Best APU from AMD?

[Evolution.]

I need to know the best and "quad core" APU from amd that supports DDR3 memory. Yes I am aware of their horrible price to performance and single core performance.

I have to say A8-7650K. I have an old rig that uses it as the CPU and i just can't complain. It's quadcore with 4Mb of Cache and 3.3Ghz of clock (Can oc to 3.8Ghz). Although it's possible that most people will just laugh at you if you say you will use that for gaming, this tiny thing is a monster, specially for it's price.

 

With a 4Gb GPU and 8Gbs of DDR3 RAM, it was able to run the following games just like this: (Obs: The results may not be 100% precise as it's been some time since i played these games on the rig)

 

GTA V - Ultra settings at a minimum of 40 FPS, never dropping below it. Most of the time you will find yourself with around 50 something FPS.

Rise of the Tomb Raider - High settings and pretty solid 60 fps in most places, BUT some places will drop below 20.

Fallout 4 - High settings (Godrays disabled), around 40 FPS at all times.

Doom 2016 - Very High settings with some settings at Ultra buttery smooth FPS never drops from 60. You will generally get around 80-100 FPS just fine.

Mad Max 2015 - Ultra settings 60 FPS buttery smooth no problems.

The Witcher 3 - Around 40-50 FPS in Very High settings.

 

That's all i can recall right now. It's cheap af, the power comsuption is very low, and the performance is 10/10. Of course there are some APUs that are better such as literally the best APU the A10-7890K but i don't have one so i don't know how does run. I hope it helped =)

He already has DDR3 RAM tho.

 

Anyways, you could go for something like the A10-7890K. But for the same money you could also go for an 860k and OC it to somewhere around 4.1-4.3 GHz and combine it with a 1050 for the same money while getting more performance. (This is assuming ur not looking for used parts)

If I recall when the 7890k came out I kept getting partner emails from AMD talking about how it could run Battlefield one on 1080P and medium settings run 60 frames consistently however the new AMD Apu use that use ddr4 I believe they have one for $100 that crushes the 7890k and the 7890k I believe is still going for like $125. That being sad I did a build last year with the 7890k for Christmas young kid getting into gaming and there is't a game that he cant play, although some of the settings are going to be on low but you're still going to get very playable frame rates on even  AAA titles.

$120 is kinda expensive for that what do you think is something a little more affordable and right below it

Any of the A10s and preferably one that ends with a K

That one is $95, the 5800K is $125, and the 7890 is overpriced on Amazon at $195.
