @LemUUU Considering an i3 2100 matches the gaming performance of most any Phenom II and FX processor, you're wrong.

  • @jubjub1114 I used to be an Intel fanboy too...

  • @LemUUU Arrow in the knee references are so dated and overused kiddo.

  • @jubjub1114 haha that was unintentional

  • What about the new Trinity APUs will it be better to wait a Generation.

  • I think for the money you're paying for the processor its really up to standards. Overclocking? Including dx1 graphics? Quad cores? All in 1 processor and less than $200 (in my country) that's a good bargain.

  • @fritzerz9 Yeah it's $139.99 in the U.S. so it's an exceptional value. Also if you search AMD Radeon HD 6550D Battlefield 3 you can see a user just using the on-board graphics on high, a little laggy. So I can imagine just turning the resolution down to 720p and keep it at high and still maintaining playable FPS (30 FPS for higher). For that amount of power PLUS you get 4 cores and lots of overclocking room, best value no doubt.

  • @fritzerz9 stfu, theres better for cheaper

  • Linus, I just setup a new machine for my father using this APU, I got 16gb Patriot Gamer Black Edition ram, Antec Neo Eco 450 psu and a 6670 stand alone coming, I loaded Win7Pro up without the dedicated graphics card the other day and this machine smokes for the money. I was inspired by my laptop which has the A8 3500, it has a stand alone graphic also and it smokes to cost me $700 and I can play current release games on it, I recommend this to anyone on a budget or just starting out with gaming

  • For 2012 i am dumping intel for and cpu. :)

  • I love the idea of APU overclocking, it's great they are pushing it further. Hopefully this will be further developed, especially with mobile technologies kicking in.

    As for Intel/AMD fanboys, please shut up. Both make great products, Intel's intergrated GPU's are terrible, though they do offer great CPU's such as the 2500k. Both companies make good and bad products.

    Though AMD, include a better CPU cooler! You include an overclockable chip, and that tiny fan?

  • @christoiMc Well that's because most gamers uses 3rd party coolers. I don't think anyone would want to overclock their processor on that small cooler. But really you speak for the truth about the fanboys.

  • @fritzerz9 Good point. It's just a bit worrying for me, to see such a small cooler on a modern CPU. Makes me wonder how the temps are on stock clocks. :P

    Though yes, I would never recommend a stock cooler for anyone overclocking.

  • all you intel loyalist would you just shut the f**k up, we know intel cpus have better performance but wait, if lets say u are building a gaming rig, wont you rather just get an amd fx 6100 or amd phenom ii x4 980 or x6 1060t and overclock it which is more than enough for what most people do with their computers(gaming as well) and then get a much better gpu like the nvidia geforce gtx 560 ti instead of going with the 550 ti and the intel2500k which will get you less fps overall in games

  • Why should I care if (AMD + APU) smokes the Intel 2500K with onboard vga as who the f*ck would mind playing a real game such as BF3 with onboard or even an apu?!

  • Garincharles60 I agree amd is better :)

  • I'm still calling it a CPU. It's still technically a "CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT".

  • @misternumberuno Thank you sir. Besides having better intergrated graphics, what makes it different from any other CPU with an iGP?

  • @misternumberuno its more central that way actually

  • sigh AMD or Intel, hmmm CPU speed maybe Intel wins, Gaming i'd definitely go AMD anyday :D u guys may not agree but...

  • @garincharles60 If you want to game on an inferior CPU go ahead. Sandy Bridge beats any AMD cpu in every gaming benchmark for the same price. You can pay 250 bucks for a bulldozer or pay 220 for an i5 and it whoops it's ass any day of the week. It's got nothing to do with being a fanboy, but everything to do with getting your money's worth. I honestly don't get why people wouldn't want to get the performance for the money they are spending.

  • @NeoOsiris19 if you care about getting your money's worth, you wouldn't spend > $200 on a CPU.

