AMD A10-7890K, A10-7860K, and Athlon X4 880K @ LanOC Reviews
I can just smell the FM2+ in the air.
Seems like a good thing right?
About two months ago AMD did a large product line refresh that focused around the newly introduced Wraith Cooler, at the time we took a look at the cooler. Then closer to our LAN event they sent out samples for some of the other CPUs and APUs introduced. In their FM2+ mainstream line they refreshed the Kaveri APUs as well as an Athlon X4 CPU. Well with our LAN event keeping my schedule tied up I’m just now finally getting a chance to see what the new A10-7860K sample and Athlon X4 880K that they sent out a that time. Then on top of that just last week the A10-7890K came in to round things out. So today I’m going to run through AMDs FM2+ refresh and see how they perform. I’m especially interested I the Athlon X4 880K to find out if it’s a worthwhile budget replacement for someone considering an AM3+ build.
I cringe every time someone comes to me asking to look over their build and in the middle is an FM2+ based motherboard. Not only is it slow but, not much cheaper than a low end Intel with more power.
Of course with that being said I'm rather excited to see what new processors AMD has for the 990FX motherboard refresh, whenever that might be.
