AMD 870K with what motherboard?

While DIY players are casting their eyes on Intel's six-generation processor this year, AMD, the Intel's nemesis, also listed a new AMD Fast Dragon II X4 870K processor, which is similar to AMD 860K, shielding the core graphics card, the flagship multicore high performance, Recommended for mainstream gamers who need to be equipped with independent graphics.

It is obvious that AMD 870K is mainly used to replace AMD 860K, exactly how good is the CPU upgrade, whether the need to match the new motherboard? Today, the Computer Pepsi Network Small series to detailed analysis of AMD 870K how, and AMD 870K need to go with what kind of motherboard, together to understand the next bar.

How about AMD 870K?

As can be seen from the naming, the AMD 870K four core processor, which began listing this October, is the AMD 860K upgraded version that began listing last September. AMD 870K still used the road roller structure, using 28nm process, the original four core four threads, the default frequency reached 3.9Ghz, can Rui frequency to 4.1Ghz, and has a 4M two cache, no built-in core graphics, the use of lock-frequency design, support overclocking, its design power consumption of 95W.

Compared to the previous AMD 860K processors (frequency 3.78Ghz, core frequency 4.0ghz,4m two cache, power consumption 95W), AMD 870K processor is only the main frequency to improve the 0.2Ghz, other aspects of the basic unchanged. Because there is no architecture upgrades, coupled with only a small increase in CPU frequency, performance slightly upgraded, and other aspects of the basic remain unchanged, so the new AMD 870K four core processor is not a replacement product, is only a horse, performance small upgrade products.

Compared with Intel's six-generation CPU this year, in the architecture, process, frequency, power, memory, the replacement of a significant increase, AMD this year obviously appears sluggish and backward.

Let's look at the performance of AMD 870K processors in the current desktop CPU using a CPU ladder diagram, as shown in the following figure.

The position of AMD 870K in the Desktop CPU ladder diagram

From the CPU ladder diagram can be seen, AMD 870K performance bias in the mainstream, comprehensive performance than the Intel Core i3 performance is low, after all, the price difference of nearly 300 yuan. In general, this CPU positioning bias mainstream public users, with the mainstream of independent graphics, to meet the majority of the mainstream 3D network game needs.

AMD 870K with what motherboard?

Because the AMD 870K processor is the same as AMD 860K, the socket fm2+ slot type is still used, so the motherboard is the same, as long as the motherboard with socket fm2+ socket interface can be compatible.

The current socket fm2+ interface with a number of motherboards, such as A58, A78, A88, a88x and so on, but most of the AMD motherboard is cheaper, especially the A88 motherboard is the mainstream, so the best match amd 870K is the A88 motherboard, recommended to choose Gigabyte, Asus and other well-known brands A88 motherboard, Ensure the stability and quality of the machine.

A88 motherboards are generally inexpensive

PostScript language:

AMD Fast Dragon II X4 870K is a new fast-speed four core processor that AMD launched this October. As a new generation of shielding core display, not lock screen products, mainly used to replace the AMD 860K listed last year, the main frequency of a small increase, performance is stronger, but does not support DDR4 memory, also did not reduce power consumption, This new speed Dragon CPU did not bring too much sincerity, but the future AMD installed also more worthy of recommendation.
