by Shawn-Baker (Jul, 2014)Pairing it with something like the R9 280X and a 1920x1080 monitor will make for a really awesome gaming system that will offer strong performance and won't break the bank.
![]() | More threads 4 | ![]() | Much better turbo clock speed 1,150 MHz |
by PCMag (Mar, 2015)AMD's APUs like the AMD A8-7600 take the opposite course, with good 3D performance at the expense of multimedia and everyday productivity.
