Overall, I found that the AMD A10-7870K proved to be an excellent value product, offering exceptional integrated graphics and decent CPU performance at a very fair price.

The initial launch in January also featured another part that never became available until now; the A8-7600 was supposed to be available some months ago, but is only making it to market now.

Its weakness is certainly that of only having one module active, and that module only having ½ the L2 cache enabled.

We should expect some decent IPC gains from the new cores and the additional core count will ofcourse help overall compute.

Now if you take a look at the logo you will notice that it says “Elite Hexa Core”, which means that Carrizo APU has 6 cores and considering the TDP (95W) and core clock of 4.4 Ghz thats pretty damn impressive.

We also must consider that the APU is the first fully compliant HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) chip, and it handles memory accesses much more efficiently than standalone GPUs.

The mixed mode OpenCL results make a nice case for improving overall performance in such a system.
