Great Graphics Performance
Improved Power Efficiency
Small CPU Performance Improvements
GCN and TrueAudio In An APU
Best-in-class GPU performance. Much-improved CPU performance. Future support for HSA applications and the Mantle graphics API should further improve performance.
Much better integrated-graphics performance than comparable Intel chips
CPU performance similar to that of previous-generation A10
While sipping a third less power
Kaveri's efficiency gains make it a wise choice over Richland while AMD's powerful integrated graphics and affordable pricing are enough to counter Intel's faster CPUs.
The editors didn't like
Four AMD Cores Not Always As Fast As Two Intel Cores
A8-7600 Not Yet Available
New Socket
Performance still lags far behind that of Intel chips
Comparably priced Intel Core i3 is faster in most typical CPU workloads
Fast RAM required for best gaming performance
HSA support currently limited
Relatively weak speed gains overall with a 10% clockforclock performance bump over Richland
While the older part actually came out on top more than we expected.
Abstract: AMD today introduced the new AMD A10-7800 and A8-7600 Accelerated Processing Units (APU) to the component channel. These processors are part of AMD's 4th Generation of APU's that are code named Kaveri. Kaveri is AMD's first processor that utilizes the Het...
The Kaveri A8-7600 with Radeon R7 on-die graphics is supposed to offer an attractive all-in-one solution for mainstream users. At $119 it is relatively affordable and it makes a lot of sense for casual gamers or home users. Sadly though, the A8-7600 is st...

This midrange CPU/GPU delivers very good integrated graphics performance, and improved CPU performance, at a more reasonable price and power level than its A10-7850K "Kaveri" counterpart. It’s a good choice for budget gaming PCs, though comparable In...
Kaveri is another incremental improvement to AMD's mainstream desktop lineup. Efficiency is the watchword, both in terms of CPU clock cycles and power consumption. The A8-7600, despite having a modest clock speed of 3.1 or 3.3 GHz (depend on the TDP s...
Subjective impressions and conclusions As I said on the previous page, Battlefield 4's Mantle renderer is kind of a double-edged sword. That's true on Kaveri much as it is on the high-end, R9 290X-powerd system that Scott tested. The renderer's effect, in...
As the benchmarks have shown, AMD are still way off when it comes to CPU specific tasks. However, Kaveri was never really meant to compete with Intel's i5 or i7 processors and was aimed more at the casual gamer. In terms of gaming performance, Kaveri sho...

Abstract: We've spent the days following CES benchmarking two of AMD's new Kaveri-based APUs. Do the Steamroller x86 architecture, GCN graphics design, and HSA-oriented features impress, or do they come up short against Intel's value-oriented Haswell-based parts? ...
AMD's new Kaveri APU is an impressive feat of engineering, coming in as the very first truly HSA-compatible processor. There are a lot of changes for AMD with this release including a new processor core, a new memory hierarchy, as well as a new process t...