  • @LeakyWicks That is true, which is why I got my i5 for 179.99 at microcenter :)

  • @NeoOsiris19 That's a sweet deal. At that price its a no brainer.

  • @LeakyWicks which is why i got my 2500k for 179.99 at microcenter :)

  • now do a overclock tutorial. pleas?

  • To all Intel and AMD fanboys out there, nobody wants one manufacturer to be (much) better than the other one because competition between Intel and AMD thrives innovation. I have a 2500k myself but I hope AMD is going to make a comeback because it will force Intel to make better CPU's which forces AMD to make an even better one and so on which results in us the consumers having better CPU's for lower prices

  • @SWSimplicity You know that AMD arent making anymore Cpu's, and Intels Ivy Bridge is coming out april :)

  • @SnipingforNoObS1 Amd never said that, what they said is it wont be intel AMD competition anymore, in fact they are shiping in near future some improoved bulldozer processors for desktops

  • @savagemessiah82 But that is contradictive, Intel will win and always win.

  • @SnipingforNoObS1 Intel wins mostly in high end processors (back in the days Atlhon 64 was faster than any intel chip) but AMD has a great relation about cost/benefit, it means you can buy a good amd processor without braking the bank. Bulldozer was a big failure but with thi APUs i dont see why Amd has to abandon the x86 market. They have been very succesfull in mobile stuff.

    Sorry for my bad English

  • How can anyone even argue that AMD is better at this point? Intel have awesome CPU's at all budgets right now. When Ivy Bridge comes out they will be so far ahead of AMD it's not even funny. Btw I'm an AMD fanboy but will be purchasing my first Intel CPU when Ivy launches in April.

  • @TheHornyHomunculus why would anyone want a next generation chip with even more processor power but still can't catch up to the A8 in graphics performance? how often do you saturate your cpu cores?

  • @TheHornyHomunculus lol doesnt fangirl usually mean you buy the same product no matter what? me i just buy whatever is cheapest and performs the best within my price range ^_^

  • @WhiteGravey So you have to keep switching motherboards everytime you buy a different brand CPU? :P

  • @WhiteGravey Which is always AMD.

  • @WhiteGravey you can not teach english people mathmatics in chinese...in other words, there are different people...there are those that say "i go for the cheapest and performs the best within my price range" and there are those that say "i set my budget, and i get the best for this budget" .. the ones that get the best for their budget always end up with Intel.. 10 years ago probably not, but today, Intel has filled every corner of the CPU industry..

  • @WhiteGravey this means that whatever your budget is, you can get the better cpu.

    he says this cpu will smoke intel's hd200 and hd3000

    it is not true my friend.i tell you an intel pentium g620 paired with a gtx 560 ti will play smoother and have better visuals and all around fps than this a8-3870k

    so to go back at the beginning of my story,it is hard to teach people something that they do not have interest in being thaught to

    whenever you purchase hardware..set a budget and grab the best

  • @SrFulanoTal Not shit... ofc a dedicated GPU will rape the A8... but does a normal CPU play games at playable fps and power 1080p video at a decent speed? No.

  • @SrFulanoTal One of these APUs is half the cost of the 560ti and G620, obviously the G620/560ti will be better performing, but this does destroy the HD3000

  • @WhiteGravey and AMD now is absolutely not the best...they have let us down! I was a great fanatic of AMD before, but now... I could careless about AMD with their fiascos...

  • intel fanboys are ***** cause amd is better than intel...

  • @WolfHunterPT for gaming intel is better for standard use amd is good. stop being sided and just like both because they are the same thing but with a logo

  • @Willis53y for people that have a lot of money yes, but mortal people that don't have money amd is better

  • why arent they trying to let the gpu handle the processing? a gpu can figure out a calculation in a few seconds that would take a cpu an half an hour.

  • LOL stealing the K

    AMD fanboys are retarded

    intel is king

    have fun with faildozer

  • @FedoraFTW intel stole the letter K from the greeks..

    therefore, your argument is invalid

    Intel Fanboys are MORE retarted than AMD fanboys

    have fun with sandy bitch..

