How might an A8-3850, of the Llano persuasion, perform in a heavily-overclocked state?
The A8-3850 (pictured above) reached the heady-heights of 3.773GHz - with a 1.52V serving of juice - and together with its integrated Radeon HD6550D class graphics solution pushed to 870MHz, worked its way through some 3DMark scenarios.
3DMark 06 was first on the agenda, with a score of 10,492 within reach.
3DMark Vantage was next, with a score of P6,160 (Performance Preset).
Last, but not least, a score of P1,591 (Performance Preset) was attained in 3DMark 11.
Stock performance, by all accounts, came in at 7,650, P4,400 and P1,148 for 3DMark 06, 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 11, respectively.
