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.

In a vacuum where all that's available are other AMD parts, Kaveri and its Steamroller cores actually look pretty good. At identical frequencies there's a healthy increase in IPC, and AMD has worked very hard to move its Bulldozer family down to a substan...
AMD's Kaveri APU raises the bar for integrated graphics performance, which is sort of what we expected. What did you think would happen when AMD built a processor infused with GCN-class Radeon hardware? To be honest, I didn't expect something that plays ...
Alright lets wrap things up. I profoundly like the new Kaveri architecture, it is the first true native heterogeneous APU architecture that will set the path into the future. With it's well over 2 Billion transistors it isn't even a cheap chip to produce...

With that said, the A8-7600 is a decent performer overall. Its Steamroller-based CPU cores do not do much to make up ground versus Intel's processors, so in the more CPU-bound workloads, Intel's dual-core Core i3-4330 is competes favorably to AMD's quad-c...
Abstract: AMD’s Kaveri is finally here and we look at the A10-7850K & A8-7600. With IPC improvements, Steamroller x86 cores and a GCN-based graphics processor, this may be the one we’ve been waiting for....
Abstract: That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two to...
Abstract: If you follow our website and the technology industry more broadly then you may have heard a lot about Kaveri since it was officially launched on January 14th 2014. Kaveri is the codename for AMD's fourth generation of desktop APU (Accelerated Processing ...
Upgraded quadcore CPU, Bestinclass IGP performance, 45/65W TDP ideal for compact systems, Primed for generalpurpose compute
HSAoptimised programs thin on the ground, CPU core performance not a match for Intel, Requires new FM2motherboard
AMD has modernised the desktop APU by enhancing the CPU cores and adding, finally, the GCN architecture to the graphics. The upshot of this overhaul is a chip that touts an extra billion transistors over the incumbent. Codenamed Kaveri, the £90 A8-7600 o...
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? ...
Judging the success of Kaveri is difficult for a number of reasons. For starters, AMD has yet to supply us with its faster A10 products, and when it comes to the A8-7600 it's not available yet and has no confirmed UK pricing. Nevertheless, there are still...
