The best comments and analysis I have read about AMD Richland is by UK hardware:
In a nutshell, the Richland is a minor improvement over Trinity. The lack of CPU power compared to Llano has been made up for, and the GPU is faster, but we find it difficult to understand that AMD didn't introduce these processors in a more discrete matter. And with both Llano and Trinity models still available, it doesn't make it easier for the consumer.
Perhaps we can lend a helping hand. There is little reason right now to buy a high-end FM2 processor instead of a cheaper Intel Core i3 (which performs the same or better) or a more expensive Core i5. It's true that the GPU in Richland processors is faster than Intel's processors, but that doesn't mean you can play games in Full HD with Richland, unless you significantly decrease the settings or even the resolution. The frames per second are still just too low.
There are two scenarios where AMD has an edge, and the A10-6800K is a better choice than a Core i3. If you play older games or don't mind lowering the resolution and you don't have the option of a separate graphics card, then it's a good option. Secondly, if you use applications that are optimized for OpenCL, such as PowerDirector, you could also benefit. The more software that comes out supporting OpenCL acceleration, the more appealing AMD's line-up becomes. If this doesn't apply to you, then Intel's CPU is better due to a faster CPU and lower power usage.
You can say the same about Richland's integrated GPU as Haswell's, the level of performance has definitely increased, but unless you make significant concessions with quality and resolution, you won't have a smooth gaming experience. It does make Richland suitable for mobile devices that don't always have Full HD displays. We're therefore interested to test the first Richland laptops.
And then the pricing. With a price that's low enough, AMD's APUs could become very interesting. Currently the A10-6800K costs about 150 euros, and that's too much to be relevant. The recommended retail price is 149 dollars, which likely means 149 euros for the European market. The A10-5800K is about 30 euros cheaper, so we expect Richland to go down as well.
With a price that's on the level of Core i3 processors, AMD has very interesting alternative. You lose a little CPU power compared to Intel, along with QuickSync, but you gain GPU performance and potentially better performance in GPGPU software. This could change with the arrival of Core i3 Haswell processors, however.
By that time AMD should have the real successor for Trinity, called Kavery. It should bring with it the next step towards a 'Heterogynous System Architecture' (or HSA), with systems resources being completely shared between the CPU and GPU. It will be interesting to see how AMD and Intel compare at that point. Right now, it's difficult to recommend Richland without reservations for desktops. For laptops, it could potentially be a very interesting CPU.
