For those thinking about potentially purchasing an AMD A10-6800K APU for use under Linux with the Catalyst driver, hopefully these numbers put things into some perspective. Via the Phoronix Test Suite you can see how your system performs against these numbers by running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1306298-SO-AMDA1068067. More numbers are due out in the coming days including looking at the Radeon HD 8670D graphics with the open-source Radeon Gallium3D driver under a number of scenarios.
