Processor Series 
This is the name the manufacturer gives to a series of CPUs using the same technology. You will want to make sure your chosen CPU matches the type your motherboard is designed to accept.
AMD A Series
A-Series Quad-Core A8
FX-Series Quad-Core FX-4170
FX-Series Quad-Core FX-4170
Processor Speed 
Processor speed indicates how quickly the CPU can perform calculations. Higher speeds allow for faster calculations, meaning less wait time.
3.9 GHz
3.8 GHz
3.7 GHz
3.4 GHz
Number of Cores 
Many modern CPUs have multiple cores. The number of cores is the number of processors that make up the CPU. Having more cores allows the CPU to perform more calculations at once, meaning less wait time.

CPU Socket Type 
The socket type is the kind of connection used to mount the CPU to the motherboard. Intel and AMD each make their own types of sockets. You will want to make sure your new CPU socket type matches that of your chosen motherboard.
AMD A10-7800 processor redefines the game for PCs by revolutionizing the accelerated desktop processor that combines the power of a multicore CPU with AMD Radeon graphics all in one energy-efficient chip. It is the first APU with H.S.A. (Hetrogenous Systems Architecture which defines how the 4 compute cores interact with the 8 graphics cores. This APU also is Mantle capable, improving it's console-like optimizations & Uses FM2+ socket
What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
I bough the A10-7800 to replace the A10-5700 that was previously in my HTPC. I wanted something that would retain the low power profile of the previous CPU (< 65W) while increasing graphics performance for the occasional Steam light gaming session. What I can say is that the A10-7800 is pretty much what I was looking for.
My setup is as follows:
AMD A10-7800 at 65W TDP Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B ASRock FM2-A88X-ITX+ 8GB Samsung Green RAM at 1866 Samsung 840 Evo 250GB mSATA SSD Silverstone ST30SF 300W PSU Lian Li PC-Q01A mITX Case
I ran before and after benchmarks to compare the A10-5700 to the A10-7800, and results were interesting. Heaven showed a 23.5% increase in GPU power, Cinebench R15 gave a 10% increase in GPU power, but a 10% decrease in CPU power (could have been a margin of error), and 3DMark gave an incredible 57% increase in overall performance! I take synthetic benchmarks with a grain of salt, but it's obvious that the iGPU is MUCH more powerful in the A10-7800 relative to the A10-5700, which is exactly what I was after in the first place.
The next test will be to try cranking the RAM up to 2133 and retesting, but I'll save that for another day.
What I can definitively say, though, is that this CPU is a pretty decent upgrade over a 1st gen FM2 CPU if what you need is low power consumption, low heat output, enough CPU performance to do typical HTPC tasks, and one of the best iGPU's on the market. You won't be playing Battlefield 4 or Metro: Last Light at 1080p with maxed settings, but if all you do is lightweight, low power gaming, this is the CPU you need.
