AMD A8-3870K Llano APU Linux Overclocking

The x264 results were not too great for the newest member of the Llano family.

AMD processors tend to do very well with OpenSSL and the A8-3870K is no different. The A8-3870K Llano at stock speeds was delivering more RSA 4096-bit signs per second than the Core i7-870, i7-920, and i7-970 processors. When the Llano was overclocked to 3.5GHz the APU was even faster than the six-core Core i7 990X Gulftown that also boasts Hyper Threading. However, all of the newer Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs remained faster than Llano for OpenSSL.
