Earlier this month AMD unveiled their Richland desktop APUs as an upgraded version of Trinity. While still based upon Piledriver CPU cores, the AMD A10-6800K APU under Linux is a modest upgrade until the arrival of the Jaguar-based APUs. For starting off our Linux testing of the A10-6800K are Ubuntu Linux benchmarks of this high-end Richland APU compared against the A10-5800K Trinity APU.

I'm not even suprised anymore. It's a classical Phoronix benchmark
If it's an nVidia benchmark, there are no ATi Cards, if it's an Intel
integrated graphics, they're not compared to ATi's APU's, and if it's
an AMD CPU you can be damn sure there won't be any Intel processor
thrown in for a good measure.
What's the point of this? If there is any inherent value in benchmarking
it's so that customers can evaluate performance/price/wattage ratios.
Why is it so hard for Phoronix to get this right is beyond me. Pshaw!

You will find Intel CPU benchmarks soon. And You will be able to compare them directly... You just wont find them on same graph. (Untill Michael do some bigger benchmark...)

That said, it's probably not worth the upgrade from the a10-5800k. If you don't already own a 5800k however, the a10-6800k is a damn solid performer.

Yep, it seems that the "performance-per-watt" code is still wrong. Otherwise how could the overclocked chip have such good performance-per-watt values beating the stock chip by such a large difference? It consumes 45% more power than at stock speeds for a small 12% increase in performance. It should have much worse performance-per-watt. How can an article this wrong be published? No wonder no one takes phoronix seriously...

Uhh yeah performance per watt, wth is that anyways. Pure energy consumptions(Wh) in cray:
Code:octave:5> 160.5*33.05/3600 ans = 1.4735 octave:6> 114.4*39.92/3600 ans = 1.2686 octave:7> 112*36.89/3600 ans = 1.1477

Most of the benchmark software seems to be about as useful as that crap SuperPI. The gaming benchmarks are a total joke, since he can't even be bothered to even use something like the HL2:Lost Coast benchmark, which at least was for many years a decent GPU test on Windows. That the latest Unigine benchmark runs at 6FPS no matter the GPU doesn't say much, you need something closer to real world expectations.

AMD is hosting its Fusion Developer Summit this week, and the overarching theme is heterogeneous computing and the convergence of the CPU and GPU. Is shared memory and true heterogeneous computing the future of computers?

AMD has confirmed that the company would launch its 28nm Kaveri APU featuring steamroller cores and improved HSA technologies in the second half of 2013.
The possibility of GDDR5 DIMMs to pair with the Kaveri? Hows some info from some reputable sources?
