Only a Small Improvement On Some CPU Intense Workloads
Single Thread Performance Stagnant
Much higher TDP than comparable Intel CPUs
Fastest possible RAM required for best gaming performance
CPU performance still lags behind the competition
HSA support currently limited
Total CPU performance isn't dramatically better than the chip it replaces. Intel cores still offer better CPU performance for the money
The Kaveri brings about a few innovations and technologies like hardware HSA support, but most of them offer no real benefits right now. Promoting the Kaveri series to the desktop market, AMD puts an emphasis on several things such as the Steamroller ...
Now that we have put the A10-7850K through all of our benchmarks we finally have an idea of where it stands. AMD has done a great job of improving on the already good performance of their APUs when it comes to the integrated graphics. Even better, they a...

Abstract: AMD have focused heavily on their lower end market in recent years. Intel has left a large gap in the market for consumers seeking lower end processors for a reasonable price, and AMD has now excelled in that area with its range of APUs.We first saw the A...

I have been a fan of both AMD and Intel for years. Each has their strengths and weaknesses.AMD has shifted focus from a pure performance standpoint to an overall system experience with the new APU line up. AMD continues to make strides in their processors...

“Kaveri” is the codename for AMD's newest version of their A-Series processors. This update brings two A10 series SKUs that are both unlocked. We tested the A10-7850K, which has an updated graphics core based on the “Hawaii” GPU. What this means is we h...

AMD’s latest high-end APU is a serviceable option for budget-strapped gamers, but many of its new hardware features rely on software that just isn’t ready yet—and similarly priced Intel chips hold a strong lead on CPU performance and power efficiency...
Abstract: Catalyst 14.1 Beta was released, but wasn't quite ready for prime time. Catalyst 14.2 Beta is better. You can download the Beta drivers from AMD's website now and I'm going to tell you why you should. I've tested the Catalyst 14.2 Beta drivers and the per...
If you take away a high-end gaming rig from your mindset and understand what AMD is bringing to the table with Kaveri, then you should be impressed. It is a rather bold move for AMD to focus more on the IGP side of things rather then CPU performance. I p...

Abstract: Although the Steamroller cores in AMD's Kaveri-based A8-7600 APU brought a notable boost in CPU efficiency, it felt like the company was mostly focused on gaming performance with last month's update. The A8-7600 wasn't much faster than last year's A10-680...
Potentially very interesting, and pretty good on sans discrete GPU, but if youre pairing it with a graphics card there are much better options out there...