  • @mhmcripz12 my sandybitch chip out performs your faildozer. AMD did steal the K from intel line. it's just like if samsung or some company started calling there products icomputer or something.

    AMD fanboys are just jelly AMD has been getting there shit stomped for YEARS.

  • @FedoraFTW Exactly man, after Athlon XP days, AMD has been getting their asses handed to them to this date.

  • @FedoraFTW for fuck sake, i'm using Intel CPUs and i'm just disappointed with fellow fans that judge AMD based on their structure and prices...

    and also, i'm not either AMD or Intel fanboy, just saying things back that what shouldn't have said

    and also, how about people say shit about intel, what do you feel? shit right?

    so, think about what you say before you bitch about AMD, and also, try "faildozer" you'll see what it can do..

  • @mhmcripz12 i am not a fanboy boy either but you have to admit intel is better. AMD fanboys cant say shit about intel since we already know intel is king and has been king for many years

  • @FedoraFTW I know Intel is better, but we can't predict the future, maybe AMD is hiding something? i dunno, let's end the hate stuff, isuper agree Intel is better than AMD in performance, but the price:performace ratio? for me, i think AMD wins..

    again, let's end the hate stuff before it gets bigger :)

  • @mhmcripz12 Not to mention is is just a letter -_-. So disappointed in humanity.

  • @WolffeGaming yeah, me too, it's just that, they're bitchin' about each other everyday (intel and AMD fanboys)

    i know, it is not funny, i was too sarcastic for you maybe?

  • @mhmcripz12 Retarded is not spelled "retarted," retard.

  • @iWantWafflez i'm not a retard, but i appreciate your opinion about me,

    i'm not perfect.. you think i'm a bot? well, no. i'm not Einstein or a teacher or whatever to judge my spelling, i'm just a normal guy,from a normal neighborhood, who makes mistakes.

  • @mhmcripz12 I don't think it has to do with being a fan boy but more with the fact that Intel has been smoking the competition ever since the Athlon days. However AMD makes great stuff if you're on a budget.

  • @XSoulracc you're right, AMD also have high quality CPUs, like Intel

    i think they're bitchin' about AMD cuz of the absolute low prices of their CPUs

    makin reasons why youy shouln't buy AMD and stuff

  • i just noticed all linus's ear bling...

  • @cal920c Intel i3-2100

  • this thing is like 10% faster than a Q6600... WASTE OF MONEY

  • @Chillwaving Yup,Intel are the Best :)

  • @Chillwaving it also has a gfx card built into it...its an apu....

  • more unboxing videos

  • why do you always get the items after starting filming? why not just grab the products first and then start filming?

  • VVVVVVVVV oh sorry on dirt 3

  • eyy i get 120 avg fps on my fx6100 oc to 4.0ghz with a 6950 2gb on max settings dont tell me i cant game on my pc becuase instead of buying a i7 2600k for a 100 extra i got a better graphics card than i wouldve got..amd might not be the best but intel is overpriced

  • @solarlightning The FX 6100 is about equivalent to an i5 2400, the 2600k would destroy the 6100 lol. I can get an i5 2400 for $150.

  • @jubjub1114 we can go over this a million times...no its not equivilent to 2400...the six cores kill the 2400 and the 2500 maybe not in gaming but multitasking performance..now i got a fx6100 for 100 so why not if a 2400 cost 50 more and according to you there equivilent and i can over clock my fx6100 blowing out the 2500k in benchmarks..now i dont take sides intel is obviously better for gaming but its over priced.im happy with my amd in performance and your happy with your intel for performace

  • @solarlightning Exactly where did you get a 6100 for $100? Unless it's a reputable dealer/retailer, that price information is invalid. For $200 up Intel blows the competition out of the water. Most people build high end computers for gaming, so of course the 2500k is a logical choice, it's simply the most value oriented gaming processor out there. If you need more multitasking performance, then sure, go for AMD, they offer cheaper high multitask solutions.

