Inexpensive CPU. Easy to install. Thanks AMD.
Plays games and nice for the price. 4 Cores are nice for gaming.
This is a very stable CPU. Great socket.
It's about as good as you can get within the FM2 form factor.
No problems with installation on a socket FM2.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"

AMD A8-5600K CPU Processor

It runs great, room for upgrading, and all at a reasonable price.
Nice upgrade over the A4 I had, for not a lot of money, everything happens a bit quicker.
Overclocks pretty good - used the AMD Overdrive Autoclock utility, it was stable at 3.9 Ghz.
It's a great choice for working with Photoshop CS6, not the last one, but it does what I need.
It is not adequate for high-level gaming.

AMD A10-5800K CPU Processor

Great. This processor from AMD, combines their CPU + Graphics technology all into one chip.
While it doesn't have the raw processing power of Intel chips, for the average home user, this chip does just fine.
Never goes about ~85C with full throttle for extended rendering.
Great stock clock speed with integrated graphics that are far more superior over Intel's HD graphics.
The stock AMD cooler is very small, and with the small fan it has, it has to run at higher RPMs.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

AMD A8-5600K CPU Processor

For light gaming I'm so impressed with what these integrated graphics can do.
I really like is the power consumption. Works great with 32GB memory.
The AMD A8-5600K is perfect when you need high speed for a great price.
Works great with DDR3 memory. Excellent memory speed with this processor.
The chip does do some mild overclocking. I gave the gpu a +40 MHz boost to round it to a cool 800 MHz.

AMD A10-5800K CPU Processor

That's good. I would recommend pairing it with 8GB or more of 1866MHz RAM.
Using any memory that is below 1866 MHz is just holding back this APU's potential.
Decent amount of L2 cache. Works great.
It is a cheap processor with decent enough graphics capability, good cache and memory.
Excellent memory compatibility. Highly recommend.
