Some big performance gains in the games tested!!

wow, nice find. i need to retest mine. see if discrete GPU's have the same gain.

Really impressive, 20-40% improvement!

Cool, cant wait to get my hands on to this APU

 

[stulid]

Guess I need to set the system back up and have another play.

 

[rare]

Would be great if there was an apu with 270 performance.

 

[Jumper118]

Im not getting an apu till summer. Will probably be getting a 7850K as well as a dual core apu, a 5800k or 6800k and an 750k or 760k for a bit of comparison and ocing. Once im done im going to make it into a htpc and nas, selling the apus/cpus that i wont use.

Would be really interested to see if the bios updates have given a more significant boost to crossfire setups, would love it if a 7850k and an R7 250 gave the performance in crossfire to match an R9 270... that would make it a really killer Steam gaming platform.

-edit- Or more realistically get somewhere close to...

Anyone got any ideas when we might see the A8-7600? I know that the answer is probably going to be no, but I'm getting impatient!

 

[Grimley]

Yeah, so am I. I've put together a rig just for that purpose. It's currently got a Trinity chip in it at the moment. I want the release date before Easter, so I can order the parts, put the bits in & soak test it over the Easter weekend.

I've got my custom Streacom F1C water-cooled and ready, just need this CPU and then a mobo.

i would have gone for one of these if it matched a 270, disappointing really as I do like the sound of these. Looks like i'm going for a 8320 + 270 instead now.

Strangely,it uses Intel cooler mountings.

Not a single PCIe slot either

Have AMD announced when Kaveri is coming to laptops?
Wouldn't mind going back to a laptop, but would want it to be able to play the odd game. Was quite happy with how my last Trinity set-up coped, so would be looking to go AMD again.

AMD Mobile Kaveri APU Confirmed – 4 CPU Cores with a Steamroller – Excavator Hybrid Architecture

Read more: http://wccftech.com/amd-mobile-kave...excavator-hybrid-architectures/#ixzz32AtyKXdJ

A couple of days back we leaked the entire lineup of the Mobile Kaveri Series and the Dedicated Crystal GPU Series. Well AMD has just confirmed the same in the APU 14 Conference along with some very interesting points. It turns out that the new Kaveri will actually be based on a ‘revolutionary’ hybrid architecture, namely a combination of the Steamroller and Excavator Architecture.

 

[Medoway]

Still waiting

Do we have any news on the a8-7600 release date other than "June, maybe, no confirmation..."?

Still waiting on finishing my first AMD rig - my HTPC design can really use the lower TDP to keep niiiiice and quiet

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Its taken a while but the A8 7600 is now available at between £70 to £75.

It appears a new budget FM2+ mini-ITX motherboard has appeared too - the ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ for around £60.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

That pricing is more like it!
