These are low-budget CPU, there's no use in trying to put it any other way.

but only the A10-5800K model was provided as a sample to Phoronix by Advanced Micro Devices.
All of this initial AMD A10 Trinity testing was being done on an MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 motherboard that was provided by AMD.
Two quotes I saw while skimping. What I would have rather seen or maybe ismply missed was 'Thank you AMD'.

That's not Trinity APU on Linux, that's 7660D on Linux.
Exactly the pitfall AMD tried to lure some reviewers in when they allowed ahead of time sneak peeks.
I'm still convinced that people that don't need to play games get enough GPU from intel and get a (much) more powerful to go along with that. Meanwhile, for serious gaming a dedicated GPU is still needed.

I'm waiting for the performance of these APUs to pass my current setup, and then I'm switching over. Mostly for size and noise issues, and since I love small form factor cases.
The CPU speed is largely irrelevant to me, and to a lot of people I think these days. IMO, for home desktops we've been at a "good enough" level for years now. A few cores and a few gigahertz will do it.
