APU A8-5500 Review
AMD A8-5500 is an APU based on the Trinity Core, successor to the Llano core.
It's a 4-Core CPU with integrated graphics called Radeon HD 7560D GPU, clocked at 760 MHz and with 256 Shader Processing Units. The fastest supported memory is DDR3-1866.
Each core is clocked at 3.2GHz and can go up to 3.7GHz using Turbo Boost.
The performance of AMD A8-5500 falls behind most Intel Sandy/Ivy bridge CPUs but it's still enough to run even the most demanding games at the highest settings, if paired with the appropriate GPU.
