AMD A10-6790K
About processor
The AMD A10-6790K processor is a solid choice for a mid-range desktop CPU. With its four cores and four threads, it offers enough processing power to handle most everyday tasks and even some light gaming.
One of the standout features of this processor is its integrated graphics model, the Radeon HD 8670D. While not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card, it is capable of handling older and less demanding games with ease, making it a good option for budget gaming builds.
The 32nm technology and 100W TDP may not be as efficient as some of the newer processors on the market, but for the price, it still provides good performance. It's also worth noting that this processor is unlocked, allowing for some overclocking potential for those who want to push its performance a bit further.
Overall, the AMD A10-6790K offers a good balance of performance and affordability, making it a great choice for budget-conscious users who still want decent processing power and some gaming capabilities in their desktop setup.
