APU myth, i need to know the truth based on your experiences.....

first off wala sad ko kahibaw unsa nga games, and second wala sad siya ni mention kung prolonged gaming ba or dili... so probably extreme case lang siguro to.
pero it really bothered me....

I meant sa FM2+ sockets category. A88 chipset man kaha. so taas taas sila sa duha nga 58 og 78. back read FM2 socket/board akong ge mention.

Nope it's A75, the lowest chipset you can get on an itx board.

Basin campaign rana nila para madiscourage sa APU. Dako siguro ug igo kung Intel+Video card ilang mahalin.

I think tungod ni sa load nga i.handle sa APU lang, compared sa division of labor sa CPU + GPU combo..

APU
- DDR rams are used as GDDR for graphics
- Mobo VRM are used to power Graphics + Procie
- Procie in the same Chip as Graphics

technically ang load sa VRM and APU chip is double, I think same sad sa RAMs since DDR is used instead of GDDR sa GPU..

do I make sense? LOL

anyways, I think mao sad ni ang culprit sa hasswell heating problem, increasing iGPU power by 20% increase pud sa heat sa procie.

D man pud tingale maghimo ang manufacturers ug board nga dli mka.handle sa processor nga itaod.. pero m.vary gyud nuon nah ang durability..

actually durability is my concern. given that heat + electonics dont really mix well.

i also doubt if its just a campaign, as they were selling those amd bundles like pancakes, kada adto nako, nag assemble gyud na og AMD bundle.

now with regards to haswell heating, i dont think it can be blamed sa graphics. ako 4770 mu abot 100-102 deg at full blown rendering in first 10min. labi na kung prolonged but hasnt throttled . i have a 550ti gpu so the onboard gpu wasnt being used.
