AMD A8-7600
The A8-7600 is part of AMD's brand new range of APUs, codenamed 'Kaveri'. As the successor to last year's Richland APUs, Kaveri includes new CPU cores based on AMD's 'Steamroller' architecture, plus a Radeon R7 series GPU integrated onto the die, four x86-64 cores clocked as high as 3.7 GHz, pushing up to 4 GHz as part of the APU's Turbo mode.

AMD really is focused on gaming performance with Kaveri and believes this is where its latest APUs have a serious advantage over the competition. The company's latest processors are being pushed as budget solutions for modern 1080p gaming, though on paper the Radeon R7 doesn't look quite up to the task...

Although our news team covered AMD's latest APUs last week, we're a bit behind on the review. The chipmaker couldn't deliver our Kaveri kit until a few days after the official launch date, so we have a case of better late than never. On the bright side,...

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...

The new AMD A8-7600 offers best-in-class GPU performance and much-improved CPU performance in the 45W power envelope. Future support for HSA applications and the Mantle graphics API should further improve the chip's...

Kaveri ultimately paves the way for small, cheap computers that make fewer concessions than ever before, though, on a cautionary note, be aware it will be a while before HSA-optimised programs and the much-vaunted Mantle API add the expected lustre to AMD's newest family of APUs.

The AMD A8-7600 APU’s performance is somewhat of a mixed bag. Please keep in mind, however, that this APU is actually the low-end model in AMD’s initial Kaveri-based APU line-up. The A8-7600’s CPU cores are clocked lower than other models and its GPU ...

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...

At idle, and at the same 45 watt specification, the Kaveri APU draws the same amount of power as the two Richland parts. The Core i3-4330, though obviously on a very different platform, is a few watts under that.Our first load power consumption test c...

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...

Has an exciting new architecture and great graphics performance, but current real-world performance is same as the A10-6800K

With OpenCL 2.0 still in its infancy, HSA features inaccessible in the current driver stack, legacy instruction sets still prevalent in today's software and the glacial speed of GPU accelerated application development, there’s very little reason to spend the extra money for an “unlocked” 95W APU. Especially when a significantly less expensive 65W model can offer just as much, if not more.

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...