  • @jubjub1114 tiger direct buddy they had a rebate..as i said im not denying intels not better..but 120fps on dirt 3 isnt bad on max settings huh? and yea i do need multi tasking power..see why all this harsh tone wasnt all necesarry? and the the 6100 is150 so im sayiing price vs priiice 2400 vs 6100 the 6100 kills the 2400 in multi tasking and a little but in gaming iff not oced if oced alot in gaming so why not just go for the amd?

  • @solarlightning Wow you are so obviously an AMD fanboy lol. I'm not going to overclock my cpu and damage it's lifespan. Even if the 6100 is OC'd, the 2400 would still match it. Intel vs AMD comes down to your specific needs, I want to game, so I don't go for the 6 core Faildozer, partially because by the time games start using 6 cores, it's going to be a very slow processor. Simple, $140-, go for AMD, their Phenom II processors are very reliable, and better than Faildozer.

  • @jubjub1114 alright and you never answered my question is 120 fps 1080p dirt 3 max setting bad good or exelent let me tell you that is exelent performance

  • @solarlightning For dirt 3? It's not that impressive. I can use an i3 2100 and still get that result on crap 3 with a decent enough video card.

  • @jubjub1114 really..are you really gonna talk bullshit now? check this vid 2600k gtx 590 and his HIGHEST fps on dirt 3 was 125 and my AVG fps is 120..you talk alot of shit for somone who doesnt know wtf there talking about watch?v=BRxtelxCCUA

    your dad probably bought you an i7 and told you its the best(no doubt it is)..but not alll of us are rich enough oh and btw an 2400 is 180 and a 6100 is 150 hmmm same performance(according to you)6 core vs 4 and 30 less. which one should i get?

  • @solarlightning So you have a GTX 590 huh? How else are you averaging 120 fps?

  • @jubjub1114 wait just a sec you dumbfuck i have a 6950 unlcoked to 6970 and oced..but you can get the same resault with a 2100 with a decent enough graphics card right CRAP 3? REMEBER IT DOESNT NEED A GOOD CPU OR GPU TO RUN AT THAT FRAMERATe..IM PROVING YOUR DUMBASS WRONG AND THEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON ME?your a real dipshit..what are you intel youtube warrior??? watch this fucken vid,tell me my fx6100 doesnt do better ill add another exra 20fps since he was using fraps watch?v=0yPJuCfizBg

  • @solarlightning Dude, a GTX 590 is equivalent to a Radeon HD 6990, which is TWO 6970's. There's no way an overclocked 6970 will give the same performance as 2 6970's. Get a life, stop trolling my stupid spanish project video. I thought we were talking about pc components, not our personal lives. If you respond to this comment, then you truly have no life. Goodbye loser.

  • @jubjub1114 what happend to being little miss attitude dont call me dude i tried being chill at first and then you went ahead and started talking shit and giving attitude which pissed me off..now if you want prove i will send it to you or you can search other youtube vids..and yes i had to see iof you were a fucken kid that thinks they know everything and you obviously are your a %100 virgin fag..next time dont talk so much bullshit cuz its gonna end up being the same story... you get butt hurt

  • lol notice he doesnt compare it to a i5 2500k

  • @robthatguyx Its not a competitor of the i5 2500k.  It's a low budget combo cpu / gpu.

  • Stealing the 3xxx from Intel and the 'K' series. Not a surprise because AMD was born from Intel and made a living off of ripping them off.

  • @0:20 just look at that ass.

  • How long is the warranty on the sticker?

  • Wait, doesn't Intel CPU's (most of them) have integrated graphics as well, then why isn't that called "APU", whats so special about the AMD one?

  • @HyyRisque The 6550D graphics on the APU's give almost double the performance compared to the HD 3000 integrated graphics.

  • @HyyRisque Because they say its "dedicated" graphics it out performs intels hd 3000 (there top onboard) by 3-4X. But your right its the same thing but with uber awesome built in graphics

  • @4g63fourlife thanks. i saw his other video on APU's and worked it out. how's your evo engines going? lol 4g63!

