AMD's FX-9800P (Excavator) APU edges out the Core i7 in laptop benchmarks

[Djole123]

As we all know, Zen is soon coming out and promises some good performance. So, AMD put two mobile CPU's (FX 9800P and i7 6500U) to the test, and, suprisingly, the FX APU edged out the i7 in Dota 2 by around 5-10 FPS. Amazing!

 

Here's one screenshot from a random moment:

 

If this is true, AMD could easily have a lead in laptop market.

 

Note that these are both APU's with no dedicated graphics.

But how much power and heat are consumed/produced by each?  In a laptop chip, that is a very legitimate and important question.

that's not Zen

and AMDs APU solutions have been superior for quite some time

Both chips consume 15W.

There comparing igpu's. Nothing much has changed. The cpu is still much worse than the one in the intel. They still pull more power.

The FX-9800P is an excavator-based CPU (4th gen Bulldozer), not Zen.

Is that actual test data or just what they say on the spec sheet?

no they haven't been.

[ChrisCross]

wow. because one random moment is enough to represent performance... 

 

just wait for REAL benchmarks.

Spec sheet, but that may vary when and if they turbo boost.

I believe they have with the very exception of Iris Pro graphics which uses EDRAM which is like cheating or something...

[Darel321]

thats actualy rly bad.... it should run better but I guess they need to lower the heat somehow...

it's a 15W CPU/GPU combo, what'd you expect?

I have edited the title. This CPU is not Zen.

exactly. Ever since Iris Pro AMD was left behind. Just because this graphics oriented chip beats Intel's CPU oriented chip doesn't mean much.

oh you wait for the Zen APU with onboard HBM then...

Zen could easily do it. This isn't Zen, we haven't seen what Zen can do.

 

 

We haven't seen what Intel will respond to Zen with either.

you're shitting me 

 

Radeon Group with a history in dGPUs for 3 decades, edges out a company that has little to no history in discrete graphics

and we're talking 30-40FPS

They are comparing it against an ULV i7.

Come on AMD, I doubt the Excavator APU would compete with an ULV chip in terms of power draw. The i7 in question has  TDP of 15W (7.5-25).

Nvm.

it probably can compete in power draw. performance though...

This FX-9800P also draws 15W. You played yourself.

Oh, then it's ok. I didn't know. It makes sense now.

I said they both consume 15W

as @Darel321 said, pathetic

well it's not pathetic.. I said that because I know it can run much better.. but sadly it would melt the laptop xD.. intel its pathetic... they got millions more to spend on their cpu gpu etc... and still amd with their shity apu beat them
