Far Cry 2 Results

Continuing the testing on the same discrete graphics card to check the influence of the platform in actual games, we found the the A10-5700 to outperform the Llano A8-3850 by a small margin of about 3%. The Intel platform fared much better on this benchmark, thus showing this game's reliance on the platform's throughput for better results despite using the same GPU.

 

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Results

On the other hand, this DirectX 11-supported gaming benchmark switched tables somewhat and gave the AMD APUs a lead in its competitive class of processors. The A10-5700 turned in a better performance against the Llano and Intel Core i3-3220 processors.
