AMD Kaveri FX-7600P Mobile APU Vs. ULV Haswell Benchmark mini-review

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/09/2014 09:39 AM | source: | 23 comment(s)

A little while ago specs on AMD's new mobile platform found its way onto the web. Basically the Kaveri APU linelup entails seven parts. Six quad cores APUS and one dual core APU. The leader of the pack is the FX-7600P and some benchmarks have reared. The lineup includes four ULV SKUs and three 35W parts. For the ULV segment the FX-7500 is a 19W quad-core clocked at 2.1/3.3GHz with 384 Radeon cores.

The R7 GPU is clocked at 496/553MHz and the APU supports DDR3 1600 memory. The A8-7100 is 19W part, quad-core clocked at 1.8GHz with an up to 3.0GHz Turbo. But next to the 17W/19W parts, AMD has also cooked up three mainstream 35W APUs.

The A8-7200P is clocked at 2.4/3.4GHz. It has R5 graphics with 256 shaders clocked at 553/626MHz. It supports DDR3 1866. The 10-7400P is slightyly faster at 2.5/3.4GHz, but it packs R6 graphics with 384 shaders clocked at 576/654MHz. Like its sibling it supports DDR 1866 memory.

Model	CPU-cores	clokfreq./ turbo	L2-cache	GPU	CU's/GPU-cores	GPU-clok/turbo	Max. DDR3	TDP
FX-7600P	4	2,7 / 3,6 GHz	4 MB	R7	8 / 512	600 / 686 MHz	2.133 MHz	35 watt
A10-7400P	4	2,5 / 3,4 GHz	4 MB	R6	6 / 384	576 / 654 MHz	1.866 MHz	35 watt
A8-7200P	4	2,4 / 3,3 GHz	4 MB	R5	4 / 256	553 / 626 MHz	1.866 MHz	35 watt
FX-7500	4	2,1 / 3,3 GHz	4 MB	R7	6 / 384	496 / 553 MHz	1.600 MHz	19 watt
A10-7300	4	1,9 / 3,2 GHz	4 MB	R6	6 / 384	464 / 533 MHz	1.600 MHz	19 watt
A8-7100	4	1,8 / 3 GHz	4 MB	R5	4 / 256	450 / 514 MHz	1.600 MHz	19 watt
A6-7000	2	2,2 / 3 GHz	1 MB	R4	3 / 192	494 / 533 MHz	1.600 MHz	17 watt

The Flagship FX-7600P then, it runs at 2.7GHz base and 3.6GHz turbo and features R7 graphics with 512 shaders processors. The GPU runs at 600/686MHz. Although the GPU clocks are somewhat lower than on desktop Kaveri APUs with all 512 shaders, the new FX appears to have the most powerful integrated GPU of any mobile part to date. It is also the only mobile Kaveri to support DDR3 2133 memory.

WCCFtech (check source link) has posted the first benchmark scores of this APU, and they are quite interesting, though both benchmarks are GPU assisted:

"Not only that but the very-much mainstream A10-7300 APU is comfortably ahead of the i7-4500U, i5-4200U and i3-4010U in terms of Gaming Performance. What it actually means is that APUs are finally exiting the territory of HTPC-only setups and entering the realm of true gaming power. While you would not be able to run any modern game at anywhere near the modern games, there should be quite a few games out there that run well at low-medium settings and considering the low power consumption. That is definitely a bargain."

AMD charts and all

yes, they can now they have abandoned the professional market lol.
exept the arm server nothing exiting in there.

4 cores, 512 shaders in a 35 W TDP, yes please

why so few cores and shaders and so high TDP...

we want more and less W

i plan to get new laptop

but may be waiting for this one and let's see is it better than i7-4500u

. This may be good i hope it faster and cooler

I think their FX series should have smaller GPUs and more cores. Ideally, it wouldn't have any GPU.

Gotta be $hitting me right?

This isn't something you wrote Hilbert or is it? I know it's a copied stuff off WCCFTech but still..Seriously? AMD charts and all

Well, I have an AMD A8-4500m and it runs League of Legends, WoW and Rust very well(two od them being the most played games on PC), so I guess this new APU will make an even better job.

Its "True gaming power" because 70% of the world computers use Intel HD GPU which is a POS, so yeah.. think about it next time..

BLEH!

35 W is not bad for a chip with discrete glass GPU, 4 cores and 2133 MHz memory controller. Not bad at all.
