Encoding performance is not that bad, you have to keep in mind this is a $130 CPU:-

AMD A10-5800K Trinity APU Review > Encoding Performance - TechSpot Reviews

We need full-featured microATX boards without flashy heatsinks, mindless buttons for easy OC etc. within 5k. Currently the mobo prices are more than the A10 5800k itself and that will be a deterrent for lot many users.

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

found two boards in newegg which are inside the budget i have mentioned but don't know about indian prices,
BIOSTAR Hi-Fi A85W FM2 AMD A85X -$95

ASUS F2A85-M/CSM FM2 AMD A85X -$110

@skud,
in your link i found this more interesting,with GTx580 i5 3xxx and 5800k performs almost similar.

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

trinity is for those who wants a good gaming pc which can play games at around 1366X768 or 1600X900 resolutions with smooth playable FPS pc at 20-25k. how is it possible to fit either a i5 which takes half of the budget or fx quad core which takes more than 1/3rd of the budget and above that you still need to add a graphics card.so how the person will build a descent gaming pc with these processors and gfx cards which alone takes most of the budget.about 1 year back we had athlon II and Phenom II but now they are not available so there is no other option.always we can't compare products purely in terms of performance we have to also look at the price and also see if there is any viable option at the same price range.
so lets build a pc for 25k,
HDD 500GB - 4.5k
RAM 4 GB - 1.5k
PSU 400-450W- 3k
cabinet - 1.5k
KB and mouse- 0.7k
mobo - 5 to 6k
UPS 600va - 1.5k
total - around 19k
a 2nd gen core i3 costs 7- 7.5k which shoots the budget by 1k and gaming performance 10 FPS in most games.so no gaming in this rig for sure.
so lets replace i3 with 5880k at 8k which shoots budget by 2k and gaming performance minimum 30 FPS in most of the games so you can game on.when comes to processing power i am damn sure that no one one will use this rig for video encoding or for photoshop etc., and the remaining browsing,office works you won't see any difference and when comes to winrar mostly you will save 20 secs or may be 1 min with i3 thats it.

+ 1 to this. I agree. I am not fond of simple math processors. which any core i3/5/7 are.
That is exactly the thought I have in here.. HTPC with decent ganing.

I'd take this anyday over Core i3. Better package overall.

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

The major problem that may hit Trinity harder is the price of the motherboard. Unless board maker's ramp up their game, it won't be viable. This image from Kitguru is disturbing, and Trinity may suffer a similar fate:-

^ its a simple dynamics of market which makes the price. even the a55 fm1 board when released for llano weren't cheap and that is somehow maybe going to be the case for a85x fm2 boards right now. But check the prices down the line 3-4 months they will reduce. Just for comparison a55 boards are available for 2.5k(yes) also. Also don't forget you still have the option to use the almost equally capable a75 mobos for trinity if you are price conscious.

Anyways let's see indian launches/prices by biostar gigabyte etc..

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

I am talking about the top of the line chipset which should be available in cheaper iterations. 3 slots for graphics for this setup? Someone must be joking hard. We need cheaper mobos right now, as simple as that. Forget about down the line, by that time the CPU will also shed some of its initial price keeping the situation same.

That biostar board is on my radar waiting for it to be available - Also priced good $103(really ?) (for high end board its a steal.)

I found the MSI best, as it offers the full 8 SATA 3 ports instead of offering useless eSATA ports.

Hi All,

The FM2 Trinity motherboards and processors are available in US and UK in leading online stores say eBay, Amazon but don't ship to India. Are they available in India yet? If not, please advice which online websites from other countries offer shipping to India. Thanks in advance.
