Review: Fleeting romance but great value for money - Due to motherboard compatibility issues, I was forced to buy an A4 before I could install my Richland A10 (see my MSI FM2 A75MA E35 review for the whole story). Before I installed the A10 I had a little time to play around with this APU and I must say, performance is very impressive for the price. Everything was nice and quick and looked great on a 32" HDTV. Didn't get a chance to play any games on it but raw numbers and other reviews suggest it should be roughly equal to an Xbox 360 or a PS3 in graphics power so decent performance at 720p but I wouldn't push it up to 1080p (incidentally, on paper it should be very similar to the A6-4455M in my laptop but with a better CPU and that is a pretty competent 720p gaming machine so it should serve you well). Overall, great price and recommended for a light gaming and HD media PC machine.
Review: Affordable Chip - Average Performance - I managed to pick this processor up for only £22. It is more than capable of handling every day tasks and I would definitely recommend it if you can find a cheap motherboard to pair it with. But you will not get miracles in terms of performance. There is no doubt a surprising amount of graphical horsepower provided by this chip - but after having ran tests, the performance is somewhat comparable to a GeForce 610 so you should not expect to be playing games with this chip. As far as the CPU performance is concerned, considering the price it is rather decent. But it provides performance comparable to an older Core 2 Duo which isn't ideal if you have any plans of combining this chip with a graphics card. So do invest in a more powerful chip such as the A6, or the A8 (or an Intel Celeron with a dedicated graphics card) if you plan on doing anything more than watching a few movies and browsing the web.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many cores does this have?**
A: 2

**Q: hi, would this apu play Full HD Blu Ray Discs or would i need amd A6 or A8 APU. Thanks**
A: Yes easily.I can recommend the Asrock FM2A75 PRO Motherboard (supports triple monitors at once - HDMI 1080p, Dvi , Vga) its flawless and overclocker friendly.Quite the best motherboard for the price (£40) I have ever had in any of my rigs.

**Q: can i install windows 10 on a amd a 4-5300**
A: I've not had issues with mine, so you can

**Q: Hi, does a fan come with it?**
A: Hi Chance L. Yup a fan does come with it. Just make sure that when opening the box you take care, because the fan has coolant already placed on it and if you open and place the fan on the coolant side then it will end up sticking on the surface you place it on so just make sure. Also from reading reviews I know that the stock fan that comes in the box is not good especially if you want to use it for intensive stuff such as gaming or for professinal reasons such as video converting and similar stuff, however if you get it for basic day to day usage such as web browsing, document editing, etc, then the fan should be good enough. Anyways hope this info helps, good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good product and great value
*by B***N on 3 August 2013*

Really quick CPU and great onboard GPU if you don't want to do hardcore gaming. I used this CPU on a home server system using Ubuntu, I use the system for sharing and downloading media of all types. For that purpose it is great, it seems to be very quick and works very well with Ubuntu. I am also using the onboard GPU and it also seems to be very good for everything apart from hardcore games. Fast and cheap what more can I say.
