I wanted to upgrade my ASUS K53TA Laptop with a little beefier CPU than the A6-3400M that it came with. After some extensive research I found that the A8 -3520M was the safest upgrade I could install, due to BIOS limitations and TDP. It was easy to install, and it worked after only the second boot. (I think the graphics driver crashed out of the gate, but recovered after second boot). The 200 MHz boost is negligible, but it does help a little.

This processor has blown me away in performance, it can run and play Grand Theft Auto V, which is probably the most computer crippling game at the moment. It can also run Battlefield 4 decently (another pc crippling game) and not to mention you can overclock this puppy to 2.4GHz. The PC i put this processor is the Gateway NV55S17u and it is the most powerful laptop i own now. Like i said, this processor blew me away because i had no idea what it was capable of.

Replaced my AMD A4-3300M in my HP Pavilion G7 laptop, socket FS1, with this unit. Extremely satisfied, really brought back my computer with the substantial performance difference. Excellent fit, great performance (comparatively for what it is), Would purchase again if needed.

I replaced my old amd 3305m, and it is ok! BUT, my laptop hp g4 -370la was unable to use the 4 cores of the processor,so, i just can use 3 :( even after that, performance in games and programs is great.

Installation was (as with all laptops) painfully tedious, but nothing went wrong. Just slotted it in and reassembled, graphics drivers auto-installed by Windows, everything just worked with no BIOS fiddling. No problems with temperature or instability. Gave my older laptop some more life as a dev machine. Also, gaming is almost twice as fast as with the old 3300M.

ASUS A53Z, MOTERBOARD QBL60 LA-7552P rev 1.0, came with A4-3305m. Swoped to this CPU, worked instantly. No owerheating promlems so far. Simple, but sufficient packaging. Will shop again here

I upgraded my Pavilion g4 with a SSD 3D 1TB drive, upgraded memory from 8GB to 16GB of RAM, upgraded the processor to the A8-3520M, and added a BT 5 USB dongle. It has brought new life to a 9 yr. old laptop to allow me to extend it's use for a bit longer. All of the upgrades came in under $200. Great upgrade from an A4-3300M processor. Faster, better performance with the memory and display. The processor has 4 cores compared to the two cores of the A4-3300M, and 4MB of L2 cache compared with the 2MB of L2 cache of the A4-3300M. So, all in all, it's performance is much better.

My 15-yr-old son just upgraded his Asus K53ZRF-BBR3 Laptop, swapping the AMD A4-3305M Dual-Core 1.9GHz processor for the A8-3520M 1.6 GHz Quad-Core. The A8-3520M is the fastest socket FS1 processor with the same 35 watt TDP rating as the A4 (the other, faster FS1 processors are 45 watt TDP and run hotter). We tried this after reading about a successful swap by Titanstats. Before the swap, he could only play Skyrim on the lowest settings (medium setting was laggy). After the swap, he could play on the highest setting with no lag observed on his test run. He did not have to upgrade his BIOS, but he did end up downloading a new video driver (laptop did that automatically)
I rated 5 stars because I know this can work on my HP Pavilion G6 1c45dx but didn't install due to corrupted files in my Hard Disk from preventing installation. Replacing the HD will get it to work. :)

Great low price 4 core processor. Has given my old Asus K43 laptop a new lease of life. Fitted alongside a SSD upgrade and it now performs as good as most new budget laptops for a fraction of the price.
