AMD Latest FUSION Platform featuring MSI A75MA-G55 with AMD A8 3850 Vision

     

    AMD got the first Llano-based desktop APU, the A8-3850 which can completed with an A75-chipset based motherboards. Matching an A-Series APU and A-Series chipset results a perfect Fusion which also called "Lynx" platform. Here, we conduct some test of MSI A75MA-G55 and AMD A3850 on how well it perform on today's applications and games.




         


                 MSI A75MA-G55 - one of the first A75 AMD Chipset that MSI has to offer. The board will support the new AMD A-Series CPU which has an integrated GPU with socket name called “FM1” (905-pins). A75 would be the high-end single chip solution capable of handling these 3 main features - Six SATA 6GB/s connections, four USB 3.0 and eSATA Port Multiplier (allows to connect more than one hard drive to a single SATA port).

 And now ready to conduct some series of testing:

The system:

 Benchmark scores running at stock settings:


3dMark 06

3dMark Vantage

 3DMark 11

And lastly overclock run system:

3dMark 06 (overclock)

3dMark Vantage (overclock)

3dmark11 (overclock)

         Well, I can say that AMD wins  because as you see the numbers on benchmark scores are pretty high and maybe soon it can get more higher as A8 processors can push up the clock more as soon the motherboard will release new bios in the future.
