AMD A10 AD785KXBJABOX 7850K Black Edition with Radeon R7 Series New FM2+ Kaveri HSA CPU

Oh, what to say about this Chip? If you want to build a cheap gaming PC, this is about the only way you'll do it for less than the cost of a console. Do (please!) get 2133Mhz or 2400mhz RAM as it makes a huge difference as this chip is using system RAM for Graphics Ram (albeit in a slightly different way to most). I wouldn't bother with Motherboards offering "GPU BOOST", they make naff all difference to this chip as the GPU is already running about as quick as it can. Power consumption is so good that even the cheapo PSUs that come with cases costing under 30 quid are fine. I have 8gb and can run Elite:Dangerous in Medium detail at 40-50fps or High at 20-40 fps (ultra is not really worth bothering with, but it will do it if you insist). On my 1080p 24" monitor, I can barely see any difference between med, high and ultra. Really, if general gaming on a casual basis - this is all you need. Get one, play with it, if you're happy then leave it at that. If not then the CPU is a little belter that can be overclocked to 4500mhz plus - it's a great CPU in it's own respect if you want to pair with a posh GPU at some point in the future. Remember, though, that overclocking won't help the FPS in games, generally speaking 3700Mhz of quad-core steamroller is enough to do physics and AI in games with room to spare- so overclocking the CPU may only make a marginal difference. I experimented with Dual Graphics - I got a good FPS boost, but some minor tearing issues. If you go down this route, then you do really need the 5gddr variants of the R7 250. To be honest, though, I'm getting the impression you might be better off not bothering and just using the onboard whilst you save for a R9 2XXX. The stock cooler is fine for all uses, up to, and including, mild overclocking. It's also quiet (well, mine is) and free. Don't bother to change it, unless you're going for significant overclocking.

Works brilliantly, only issue is mine came with finger prints on the face of the cpu that would not clean off even with isopropanol and other cleaners. Otherwise gtav medium settings 40fps I Cant complain

You often read on review sites how AMD is far behind Intel when it comes to performance. You also often read that AMD is solid value, but that their APUs are often outclassed by low-end Intel chips with money to spare for a discrete graphics card. My personal experience is that my laptop, equipped with a 2 GHz sandy bridge quadcore i7 died due to a less than expertly performed upgrade (by yours truly) recently and I found myself in the need for a new pc. I decided to go with AMD this time, as they (or ATI for GPUs) have never let me down in the past, so I trust the brand as much as I do Intel. What I wasn't sure about was how a dual-module chip (Don't be silly, AMD, those aren't four fully fledged cores and you know it) with no L3 cache would stack up against the old i7. And more importantly, how well the r7 graphics would fare against the GT555M. The answer is that, unexpectedly, it's actually faster. Now, in a properly threaded workload, the old i7 would probably still cream the A10, but most productivity applications aren't. And this system grows with your needs, because, don't forget, HSA is around the corner. As I understand it, this will bring GPGPU acceleration to many applications, without much effort from developers, just by using the new compiler. As HSA matures, this will boost the performance of the computer enormously, and while review sites say you shouldn't hold your hopes up for HSA, I respectfully disagree. The Kaveri is the only chip that supports it so far, though, and it will be a game changer. This could be as big as adding more cores was, back in the day, and as big as OpenCL never was. Keep up the good work and don't let me down, AMD!

The performance per £ is amazing. I am running the cpu part at a constant 4 ghz (can easily push to 4.4ghz if required), and the gpu part at the stock clock of 720mhz (can be pushed to 1028mhz, but needs decent cooling). Paired it with an R7 250 gpu for dual graphics (only because I was able to pick it up for £40 on eBay), and I can play recent games in 1080p with ease (medium settings). It is advisable to get faster ram, which boosts the graphics performance further. I am using Kingston 2400mhz ram. Although some chips might only be able to run a maximum of 2133mhz (the official supported figure). Once more games start supporting mantle, the performance will be even better, not to forget the gains due to HSA in future and current applications. All in all, great performance at a great price. Well done AMD!

This is an excellent CPU. I have used 2 of them so far. The graphic capability is amazing. This CPU will drive 3 displays simultaneously with the main display at 3840x2160 resolution, yes that is a 4k display. I am writing this review using this CPU with a triple monitor setup with a 28" 4k main display. I used the other CPU to build a dedicated IP camera server using Blue Iris software with 10 IP cameras. This server had been running on an Intel I7 CPU running at 2.2GHz and CPU usage was 15%. With the AMD 7850 CPU running at 3.7 GHz the CPU usage is 35%. This CPU is not an I7 killer, but unless you are trying to calculate the number of atoms in the universe it is more than capable. The supplied fans are not bad, but if like me you are running the CPU 24/7 at 35%+ usage you will need a better fan. Make sure your M/B bios supports this CPU and get the fastest memory your can as the CPU graphics side uses this as shared memory. If you want to run a 4K display and 3 monitors make sure to get a M/B with enough graphic support and I suggest Display Port if you can.

