Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ AMD A8-6500 Richland 4.1GHz Quad-Core Desktop Processor Socket FM2 65W with AMD Radeon HD - AD6500OKHLBOX by Hideo Masuda แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

I must immediately notice that this processor is not for 4770k fans. It is for those who need comfortable work in a small package without fancy (and expensive) cooling system. 4 cores in action - comfortable work in Windows Aero, watching any movies with any codecs, Youtube 1080p - please. Even working in Sony Vegas 11 pleases with the smoothness of the interface. Yes, the A8-6500T is no monster at rendering, but if you're not creating HD video on an industrial scale, then AMD does a good job - it's all about time. Support for Hardware Acceleration in Vegas "out of the box" without any dancing with tambourines, the same applies to DXVA in MPC-HC. The heat dissipation is such that the computer can run 24/7 without worry. The cooler fastening mechanism is convenient and simple. The WEI index in my config is 5.9 - the hard disk is several years old. According to the processor 6.9, graphics 6.7, RAM 7.2.

Pros
  • Low heat, 4 physical cores
Cons
  • Stock cooler is noisy
