On my A8-3500 build under win & 64 bit I sometimes have crashes after the system goes to standby (I think this is a known issue). Does anybody know if the new Trinity chips are more stable under a win 64 environment?

In what way do you think AMD has the more sensible approach, certainly not with their driver updates that fix bugs only to recreate them in a later version.
I have both AMD and Intel graphics in my HTPC's and can honestly say I see no difference in picture quality at all.
I think the A8 and A10's are quick but the A6 is slower than an Intel G630.

Has anyone found a comparison between 65W A6-5400K and 65W A10-5700? I was wondering about wattage, idle temps, temps playing movies, load wattage, load temps etc.
I would need to know how much psu I would need. I would like Blu-Ray, DVB-S2/T2 PCI-E card, SSD as boot and a second 2.5" HDD for recording live TV.
Does AMD's Linux driver still lack support for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 profile 4.1+?
I would prefer A6 for HTPC, but maybe A10 for some light gaming. So kind of stuck there a bit with little to no information available!!

Thanks but I only see A8. Also for the numbers to mean much they would need to be tested on same config. But I do not see that happening. Just have to rely on us!

I would really like to see a comparison of all the 65W parts: A10-5700, A8-5500, A6-5400K and our old friend A6-3500.