Met all my expectations.

Très bien pour une utilisation "familliale" dans un pc couplé à 8 Go de Ram (Il se réserve 2 Go pour sa partie graphique), win 10 et un disque dur SSD : Un pc rapide, prêt en moins de 30 secs après allumage, çà change de mon "vieux" pc de 5 ans ! Pas testé avec des jeux récents, mais d'après un site spécialisé, il semblerait qu'il y ait un risque qu'il soit à la "traîne" sauf si il "travaille" en binome avec une carte graphique équipée de la même puce graphique... Après, ce n'est pas le genre de processeur choisi par les "gamers"... ils se tournent plus vers Intel couplé à des cartes graphique de "fous"... Conclusion : l'utilisateur "lambda" y trouvera plus que largement son compte.

Por el precio correcto este procesador tiene un muy buen rendimiento, eso si le compre un disipador aparte, un big shuriken 2 ya que arme una computadora ITX, se calienta como entre 49 o 52 grados centigrados bajo un uso relajado, corriendo un juego llegara a 60 grados o mas, no es tanto realmente si se considera el tamaño del gabinete( un elite 130), el rendimiento en los juegos es muy decente para ser integrado, y la imagen del monitor es buena, sin duda lo recomiendo, obvio no le va a ganar a un Intel Core I5 o Core I7, pero este tiene mejor video que los de Intel y en su rango de precio es de lo mejor. consideren comprarle un disipador aparte dependiendo de el uso que vayan a darle, porque esta muy pequeño el que trae.

Veramente sorpreso e soddisfatto di questa Apu Amd A10 7850k e lo dico anche da possessore di un i7 4770k + Gtx 750 ti 2gb palit dualx La mia configurazione AMD -Kingston HyperX Predator 8GB DDR3-2400MHz Kit (chiaramente impostata a 2133mhz, come max supportato dal processore) -Crucial M550 SSD, 256GB, -Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO (a cui ho aggiunto una seconda ventolina da 90mm, veramente ottimo dissipatore e facile da installare) -Asrock FM2A88X Extreme6+ -Case Corsair Carbide 300R -Corsair CMX430, 430 W Il computer si accende ed è pronto in circa 10 secondi (stranamente meglio di quanto faccia l'i7-4770k, probabilmente a causa di qualche settaggio errato, anchesso dotato di veloce ssd samsung evo 240gb), mentre i miei test con cinebench R15 mi danno un punteggio cpu (clock a 4,3ghz) e openGL rispettivamente di 348cb e 47,18 fps (gpu clock a 950mhz), ma per quest'ultima consiglio di riportare i valori a stock con con cui si ottengono circa 42\43 fps, perchè a clock superiori lo schermo si spegne e bisogna riavviare, evidentemente la gpu integrata non regge clock troppo elevati e bisognerebbe provare quale sia il suo limite ai vari settaggi. Mentre il test passmark di questa configurazione è andato oltre i 6000 punti. Giocando a Battlefield 3 con impostazioni medie, utilizzando il programma fraps su uno schermo 1920x1080, il frame rate non andava mai sotto i 20 con picchi di 40 e oltre, quindi per essere in full hd, l'esperienza di gioco è sempre stata molto buona e giocabile. Raccomando per prima, rispetto a tutti gli altri driver, scheda madre compresa, l'installazione degli ultimi driver catalyst per Apu, dal sito Amd, perchè inizialmente avendo installato solo quelli in dotazione alla mobo asrock fm2 a88x extreme6+, la r7 250 integrata non mi veniva riconosciuta come tale, ma come grafica windows e senza alcun audio passante per hdmi, allora ho disinstallato i driver, con conseguente schermo nero, quindi smontato il cavo hdmi e montato provvisoriamente un cavo vga, installato catalyst 14,4 per apu direttamente dal sito del produttore e tutto è iniziato a funzionare a meraviglia. Hdmi e lo splendido audio purity sound della mobo asrock (un audio pazzesco, veramente bello) viene riprodotto a meraviglia.

Für alle die es interessiert, ich kühle die APU mit einem Noctua nh-l9a, welcher laut Hersteller eigentlich nur für 65 Watt TDP ausgelegt ist, aber mit dem a10 7850k gut klarkommt. Die Temperaturen bleiben beim spielen ungefähr so auf 45°C, im Idle geht er runter auf RT also 22°C. Mit der geringen Bauhöhe des Kühlers von 3,7mm ist wohl ein sehr kompakter PC mit anständiger gaming Performance möglich, sofern man sich dazu guten RAM holt. Vergesst aber nicht irgendeine Art von Gehäusekühlung sonst wirds mit dem Hitzestau doch etwas zu arg. Ich gebe dem guten Stück 5 Sterne weil das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wirklich der Hammer ist.
