Only a Small Improvement On Some CPU Intense Workloads, Single Thread Performance Stagnant
“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...
Integrated graphics can handle most games at 1080p and medium settings, Unlocked for overclocking
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
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...

low overclocking ability
Tweet Value and conclusionAs you can see, AMD Kaveri is not the beast some might expect. Actually, in some cases, the Steamroller cores are a bit slower than the Piledriver we've seen in the A10-6800K, which runs at higher frequency. Also, there is the is...

We have seen some pretty lofty predictions on what kind of performance increase Battlefield 4 would receive from Mantle. On the discrete GPU side of things, if you are using an R9 290X with a slower CPU, you will probably see the best gains possible. For...

If you have been looking for how overclocking all three main components of a Kaveri APU system – CPU, GPU, and Memory – affects performance, here you go. We saw some nice performance increases across the board, ranging from 13% to 20%...

Update : This is a “pure CPU” overclocking article, and only looks at CPU performance – gaming tests are done with a dedicated video card. If you are wondering how Kaveri performs when overclocked fully – CPU at 4.7 GHz and GPU at 1020 MHz, check out this...
