a data XP gv2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms check the link in the video description for more details welcome to my performance overview I guess you could call it a review of sorts of AMD's richland series of AP use now we only got one of them we got the a 1060 800 K and so we kind of went okay so this is gonna be priced at around 145 bucks or so sort of in bulk pricing so let's compare that against the obvious competition which is of course a sea turtle well no but it felt that way a little bit because AMD's richland is really in a class of its own when it comes to a low cost value gaming platform so AMD sort of released this richland series of AP use they're on the same fm2 socket as the older apu so you don't have to really upgrade your hardware you can just get a bios update for your board or whatever else and you can basically drop in a Richland also AMD has told me that we are going to be looking at FM 2 for the next generation of AP use as well so they haven't really changed the platform in fact they haven't really changed the architecture at all so it's mostly just a small speed bump over the last generation 5000 series like the 5800 K APU so why did they do this my guess is it probably has something to do with the release of Haswell so we took the lowest cost has well we could find and took a few mainstream games that you might want to play on a system that doesn't have a dedicated graphics card and we ran them head-to-head now with that in mind we didn't do any compute performance benchmarking because we already know the Intel chip is going to wipe the floor with the AMD one we're talking about a very specific usage case here that is not focused on CPU so if you want better CPU performance go with a has well if you want better GPU performance well stay tuned because in Skyrim our 4430 which is an i5 44:30 intel doesn't have an i3 yet their long only the higher end of their Haswell CPUs got beat by our 58 or rather 6800 K by a whopping 10 frames per second 24 frames per second average on Richland versus 15 now with that said the 5800 K the last gen one was only one fps behind this one so you can really see it's a small clock bump and not really anything revolutionary in terms of performance our next game up was dirt three and in this one Richland outperformed Intel solution by about 75% that is fantastic all the way from 22 fps or so to 37 fps going for a different platform bearing in mind this one costs about $30 less than the Intel solution finally in Starcraft 2 which is a very sort of mainstream II type title Richland wins by about 25% versus the Haswell GPU and we see it once again very close to the 5800 K so was this the most exhaustive test of benchmarks that we could have possibly run no was this pretty much all you need to know about Richland I would say yes AMD is delivered a new chip that goes on their existing platform that you don't need a new board for they've delivered outstanding graphics performance in a CPU or APU or whatever the heck you want to call it which really isn't any different from what they did last time but that fine because what they did last time was great - I've done a fair number of videos about their last generation APU and it's awesome and so I think that pretty much wraps it up if you want to do entry level gaming and you don't want to buy a graphics card buy an APU thanks for checking out this episode of Linus tech tips don't forget to subscribe for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
