We tried it: AMD A8-3850 APU - Introducing AMD Llano, i.e. the "big" Fusion
Test configurations
Catalyst Control Center has become the AMD Vision Engine Control Center
We have already presented the two Socket FM1 motherboards included in the test, and we have already tested the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro and ASUS Maximus 4 Extreme motherboards. As a repetition/replenishment, it is worth turning the page to "We tried: Intel Z68 and a large motherboard in the clamp", and the "Tried: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme + Core i7-2600k - the harvest season begins”. There is no model yet, and that is the ASUS M5A97 EVO. It’s a fresh, socket AM3 + socket board that relies on the AMD 970 / SB 950 chipset and is also prepared to receive the Bulldozer. The Phenom II X5 970 Black Edition processor has been placed in this motherboard.
The product has Dual Intelligent Processors 2 and Digi + VRM power supply, TPU and EPU as well as Auto tuning function can be used. The M5A97 EVO already has a graphical UEFI BIOS, with system management assisted by AI Suite II. Of course, it has all the capabilities in the field of hardware, ie it can be used in a CrossFireX configuration, and it also has SATA 6 Gb / s ports as well as USB 3.0 connectors.
