(Overly long CPU name) Review
This CPU works perfectly for my rig. I came from a dual core CPU that I managed to burn a core out on, and I am a huge gamer, so this processor was a huge improvement. This processor handles every game well, and there is little to no lag with the games I play. It works great with my EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC graphics card. I love this processor and it was worth every penny. The heatsink that comes with it is a bit small for what I use, so I swapped it out with the Corsair heatsink that I had on my other CPU and that seems like it has done wonders for my computer's temperature. Overall, this is a fantastic processor for any mid-range gaming PC.

Fast MidRange CPU
needed a processor for a quick and dirty bulid for the wife, couldn't complain to get this for under 70 bucks on sale. havnet used the onboard video, had a spare card laying around, figure even though its not a half bad GPU and I got decently fast system memory I wouldn't want it using it up. Installed no problem booted no problem but I do fancy my self not an idiot too. saw reports of them running hot, I stress tested it for 2 weeks while I was waiting for more parts to come in and on a stock cooler it never broke 50C but at the same time it was all synthetic tests out side of a case with the stock cooler. now its in a tiny case with a sealed water cooler I had laying around and seems to be doing ok still. no real load has been put on it since the system setup arrived at: AMD A8-6600K MSI A78M-E45 Sapphire VaporX 5770 Crucial M500 240GB 8Gb G.Skill sniper 2133 (2x4gb) OCZ StealXStream 600W BitFenix Prodigy M Corsair H50 CPU cooler w/ Push Pull dual 120mm Silverstone Golfball fans some parts were spares laying around (H50, 5770, 600W PSU) so they helped edge the cost. its just for the wife and her college classes, needed something with a super fast boot and load time incase there was a super late home work assignment or other project emergency. press power button BAM its on and there. Its probably overkill, would probably play games at a decent rate but its all for fast boot and load times. she does boring things like that

Great value and performance! The internal Radeon graphics are way better than I had hoped.
I may never stress this cpu's potential. However, I've had a chance now to give it a good workout, and I have to say a new build has never been so smooth. With the internal Radeon graphics processing built in, the ROI has been exceptional. I didn't build a gaming machine, or an "office" machine. This CPU gives me performance characteristics that are squarely in the middle of those requirements. That's the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned, and the price to get there was VERY affordable. I'm using a MSI A8 board.

ITEM WAS BROKEN, THE BOX WAS BROKEN BEFORE WAS PACKED AND SEALED
I really angry because this processor was opened , the seal of the box was broken. It was put into the box opened and was damaged. I can not return the item because i am from Venezuela, and the cost is too expensive to me send it back. I am really disapoint. I can not make my new computer because someone opened my processor and damage it. Later they put into the big packing and sealed it. I think never buy this kind of item from the seller again.

Best option when it comes to price and usefulness
I have 6 m onths with this processor and even though its for the house computer which only my dad uses like 4 times a week for a few hours, there are times where he puts together bluprints and runs heavy programs and graphicws like autocad and stuff like that and he says no lagging and is really fast. I think is the BEST bang for your buck AND the best option if you dont have the cash for a video card which we didnt. When gaming, on HIGH graphics (tomb raider survivor) it did freeze but im pretty sure its a ram problem not the APU. before purchasing the ram make sure you go to the AMD web page and check the specific model and serial number for the rams compatible with this. Because thats one thing i didnt do. Mine is not incompatible but the serial number of the model i purchased doesnt match the list they have so im almost 99% sure thats the cause of the ocasional freeze on my system when i multitask.

If you're looking at this review now (April 2015), go ahead and get the newer APU, the A10 6800k if you can find it for under 110. This thing cannot be beat dollar for dollar. It's a beast at most things, and even ran Solid Edge ST7 pretty smooth. Throw in a graphics card (I got the R7 250X, though I regret not just saving and getting a 260X or better) and you'll run most games at a high framerate. Great APU, no issues so far (read up on thermal margins if you're considering getting it. It will save you some worry about an aftermarket cooler if you aren't planning on overclocking it).

Decent bang for the buck.
Great for basic use and very mild gaming.

How to keep the cost down on an HTPC
Upgraded my HTPC with this CPU. Great functionality and speed for the HTPC. Had to switch to a Gelid Hero Heat sink and fan as the stock cooler let this jewel run to 70 degrees C running stress tests - so be for-warned. I could have insttalled Windows 8 but I opted to install Windows 7 and a new version of Linux called Peach OSI. I tried Linux MCE but it wouldn't run properly with this rig. Dual booting is a must for me and rather than deal with all the possible UEFI issues I opted to go with Windows 7. Running this in conjuction with a HD Homerun box is truly sweet... I had been running a Biostar motherboard with an I5 in this HTPC box. There is no comparison. The A8-6600K runs circles around the I5 and for less money.

Compré este procesador hace tres semanas, y la verdad es que estoy más que encantado. Lo compré por aquí por la diferencia de precio que había con otras tiendas. Es una CPU bastante potente, si lo quieres para jugar con la gráfica integrada que lleva tienes más que de sobra, eso si es mejor y aconsejable tener RAM dual channel a 8Gb mínimo 1600 Mhz, para poder dar esa potencia extra a la gráfica para poder mover los juegos con mucha fluidez en rendimiento alto. Lo aconsejo primero por el precio que tiene y segundo por el rendimiento que da, jugando no llega a calentarse a más de 30º; viene con el disipador de serie que es más que suficiente (no se dejen engañar por el aspecto y tamaño), lleva la pasta térmica preaplicada (un punto a favor). Para los que quieran tener un pc económico para varias cosas, aconsejo este procesador.

Ce processeur est merveilleux. Fait ce qu'on lui demande avec une belle rapidité sans pour cela chauffer de façon excessive. De plus comme c'est la version " K " on peut l'overclocker à souhait " sans exagérer bien sur ". En automatique avec ma carte mère Asus, il passe à 4,2 GHz sans le moindre souci et sans chauffer. La carte graphique intégrée est largement suffisante pour pas mal de choses, peut-être pas pour de gros jeux et encore, mais là n'est pas le but, si on est "joueur" il suffi d'ajouter une bonne carte graphique.

Ottimo qualità prezzo, ha sorpreso le mie aspettative.. purtroppo riscalda molto e consiglio di non usare il dissipatore che esce insieme al processore, ma di comprane uno voi. Ad esempio io ho comprato l'Artick Freezer pro 7, e mi tiene le temperature a 46 gradi che per un amd non sono per niente male. Non posso voler di piu, con questo processore riesco a giocare a giochi usciti da poco e cmq è sempre veloce per svolgere nel frattempo altre funzioni.

A great APU from AMD, I have it overclocked and running at 4.3 steady.. At this price it's a great buy... My son did a nice PC build with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHn93gAAx74 It's worth a look
