AMD A6-3500 Llano 2.1GHz (2.4GHz Max Turbo) Socket FM1 65W Triple-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6530D AD3500OJGXBOX

Pros: I bought this processor to upgrade an aging machine. The processor has done very well and has a windows 7 rating of 6.6

Cons: None

Pros: This CPU will get the job done for your average everyday browsing the web, watch HD videos and normal things that's some what light usage on the APU. I've had this APu for over a ear now and gets the job done for a low price and low power consumption. Cheap, snappy, and reliable up to this point in my life.

Cons: The main reason I gave this 4 eggs is because my PC is a mid range gaming PC. This APU can actually run TF2 on low settings at around 40 FPS which was surprising to me (at the time I didn't have a dedicated GPU for my PC). But on heavier games like Crysis or BF3 or even assassins creed (the first one) it struggles to perform on medium setting at around 20 FPS average along side my now poopy GPU that crashes quite a bit.

Other Thoughts: In the end this is a pretty good APU for a good price but for me specifically it's not what I'm looking for, but for lighter users I would recommend this APU.

Here's my PC specs if you wanna see
-A6-3500 (that one was kinda obvious)
-GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6670 1GB
-4GBs or DDR3 Ram (not sure on the frequency)
-750GB HDD
-ASUS f1a75-m
-Windows ult

Pros: nice Apu
not a lot of power usage
not a lot of heat
easily overclocks and is fast

Cons: Not for extreme gaming

Other Thoughts: Would recommend getting a NVIDEA graphics card but if you want crossfire get AMD

Pros: Great CPU with sufficient power and graphics unit for my children's computer who watche HD videos and play internet games.

Cons: None

Pros: I used this CPU for my HTPC build, and I'm extremely happy with it. It plays HD video without breaking a sweat. For the price, you really can't beat this since its CPU and quite capable GPU in one. Very happy with AMD. Stock cooler is very quiet as well. It even plays some modern games with medium settings quite well.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I actually feel like this CPU may of been overkill for an HTPC. It's quite snappy in Windows.

Pros: Very low power usage. Never have heating issues. Processing is consistent with what I would expect out of this CPU. Using this for my HTPC build and it beats all my expectations for this type of build.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Wish I had considered a APU with better future potential for graphics.

Pros: Very overclockable, I put a watercooler on this APU and got its clock speed up to 6.1GHZ and the GPU up to 1040MHZ.
Plays most games very well, I can almost get WoW to play on Ultra with the insane overclocking.

Cons: The voltage list on the north bus (mostly graphics card use) is listed in reverse, I have mine set to 0.975V and it keeps the graphics card stable at the insane frequency I set it to better than the 1.2V that I would normally.

(Higher voltage is less stable and lower voltage is more stable, it's quite odd, although it could be my Asrock A75M-ITX MOBO)

Other Thoughts: For a cheapy budget CPU, this is a very good choice, although be ready to overclock because it is designed to be overclocked.

Pros: Great performance for the price and ease of install. Used to upgrade my dads Internet machine. Works as good as moms i3 as far as I see in normal use and much cheaper.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Buy it if u just want a good simple build. Not really for gaming without a separate video card, but impressive video for on chip

Pros: Plenty of speed for a basic build. Unless you're running high-end, graphic-intensive games you won't need a separate graphics card. Video playback, etc is great straight from the APU.

Cons: Mine had a bent pin that kept it from seating on the motherboard. It took about two minutes to bend it back to where the CPU would seat properly, but once I got it seated, the computer booted right up and it worked fine.

Other Thoughts: I would highly recommend this APU for builders on a budget. Not only are you getting a relatively inexpensive processor that works just fine for the basics, you also can save money on a graphics card and put the savings into a SSD or more RAM.

Pros: I bought this APU for my new HTPC setup and I couldn't be more pleased. It's in a very small Mini ITX enclosure and there are no problems at all with heat. It streams 1080p HD all day without even breaking a sweat. I thought a quad core would be overkill for a HTPC, and a dual core be cutting it close. So I went with this Tri-core and couldn't be happier. I was also surprised that it can even play games on medium settings which is awesome.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I don't know why AMD is having such trouble even though they make awesome products like this. I'll support them whenever I can.
