GeIL EVO Potenza 8GB DDR3 2133MHz RAM ($80): While the price of memory is still above what we're comfortable with, I was able to find 8GB of 2133MHz RAM for a good price. Even if you do not plan on overclocking, purchasing this cooler should allow the A10-7850K to operate more efficiently at lower temps and will preserve its life in the long-run. The Silverstone Argon AR01 is on sale for $30 and is one of the best budget coolers we have tested. Since this is an AMD processor that loves to be overclocked, we strongly suggest you pick up an aftermarket heatsink. The extra 896 Stream Processors paired with the A10-7850k should give you a very capable gaming rig that's able to play most games out at medium/high settings, minus a few more demanding games like Crysis 3 or Metro 2033. If you want to check out Dual Graphics when it's up and running (not quite ready yet) and have a little extra to spend, pick up this XFX R7 260x for $130 extra.

Plus, Newegg is giving away Battlefield 4 free with the purchase of the A10-7850K, which doesn't hurt if you can deal with the bugs.

Basically, for under $200 you get a CPU and GPU in a single chip that will run most AAA games (think: Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider) at a medium-low hybrid setting with 1080 resolution lower fidelity games will obviously run significantly better (think: CS:GO). This is largely due to the significantly larger portion o f the die allocated to the GPU in APUs.īased on AMD's R7 graphics, you get eight compute cores and 512 shaders at 720 MHz. There is no doubt that AMD's integrated graphics solutions - regardless of where they stand in CPU performance - blow away Intel's IGPs. Kaveri is said to offer a thirty percent increase in graphics performance over Richland, and fifty percent increase over Haswell. The A10-7850K's biggest selling feature is in the IGP. Similarly, as with all APUs, because there is no on-card GDDR5 memory, faster system RAM will yield better performance from the IGP. This should allow the APU to operate more efficiently and even lower the costs of developing accelerated applications (by reducing the need for explicit copy/export functions in the software). The third gain is in hUMA, or heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access, which allows the CPU and GPU to utilize the same system memory through a shared memory architecture. HSA is also the foundation of new render queuing techniques, namely those that allow the APU's GPU component to coordinate task execution with a discrete GPU. This should allow the CPU to work more efficiently, and has great potential. With HSA, GPU cycles that are not delivering visual effects are used by the CPU to assist in workloads. The best way to describe HSA is by first explaining that AMD has almost half of the APU die being used by the IGP (40%+). The next major advancement is with HSA, or Heterogeneous System Architecture.

The chip is still being outperformed by Intel in the mid-range markets, but AMD's APUs are pretty impressive in the affordable and low-end market segments. AMD claims a 20% gain in CPU performance over last generation, and while it is still a little early to say for sure, these claims seem to be validated by a noticeable gain in single core performance. AMD has a different definition of a CPU core than Intel (neither is really 'wrong'), and so this chip is classified as a quad-core CPU. The A10-7850K has 2xDual-Core Steamroller modules. There are so many new additions to Kaveri that we can't dig into them all here, but in general, the three big gains are in the Steamroller architecture, HSA (heterogeneous system architecture), and hUMA (unified memory access). As we reported in our CES 2014 AMD Press Conference article, AMD is boasting that Kaveri is the future of not only AMD gaming processors, but the future of gaming in general. OS & Recommended Extras Add-on Parts ListĪMD A10-7850K Kaveri APU ($190): AMD has definitively put their focus on their APUs going forward, and this chip goes to show it was not done in vain.
