First Kaveri APU Benchmarks Surface.

[TechFan@ic]

The clock speeds were normalized to 3.5Ghz for both the A10 7800 and the A10 6800K so all of performance improvements you will see are per-clock IPC improvements. 2133mhz memory was used.

 

 

A10-7800+HD 7750 shows dual graphics performance.
Also please keep in mind that the A10-7800 is a 65W APU so GPU throttling is imminent to stay within the specified TDP, while the 6800K is a 100W chip which allows it to clock as high as the cooling would allow it to.

Cute.

10/10 best topic ever

These benchmarks don't mean anything to me

WTF is this

Oops my bad I forgot

[TechFan@ic]

Holy crap you guys are quick.

[miyabwah]

Uhm...

[MasterJV]

Uhmm, did you confuse the pictures with the benchmarks?

Pictures now fixed

[TechFan@ic]

Oh I see what happened there, whatever image hosting service they're using is blocking deep linking, will have to upload to imgur.

WOW when I edit my post (since I quoted everything) I see the benchmarks!

Linking them direct from the source works.

No it doesn't, it "worked" for 2 minutes, then the images were blocked.

The CPU performance improvement seems really good, ranging from 10% to a whopping 40%.

GPU performance seems underwhelming to me any thoughts guys ?

seems they're trying so badly to keep within set power limitations and TDP the GPU's is being starved of power similar to the situation with the 6800k

 

EDIT: We also don't know RAM speeds.

According to the source they're using 2133Mhz memory, which is quite fast.

Kaveri is rumored to support 2400Mhz+ though so that could be interesting.

ah didn't read it, it's most likely TDP then, if AMD gave us something similar to PowerTune for CPUs than allowed us to raise the max TDP of the CPU then setting this to say 200W would probably let us see some spectacular benchmark results

[GM_Peka]

I'm more interested in per core performance. Since AMD said they were going to address the poor CPU core scaling, it could simply be better scaling that is giving us these improved scores.

well remember the 7800k is not the highest end sku... it has 384 gcn cores clocked lower than the older cores in the 6800k. the 7850k would have 512 cores (still clocked lower but more cores anyway )   

[Humbug]

The superpi benchmark suggests well over 20% improvement in single threaded floating point performance.

Won't this allow the APUs to catch up with something like the fx-8350 in terms of discrete GPU gaming performance?
