Hey everyone,

I have a "gaming" PC for which I want to upgrade my CPU, because my current one is a clear bottleneck. I have and AMD Athlon x2 340 (3.2Ghz) with an AMD R7 250 (sapphire 2Gb edition). When I run games, my R7 stays at a constant 70% usage while my CPU is at a constant 100% (I tried several games before concluding these average figues with afterburner). I need an APU that I can crossfire with my GPU.

Anyway my motherboard has an FM2 or FM2+ socket. I think the best processor I can get with these sockets is the A10-7850K, but the AMD A8-7600 is about 45€ cheaper (being a student, this is very important to me -___-).

My Question: How much gaming performance difference is there between these two CPUs when I crossfire them, and will one of them bottleneck my GPU?

Thank you for any answer I get :)

They both have the same type and number of cores and cache. The A10 is 600Mhz faster at nominal clocks and 200Mhz faster at turbo. It also has 1/3 more GPU cores. The A10 also has an unlocked core multiplier for overclocking.

I would recommend against Crossfiring a CPU and GPU because it basically forces the GPU to slow down to the speed of the CPU and you end up with less than 2x the integrated performance all the all the graphical tearing issues you normally get with crossfire.

They don't have the same number of cores. The A10-7850k has 8 graphics cores, and the A8-7600 has 6 graphics cores.
Both have 4 cpu cores. The A10-7850k should be faster and overclockable. The A8-7600 is cheaper by $40-50 and puts out less heat. Both chips seem very nice for budget builds ($500 or less).

I would sell the r7 250 and get the 7850k since apu has low upgrade ability other than ram, you should get 4gb or 8gb 2133 or 2400 ram with it (depending on your budget) if you can't afford for new ram with 7850k, getting the a8 7600 with the ram is much better, you'll run all light games like league and cs go at max or near, and for higher end you can get 30 frames with 1080p or less but higher end also require the 8gb of ram
