Thinking about building a budget gaming computer they got from AMD
a new and interesting option – A10-7870K processor. That’s right, no
You will find in the middle of having to compete with Intel Core Zen,
or you do not get to energy efficiency at the level of those
promised for the second half of the year Carizzo chips. You will get a
This is one chip with integrated graphics, where you can play
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive of more than 60 frames per second
FullHD resolution. Let’s take a closer look a gem that
It raised the possibility of integrated graphics to a level yet
recently reserved for independent graphics cards.
The appearance of the chip in such numbering had many by surprise,
we expected to have processors with “an eight” at the beginning
number of models, the
Godavari, Kaveri successors lines shown during
this year’s CES. We got a new processor is still
Kaveri, just a little refreshed, upgraded version of the flagship
So far A10-7850K.
Made in the 28 nm fit into a standard wall outlet
FM2 + system A10-7870K, from the CPU practically contributes nothing.
We get four Steamroller cores with 4MB of L2 cache and
dual-channel DDR3-2133 memory controller. Overclocked only
clocks, from 3.7 GHz to 3.9 GHz (and from 4.0 GHz to 4.1 GHz mode
Turbo). The difference in performance will, however remote, first
tests say about 3-5% better results in benchmarks.
The GPU is the same as in the previous model, the eight units
computing Radeon R7. However, they failed to turn up significantly
timing, from 720 MHz to 866 MHz. In this way, the AMD has in its
portfolio of the most efficient integrated graphics on the market, which is
able to ensure smooth gameplay in recent games even in
FullHD resolution and high detail settings.
The games test results confirm this: StarCraft II -
35 FPS 5v5 League of Legends – 89 FPS, DOTA 2 – 49 FPS and
said CS: GO – 62 FPS. What is particularly important, although
turn up the clock, maintained the same TDP as the A10-7850K, ie.
95 W. Even better results for games should get written under the
Mantle API, DirectX 12 and Vulkan.
Of course, these results will depend used in
computer memory, because it is the RAM, used
by integrated graphics as VRAM, there is a bottleneck.
Dirt Rally racer with a single memory clocked ankle
1600MHz is able to get in FullHD only frustrating 20 FPS.
Using two bones (Dual Channel) clocked at 1866 MHz get
However, 36 FPS. Interestingly, this is probably the best choice, because
reaching for the fastest two bones 2400 MHz does not give them such a
increase productivity, get 40 FPS with them.
AMD claims that their new APU wins with Intel Core i3
zestawionym with independent NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 – and results
benchmarks confirm this. Great pride is not, GT
740 is a card with the weakest green cards, but not in this thing.
Consider the question of the profitability of such a solution.
The Reds have valued their new APUs officially at $ 137, but
if you want to buy them now, you Newegg
pay $ 150, or approx. 570 zł. For this inexpensive doliczmy
FM2 + motherboard, for example. ASRock FM2A58M in the price of approx. 160 zł and two
Cube 4 GB RAM 1866 MHz (eg. Polish Goodram DDR3 Play) for approx. 310
zł. Altogether it is costing us a set of 1040 zł, and as someone
stubborn, it’s come down with the price below $ 1,000.
And as is the case with this set of competitors? Behind the cheapest
haswellowe Core i3 (4130) will cost approx. 500 zł. Tania motherboard
with socket 1150 for example. ASRock H81M costs approx. 160 zł. The cheapest
GeForce GT 740 with 1 GB of RAM from Palit is approx. 320 zł. To this
RAM, may be weaker than in the set of AMD (eg. For 1600 MHz), let’s count
his 250 zł. The total price of the kit – a minimum of 1230 zł.
As you can see, for a player with a snake in his pocket, the new AMD APU
a really attractive offer – at least 20% lower
at the expense can build a gaming PC that will average 25%
more efficient in games. Prices and performance but do not give full
the image of the case. It must be remembered that the new Kaveri supports open solution FreeSync,
whereby on the monitors are compatible with the image will be
noticeably smoother, there will be a tearing by
desynchronized layout and screen. Such monitors are
much cheaper (even for a few hundred dollars) monitors
serving similar proprietary solution G-Sync
Nvidia. It should also be noted that a computer with APU will also be quieter in one wentylatorek on two APU is not on the CPU and GPU.
Soon we will show you in practice, such as APU works
as domestic gaming machine. In Polish stores these chips
is not yet, but they should appear in a few days.
