Does anyone know, that if you use a separate GPU card and turn off the integrated graphics. That you can make the A10 7850k Run 12 cores and since the extra 8 cores are GPU cores it runs even faster than the Intel 4770k. Since the 7850k has HUMA core technology. In theory buying a separate GPU card and shutting off the Integrated graphics puts it at 12 cores using in compute 4 physically cores combined with 8 GPU cores. GPU cores are faster. https://www.facebook.com/computergurutylersosnowski/

everybody's absolutely forgetting that its not a CPU its not dedicated. It is created to provide the best of both worlds not to just boost and absolutely go insane just on processing power but to also combine a lot of GPU replacement in order to get you a easy and good experience. also Intel integrated graphics have absolute nothing on a AMD APU
