About the AMD A10-5800K CPU

The AMD A10-5800K is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2012. It is part of AMD's A10 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A10-5800K is compatible with AMD Socket FM2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7660D integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A10-5800K supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A10-5800K has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A10-5800K features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The A10-5800K includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7660D. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card.
