    i may have had this issue on a 760g/sb710 board, but i was told by a local pc repair shop our areas power supply is unreliable. i was never able to tell which caused my issue. :(

    Despite the unreliable power supply is a possible cause but it is hardly the same case with Intel integrated GPU. Sometimes AMD GPU would have to be re-soldered due to high temperature making it to lose contact with the mobo. There is something about the integrity of the GPU though. I hope the CPU is not having the same issue.

    that was an am4 system quite a few years ago, had an athlon II x3 435 c2, upgraded from a single core(damn it was a good little system). On advice, i replaced it totally, i couldnt afford to kill new hardware if it was a faulty part and because i was being a tightwad.

    You are correct. This dual core APU from AMD is very common over here because third world countries like mine can hardly purchase high-end laptops with quality hardware. Most of these laptops are 3 to 4 years old but they are still brand new ones in the market - like the HP Compaq (HP 655), etc.

    I am just the opposite of people who like to keep old systems. I get discontented with laptop that has been too long with me for like two years. My laptops and a desktop are few more months above 2 years and they bore me out. I am looking for something new on which I tend selling the old ones in replacement. The bargain is a little too low from those I have contacted but I am still waiting for somebody who would give me something reasonable.

    decent(for many) quad core apus can be had from 65gbp upwards. a8 7600 is 70 but i got mine for just over 60 and its a damn decent little cpu, which after having the x3, i knew would be good enough for my needs. :)

    ps, after having the a8 for nearly 2 years, its been good value and rarely runs at 100% on all 4 cores. :)

    I can't imagine that because it won't be able to run Windows 10 flawlessly in contemporary. As we are quite aware XP, as an operating system, had been phased out by Microsoft. Even the supports for Windows 7 are facing the same fate. It is more or less useless to have this APU around. Third-world countries are mostly going to have issue with old CPU systems though.

    Can't see it very well, but that i7 6900K is an 8 core chip LGA 2011 v3 cpu.
    If I see the chart for Performance Calcul Brut, it looks like the AMD Zen chip is just below that. Which rates higher than the Skylake i7 6700k. That's the best AMD has ever done in its entire history if those figures are correct. It's about time AMD got off it's arse and started some competition with those i7 cpu's

    Best to wait till AMD put these things into the market and actually see how they preform in the real world against what Intel has

    The tested sample was already the same like this what comes into the market, only the turbo mode wasn't fully 'unlocked'. There will be no surprises. Only what really could be interesting is the price, which isn't leaked (yet).

    If it's a factory locked reference chip, then it isn't going to be what's out there in the real world sometime in 2017 is it?
    We must wait
