3ds Max 8 (SP2) Results

The Trinity APUs were outclassed in terms of their CPU compute prowess for this benchmark. Sadly, even the previous generation Llano A8-3850 APU put in better performance than the newer APUs.

 

Futuremark 3DMark Vantage Results

Note that in this test, we've continued using the same discrete graphics card to ascertain the influence of the platform in gaming related matters. We've another page later that will compare the APU's integrated graphics performance. Overall, the reduced clock speeds on the A10-5700 didn't seem to affect the overall 3DMark results for mainstream gaming, though the CPU portion of the test certainly reflected the change. Will other games be affected or show indifference? We detail that on the next page.
