AMD A8-7600 Kaveri APU Review > Synthetic Benchmarks

Synthetic Benchmarks

The CPU side of things looks to have been greatly improved. The 65W A8-7600 managed a multi-threaded score of 3.38pts and while that's 5% backside the A10-6800K (which was using faster memory), it'south worth noting that the A8-7600 is also clocked 14% lower, 20% without Turbo frequency.

The kickoff synthetic GPU test indicated that efficiency has also been improved, though overall performance is notwithstanding like to the A10-6800K. Notwithstanding, while the GPU on the older A10-6800K operates at 844MHz the A8-7600's R7 GPU is clocked 15% lower.

Reducing the A8-7600's CPU clock speed hurt the GPU'due south 3DMark GPU, but even then it was however 6% faster than the Core i5-4430. It'south interesting that a xiii% reduction in CPU clock speed cut GPU performance past half dozen% because the A8-7600'due south CPU is clocked sixteen% slower than the A10-6800K yet it still produced a slightly higher 3D score.

This time the A8-7600 was 8% slower than the A10-6800K, but over again it's too clocked xvi% lower and CPU speed does play a major role in shaping the 3DMark 06 score. Reducing the TDP rating from 65W to 45W merely reduced the A8-7600's score by 4%.

PCMark 7 measures overall organization functioning and the AMD A8-7600 scores very well compared to past APUs. Irresolute from 65W to 45W didn't seem to accept any bear upon on the score, surprisingly. Despite being clocked much lower the A8-7600 was slightly faster than the A10-6800K in this test.

After performing exceptionally well in PCMark 7, the AMD A8-7600 slipped in PCMark 8's home suite. It was the slowest APU tested -- 14% slower than the A10-6800K. Because previous AMD APUs have dominated this test nosotros were very surprised that the A8-7600 came last.

With its poor results in PCMark viii's home suite, information technology's all the more surprising that the A8-7600's dominated the creative suite with a score of 3569pts, 10% faster than the college clocked A0-6800K and 17% faster than the Cadre i5-4430.

The A8-7600 was only able to match the A10-5800K and A10-6800K (DDR3-1600) in PCMark'southward work suite, making it considerably slower than the Intel Core i3 and Cadre i5 processors.
