Phoronix takes a look at the performance of AMD A10-5800K on Linux

Under Ubuntu 12.10 with the Linux 3.5 kernel, the following Intel processors were compared to judge the A10 Trinity performance: Core i3 2100, Core i3 2120, Core i5 2400S, Core i5 2500K, Core i5 3470, and Core i7 3770K. The Intel i5-3470 and i7-3770K were the Ivy Bridge processors while the other CPUs are previous-generation Sandy Bridge parts.

The AMD parts for this comparison were an A8-3870K Llano APU and then an AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer. The Intel and AMD CPUs that were benchmarked under Linux were limited to the interesting APU/CPUs that were on hand at Phoronix. For those that missed the original Phoronix article on the new desktop Trinity APUs, see AMD A10-5800K "Trinity" APU On Linux for details on this 2012 APU and its second-generation Bulldozer processor cores named Piledriver.
