[Thor.]

Here is a new look at the combined vram and cpu combination?? What do you think of this new concept of mixing gpu and cpu with the same memory type???

My machine I was given flat Flies ! our performs all Previous models I have used.

The A10 is My next upgrade , already ordered. The choice was Either this or a tesla abridged setup, this was way cheaper and easier on my pocket book.

686mhz?? ddr3, i think that would be a bottleneck lol, the other stuff is okay. It doesn't matter how much you have, latency would be a problem :teehee:

Also this is for next gen hardware, not for current pc stuff... Like combining ddr5 with cpu and gpu.

If the previous gen APU's were anything to go off, it'll be overpriced and terrible.

 

However, due to the cool concept, I'm willing to hold my word until I get a chance to try these out.

Not surprising, it's the next logical step now that cpus are getting less important on their own.

Honestly the A10 5800k is a great APU for a budget rig, and you can play a lot of the newer games on high settings with it. My brother built a $450 PC using that APU and I was shocked at how good it was for the price. And its overclockable, just buy a $25 after market CPU cooler, because it does run a little bit hot.

I plan on combining My A10 with a tesla card, lot's of penny's to save up. But , I have a medical program that needs a powerful card so I will be getting that.
