I told you the A8 7600 would be the pick of the range!!

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

What are they meant for?

They are laptop and general purpose CPUs.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

They're no more laptop than any other chip has been laptop for the last few years?

Compared to the AMD FX line they are!

BF4 unplayable at 1080p on the A8-7600 even at lowest settings ;

Hopefully Mantle will sort that, especially with BF4 supposedly being shipped with the A10 APUs

TR seems to get much better framerates though:

They test at medium settings so the Bit-tech results look a bit low,as they are using low settings.

Look at the frame latencies though.

Moreover,drop the resolution down to 1680X1050,and it should be playable.
