I am trying to choose between this processor and a Richland AMD A8 with 4.3 Ghz. The A8 has better mhz, but why are A10's considered better?

As I know the A8 has between 2.4 thru 2.9 Ghz rating and not 4.3 as you have related unless you are looking at extreme overclocking. Also, the HD graphics has a lower rating of 7550D and 6550D AMD graphics integrated into the processor. The A10 series graphics 7660HD graphics with 512MB DDR3 capability. If you want to really go for the gold then try checking out the A10-6800K APU. This is new to the market and even faster. It can max to 4.4 Ghz per core and has an even bigger graphics array. Hope this helps.

Graphics should be better on the A10 and that will probably be more noticable that the frequency bump on the A8. So if you really want to stay at the $100 price point, I would go with the A10. For a few $$ more you can get the A10 with the higher freqency and get the best of both worlds.

I would agree with JPL above, the difference is primarily GPU vs. CPU performance. With that being said, I would like to point out a much more potent APU codenamed 'Kaveri' will be available around Feb 2014. I'm not sure what the purpose of your build will be, but if you're looking for a powerful small form factor PC (like a HTPC for example), Kaveri will undoubtedly be the more robust option. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the A10-5700 because it has nearly the same graphics and CPU effectiveness as the A10-5800k but consumes significantly less power, the only difference being you cannot overclock the A10-5700.

It works with an A8. So I would assume it would work with an a10. The architecture hasn't changed significantly

I agree with P. Rutten, Intel processors in general outperform AMD processors. This holds especially true in mobile processors where heat and power consumption must be balanced with performance. Why do you think you find AMD processors more often in budget laptops.

a10 is a APU x4 is a CPU. if your goning to run a dedicated gpu get the x4 if you dont want a stand alone gpu get the a10

I honestly don't know our plans for Arrandale on our UL series. I think there are two options coming from Intel (4 threads and 8) and they are probably much more expensive than the SU7300. Those might be processors for a $1400 ultra-niche model; not sure what we're going to do (really!). We are extremely pleased with the positive reviews from the SU7300 cpu models (spec/price balance) so I wouldn't want to see us mess with success too soon.

I have that AMD cpu but, I don't know how well it would suite your needs. Have you tried looking at AMD's website to see the processor's full set of specs? It might provide you more insight.

They differ in the speed of the Processor, the Q200E-BHI3T45 has 1.40 GHz and Q200E-BSI3T08 has 1.80 GHz so it is a bit faster

In my opinion A8-4500M is better. It has 4 MB of L2 cache which doubles the 2 MB of the A4-6210. And the graphics card are faster. You can see it here: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/896/AMD_A4-Series_for_Notebooks_A4-6210_vs_AMD_A8-Series_for_Notebooks_A8-4500M.html

Yes, I have been very pleased with this processor. The only thing to remember is that this unit relies on your RAM for anything gaming related. I paired mine with 8 Gb's of 1600mhz RAM and can run most games on high to max. Photoshop and even video editing should be breeze. Hope that helps your decision. Make sure to take a look at the A8-6600k too! it is the next gen of this unit and its on sale right now. ;)

Looks like the A8 has a faster CPU, but due to the design of the A4, it may surpass the A8 in actual performance According to the article the A4 seems to be more of notebook chip. check out the notebookcheck web site for more info http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A8-4500M-Notebook-Processor.74884.0.html

I have an A10-5800k on mine at home and at work. I am very happy with them. If I was buying them today I might go with the A10-6800k, but I have no experience or have I done any research on that so I can't say it would be better.

Hey, -A1000:Processor DualCore and microSD, up to 32 GB. -A3000:Processor QuadCore and microSD, up to 64 GB but, look at this and compare yourself. http://www.phonebunch.com/compare-phones/lenovo_ideatab_a3000-812-vs-lenovo_ideatab_a1000-813/

It's hard to answer this without more detail on your setup (motherboard, memory, overclocking, etc), but my experience with this chip in a different build is that it's borderline - you may max out cores. If you're thinking about buying this chip now (that is - you *don't* already own it) I'd suggest getting the FX-8320 instead, which only costs a little more, runs cooler, and responds well to overclocking (I've been running both of these chips with Evo 212 coolers at 4.5GHz for several months 24/7 and the FX-6350 runs MUCH hotter).

I also read the nearly 100% positive reviews on the AMD Phenom II x4 965 AM3, and chose it for that reason. I have learned over the years, newer is NOT always better and sometimes the more expensive, even by the same company, may not be superior. I like this CPU very much so far, but I did purchased a larger cooling fan as the one that comes with it was small, loud and not very good at cooling this high heat producing CPU. Good luck!

The new one comes with Allwinner 1.2Ghz. I heard it is better the PIPO MAX M6, because the Cotex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz is better than Allwinner.

The "K" processors support overclocking, which the ones without the K in the model number do not. There are a couple of other minor differences that you can see here http://ark.intel.com/compare/80811,80810 (if that link doesn't work, go to ark.intel.com and compare them directly).