  • @HyyRisque lmao. Blew up at 24 psi, eclipse btw same engine code tho.

  • Yeah. Black Edition >>>>>>>>>> K. AMD what have you done?

  • What do you do with all of those parts laying around your office and home office?

  • would it make sense to pair this up with a graphics card, say like a AMD6770?

  • @stalin666666 Nope, After a certain level of discrete (graphics cards) chips, the apu's graphics chip turns off and lets the graphics card do the rest. So no, it wouldn't make sense.

  • I don't care how many times I see it. I always love that intro.

  • @tzankich Short sweet and to the point, how an intro should be... not even got any stupid wubstep music going on which is always a plus!

    I must admit, Linus is about the only person that does tech I can stand... the rest just ... don't cut it. They have something about them that strikes me as irritating.

  • NCIX come to Seattle!!!

  • @lRevolutionl Damn, a graphics joke in an apu video. Kudos to you sir.

  • what graphics card can you use to not disable the integrated gpu?

  • @alfyan99 You can use an HD 6670 in dual graphics mode with the integrated 6550D. Anything higher than a 6670 won't work in dual graphics.

  • To those ignorant out there. This is not intergrated graphics! There is an actual GPU inside the processor.

  • yea! comments are powerful!!!

  • Linus, Tell me what would u do with the stuff you get there Becoz my PC SuCk & i m on intel Dual core WTF..

  • @sunny21892 I believe he reboxes the majority of the things he unboxes and sells them. Just an assumption though, I know several of the items he has cannot be sold as new, though things like PC Cases and fans are resellable.

    Though that's all just an assumption

  • @UchihaSilvan you've seen "open box" items on the NCIX site before, rite?

  • miss your cat

  • is that mean i dont have to buy a GPU ??

  • If you're a casual gamer (not going to play anything graphically intensive (like BF3 or whatever) then I guess not. But I'd say definitely buy a dedicated graphics card even if you went with an APU regardless since the HD6550D is incredibly weak for gaming.

    I'd consider APUs to be for businesses who want cheap machines but good performance...but I'm just a guy with an opinion.

  • @LordReserei01 Actually, the A8 APU's alone give very playable framerates (In the 30's-50's) in most games on low settings, so I'd consider it a PC version of a console. It's 2 times better than the HD 3000 Intel graphics.

  • @LordReserei01 "since the HD6550D is incredibly weak for gaming"

    no so

    watch?v=8XXzfWcvTyo

  • I stand corrected.

  • Pause at 2:31, looks like a mugshot. :D

  • @marcelobos 1156 vid is right around the corner :)

  • Wow hardware APUs are going to make the things so much simpler and faster at the same time. It reminds me of the weird mix pairing of the Cell but at a much more powerful level.

  • Hey people looking for comments, copy the commenter's name, click "see all" to see all comments, then ctrl+f, and ctrl+v, You're welcome

  • Erm...... Just a reminder.. Water Cooling Part 3. Thx.

  • integrated grapx is a waste of time for 90% of people who watch these kinda of videos

  • 1155 th video is of an AMD processor. Nice one Linus.

  • you should get a box cutter.....

  • Why are they still fucking about with integrated graphics? Seems like ultra budget systems and office workstations would make use of them?

  • A8-3870K... sounds familiar, oh right i7-3960X

  • Steeling the K from intel now... that's cool.

  • @Emb3dStudios AMD had Black Edition. If you follow the CMYK colour model (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) then no, AMD didn't steal "K".

  • @lRevolutionl Why is k black? Just wondering and it is not like it really matters after all it is just marketing no matter what they call it whether they took it from some where else or not.

  • @Emb3dStudios

    C=Cyan

    M=Magenta

    Y=Yellow

    K=Black

    Pretty sure it's because people would assume B=Blue

  • @GunSkillet K = contrast

  • @cal920c

    What?
