Fast, cheap quad. Great iGPU saves $. Performs great for HTPCs! Decent for basic gaming/older titles. Kinda high TDP @ 100w but factor in full GPU: Pretty efficient. Decent aftermarket cooler would be wise, given output and unlocked multiplier. Upshot; Can use most AM3 coolers. Downside; FM1 socket obsolete. Still a great buy for existing FM1 devices.

I have not yet installed it yet as I don't have a CPU Cooler yet, but I know that anything with more than 2 to 3 cores on a CPU is a powerful one to own and value for life! I'm no fanatic of Intel's Core-i series of processors, but I'm a loyal fanatic of their Core 2-series processors as much as I am a radical, and loyal fan of AMD and ATI... "Suck it nVidia, you Loser!" ...because I have particular tastes when it comes to CPU Manufacturers and Models and CPU series like the aforementioned love of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPU's as well as their AMD equivalents! As for Video Cards and/or Video Memory... I'll ALWAYS be loyal to ATI and any other brand except the overrated nVidia, just like ASUS is as a manufacturer, I just don't see what is SO great about ASUS vs Gigabyte, Intel and AMD/ATI!Read full review

I am so happy I took a leap of faith with this cpu. After extensive research for the correct socket for my motherboard I came across this cpu. I went from a AMD A4 due core to this AMD A8 Quad core and the difference is very noticeable.

Quick little upgrade to an 8 year old main board - this is the top of the line processor for this board. I purchased board and processor before this processor was even in the line up.

Minor improvement from the 3850 but still an improvement. Especially easy to overclock as it is open architecture therefor when overclocking don't have to mess with the clock speed which affects everything else in the system.

Bought this to upgrade my aging gaming PC. Was running an AMD A6-3500 and needed some more speed to run The Lord of The Rings Online better. The A8-3870K is the fastest APU available for the FM1 socket.

For my particular motherboard, with an FM1 Socket. This was the highest processor I could buy. At $29.99 is was a great value. Arrived quickly and easy to install.

This cpu(apu) is very fast and most likely a very good piece of equipment, but I could not get it to operate within the required temp range. I tried 4 different heat sink set ups and it still ran too hot. I replaced it with the A8-3850 which does the job I need it to do.
