AMD A4-5300 Trinity 3.4GHz
for $50 entry level dualcore looks like a wiener MSI MB include XP drivers for thier FM2+ MBs - 6SATA/USB3/& eat DDR3. One slot for my most reverent ASUS XONAR soundboard. Weird, the thought of of no videochip, being included on the CPU die. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardwar...eils-trinity/1 |

AMD A4-5300 APU with AMD Radeon HD 7480D http://products.amd.com/en-us/Deskto...ail.aspx?id=49 Now, the information here leads me to suspect the 7480D GPU doesn't have dedicated movie decoder. So in fact the "wiener" as you put it, is the A6-5400K ($70). It's more likely to be feature complete. My assumption is, when they name the GPU section, the features remain intact from instance to instance. This isn't evidence the A4-5300 works that way, but you should do a bit more research before deciding the $55 one is the right one. The movie decoder appears as part of DXVA and it helps reduce the amount of CPU needed to play popular movie formats. Not all movie formats are accelerated, but some are. http://m.amd.com/us/salesguide/Docum...tures_2012.pdf The cooler the 5300 comes with is "aluminum block" type. No heatpipes or copper core. Some people are picky about these things. I would not expect the 5400K to be any different, because both 5400K and 5300 are 65W class processors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-A4-5300-...item2ec9e7bcf1 Paul |

The movie decoder appears as part of DXVA and it helps reduce the amount of CPU needed to play popular movie formats. Not all movie formats are accelerated, but some are. I did notice mention that at perfunctory video performance, that is what seemed to me, it would be several processor nomenclature steps up and above to reasonably expect serious contention for viable application within video standards obsequiously, as always, catering to a gaming platform. 192 over 128 streams offhand, I couldn't say would be any the more relevant to acceleration and what core facets are applicable, if not trade offs, in achieving further proficiency advantageously upon a uniquely posed in-die GPU. At the abovementioned AMD boxed sales description, the A6-5400K, however, gleans only a sixth, possibly a tenth, less representatives, among reviews provided, overwhelming in favor of the 128-stream Trinity variant. However odd, perhaps I should have looked indirectly at those 192-streams for salience at a $15 premium. http://m.amd.com/us/salesguide/Docum...tures_2012.pdf The cooler the 5300 comes with is "aluminum block" type.

That I did look more closely for pertinence and AMD's 32nm/SOI fabrication, along with FM2 benefits, (possibly a port over from development initially on a laptop platform), aren't so demanding as to provide satisfactory results with a little attention to an aftermarket mating cream judiciously applied to stock HS provisions. I like a good core cooler, but after stock provisions warrant the addition of something I'm just as apt unable to resist for the flash-factor.
