As a NON-gamer but PHOTO-editer I am looking for a processor suitable for Photoshop editing. Will the AMD A10 be suitable? Not sure if this is the place to ask, but will use an external monitor...do I need to get a laptop with 1080p or will one with less not make a diffence in display on the External monitor. Thanks

Presently using a laptop with I5 m580 , 8  gb ram

As long as we got data from our reviews we did compare it against Sandy Bridge Core i3 to i5 CPUs with and without dedicated GPUs. According to AMD this is the counterpart of the A10-4600M (Core i5 according to the slides). The first prices also indicate this. We added the OpenCL and DirectCompute benchmarks to our test bench, therefore we did not have results from a lot of laptops. As written in the verdict, the A10 looks like to be a very good solution against entry level Sandy Bridge and even Ivy Bridge i3 and i5 CPUs as long as they dont have a discrete GPU.

Please show these comments in their chronological order. What is the advantage to having them numbered and in reverse order? How nutty is that?

On to the review:
What do you spend so much time comparing the Trinity to Intel CPUs costing up to 3 times the price? When you want to buy a value  car like an Escort or a Jetta, do you really need to be giving performance differentials vs a Lamborghini or a Corvette? Really?

A fairer and more usable review will limit the comparison to similar class CPUs or priced notebooks. Basically, you have produced a larger than needed review with a lot of unnecessary and confusing comparisons that are not informative in any useful way. Try dropping all references to out-of-class CPUs and your review will be a lot more readable and useful.

However, if you true objective was to produce confusion in favor or Intel while pretending  to compliment AMD on a much needed product (by dropping here and there a few back ended compliments), congratulations, missions accomplished. Not!

I don't understand, why would you guys only benchmark Arma 2 at ultra settings?
I really want to know if this APU can handle arma 2 at other settings like high/medium/low, specially now that the famous DayZ Mod is out for Arma 2.

SATA-2 and SATA-3 error corrected, thanks for the tip (although not quite polite).

synthetic run of the mill benchmarks are useless.

Piledriver/Bulldozer sucks at Cinebench, which is a bit of an obsolete benchmark tbh. I suggest trying something more intensive like X264 Benchmark, I am sure A10-4600M will beat those Core i3 in those.

Awesome preview, expected from notebookcheck.net
