APU A8-5600K Quad-Core is a performance CPU based on the 32nm, Piledriver architecture.
It offers 4 Physical Cores (4 Logical), initially clocked at 3.6GHz, which may go up to 3.9GHz and 4MB of L2 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Core and Virtualization are activated and the processor has the clock multiplier unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked easily.
The processor integrates mildly powerful Graphics called Radeon HD 7560D, with 256 Shader Processing Units, clocked at 760MHz, which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.
Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 100W.
It is a powerful Quad Core whose performance is good. It's thus capable of running most applications smoothly without any problem.

Powerful, But Higher TDP will make more Heat ..
Would this fit in my motherboard? This is FM2 and so is my current cpu… Thanks :D
Yes it would :)
Wait so does this have an Integrated Gpu?
yes it does
SWEEEEEET any good for battlefield hardline?
you can play it on 720p low/medium settings, I recommend an videocard like an gtx 750 or r7 260x
What's the safe undervoltage of this?
Still the top 1 in the Best CPU category in Game-Debate. Astonishing….
Used to own it, and it still is #1 lmao
I have this, and my task manager says
2 cores and 4 logical processors
shouldn't it be 4 cores?
Don't use task manager for that, use CPUID. Oh and this APU is kinda good at overclocking, it goes to 4.3 very easy, but mine doesn't want to go to 4.4 that easy.
my A8 5600k is running at 4ghz stable
I'm playing on 1280x1024 Bf3 multiplayer 64 players with no problem, Bf4, As cr 4, nfs rivals. I bought this for 130$ with 4gb kingston BONUS.
HOW AM I 12% BETTER?!
This CPU isn't very powerful is why
Hey, planning to buy this because its very cheap.. Is it compatible with my motherboard? Thank you ^_^
Sorry buddy, but your motherboard is not compatible with this APU. You need a new motherboard that has FM2 socket, that mean you will buy new PC
Get a FM2+ instead of FM2.
270X or 280X for this CPU for no bottlenecks?
I was wondering the same thing
If your still wondering, the 270x will have no bottleneck.
Neither will the 280X for the most part, this is a decent processor, not weak by any means at all.
if you overclock it like I did the r9 280x won't have an bottleneck
