talking about OCing how this looks
AMD's Trinity APU overclocked to 7.3GHz | TG Daily
"Putting a $100 CPU cooler on a $120 processor isn't something many will do, so we focused on air cooling today with factory CPU cooling solutions. "^^ +1 to that and most of the review units are cherrypicked
and coming to the overclokc, stock cooler and temps this is the best article one can read :
AMD A10-5800K Trinity Desktop APU Review - AMD A10-5800K Trinity Overclocking - Legit Reviews
,there are many people who build a rig for about 30-35k with i7 @17-19k and spend only 2-3k for graphics card.so whats the use of that rig when it won't give even 15 FPS at 1080p.so whats the use of spending that much on i7 when you don't use it.in these case 5800k and 6670 which will cost lot lesser than i7 itself and give you near to 60 FPS at 1080p.
but still piledriver's quad core(modules) is actually not equal to a phenom quad core.so i guess it will be better to compare phenom and PD based on their price.
still i am confused bro,because what i got from those links was that 5800k is still a better bet over intel i3 3000 and if i guess it right then there is some problem in drivers because in dirt 3 dual graphics showed an excellent 40% increase in FPS but in others it is going less than the FPS got when there is no crossfire so i guess it may be fixed with future driers.
And if you are talking about solely gaming with a discrete card, in more than 90% games, the CPU hardly matters to your gameplay experience (not talking about fps only). Check the following for discrete GPU performance, here's a true gamer card, HD7870 and apart from Codemasters' games, the CPU hardly matters at 1080p and highest settings:-

And those Anandtech results are funny to say the least, so with a discrete graphics card we are going to play at 1024x768, really?
But the same is true for Intel CPUs as well, what am I doing with the graphics core of my 2600k? Nothing! I would have loved couple of more cores instead of that or just the CPU at a lesser price.

@skud,
lol yeah why anadtech is using 1024X768 for game testing?
@topgear,
there are 50% of the gamers who buy descent graphics card but there are other 50% who usually buy a card <6670 and spend on more on processor and they use the system for gaming.so in these 50% cases i guess 5800k will prove worthier than the other similarly priced processor with its ability to hybrid with discrete one.yeah there is some driver problem i guess because in dirt showdown the dual graphics show very good improvement over single at 1080p but it gets less FPS than single card setup in batman arkham city so there must be some problem in arkham city or in driver.
btw one thing i observed was that the performance of 5800k's internal gpu improves when we shift from DX9 to DX11. have you observed this?
