What are the Kaveri APUs comparable to?

Derppppp · Nov 18, 2013

What Intel CPU do you think the new Kaveri APUs which people are calling the, "A10-7850K," be comparable to?

das_stig · Nov 18, 2013

Mid point i5, but far superior GPU.

gman97005 · Nov 18, 2013

When it's all said and done and HSA has been enabled and fully functional the Kaveri will outperform the i7-4670k, easily..

das_stig · Nov 18, 2013

I'll believe it when I see it !

Derppppp · Nov 18, 2013

gman97005 :

Lol what?
I'm planning on getting my friend a budget build with a Kaveri APU and then crossfire!
i5 4670k, really?
I'm getting the i7 4770k so I guess AMD are more focused on the lower end market.

Will an APU crossfire with a discrete graphics card be better spec'd than a PS4?

gman97005 :

You need to provide evidence that supports that statement if you want to be taken seriously.

gman97005 · Nov 18, 2013

jaguarskx :

The evidence will provide itself in due time, it's not there yet but all of Kaveri's dirty little secrets have not been enabled yet..

Derppppp :

Not at the moment, unfortunately.

JOOK-D · Nov 18, 2013

Wait for benches. Not that much point in speculation.

It should be up to 15% faster than the A10-6800k in CPU benchmarks, and the GPU will be about 30-40% better than the A10-6800k.

jaguarskx · Nov 18, 2013

gman97005 :

That can be said about anything.

I can say in due time the average human lifespan will be 150 years.

If you do not have evidence that can backup your statement you will not be taken seriously.

Derppppp :

low end i5 performance gpu end 7750 ddr3 + mantle should be a boost seen a few rumours of a mantle patch for bf4 to improve frames so far its been shown on a medium scale at 30 frames with a gpu 7750 or r7 as its been rebranded i assume well see it crossfired with 7730 or 7750 i really doubt 7790 but possibly 7770 as well until i see more evidence i cant speculate hsa performance

I really hope they cost like $500 for a long time because I now feel like I wasted money on a fx 6300

jaguarskx · Nov 18, 2013

The FX-6300 is a good CPU for the price.

You need to live with the fact that sooner or later technology moves forward. Whatever you buy will be replaced by something that is hopefully better.

THSNOTLEK · Nov 18, 2013

Lol yeah but I just got it

jaguarskx · Nov 18, 2013

Well, if you are still within the return period you can return the CPU and the mobo. You can then buy a Richland APU and a socket FM2+ mobo.

Additionally, it has been no secret that Kaveri is coming out next year. There is even a stickied thread about Steamroller.

THSNOTLEK · Nov 18, 2013

Eh oh well if it's as good as a i5 it's going to be more than a 8000 series most likely.
