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

I hope you realize that many, if not most laptop i7s are dual cores with HT
more cpu cores in a laptop is useless when it comes to gaming most laptops are limited to their crap gpus. whats the point of having a laptop with an i7 that costs double and no dedicated gpu when the amd offering will destroy it with its igp.

Not any more. The first gen were, about 4 years ago. Now they're mostly true quads, at least the 4700 series, with a mix of GT2 and GT3 graphics and a 50 % higher TDP than the AMD chips.

I've seen plenty of sandy bridge, ivy bridge, and haswell laptops with dual core i7s. I guess it depends how much you're willing to spend.

The lower end ones, certainly. You can pay some stupid money for laptops if you want to.
