AMD A10 7800 Series “Kaveri” APU Pictured and Cinebench Performance Leaked

AMD’s Kaveri APU appears to be pretty close to being launched as images of the AMD A10-7850K APU are starting to appear online. AMD is expected to launch its “Kaveri” line of socket FM2+ APUs on January 13-14, so it looks like details are leaking well ahead of the purported launch dates.

According to hermitage akihabara the AMD A10-7850K APU will have a base clock of 3.7GHz, but can run in Turbo mode and reach 4.0GHz. This will be the flagship processor uses Stramroller cores and it will have a 95W TDP rating and an OPN of AD785KXBI44JA. There will also be a lower cost AMD A10-7770K APU with a base clock of 3.5GHz, Turbo clock of 3.8GHz and a 95W TDP rating as well. Both APUs will feature AMD Radeon R7 GPUs with Graphics Core Next technology with the A10-7850 having 512 stream processors while the A10-7770K has 384 stream processors.

It also appears some Cinebench R15 performance numbers also leaked out on the AMD A10-7850K APU. It looks like it scored 311 cb with all cores running and 88 cb with just one core. The AMD A10-5800K APU scores around 90 cb in the single core test, so it looks like AMD might have hit a wall here. The upcoming A10-7850K, and A10-7700K APUs are part of a new platform, so many were expecting to see something more powerful than their predecessors. It is rumored that the AMD A10-7850K has around 856 GFLOPS of compute performance, which makes it about 9.8% faster than the AMD A10-6800K ‘Richland’ APU as it had 779 GFLOPS.

There is also some talk about Battlefield 4 being bundled with some Kaveri processors, but we shall see. AMD’s BF4 bundle deal on video cards was rather limited and if something like that comes out for their APUs we expect it to be very limited as well, not to mention AMD confirmed that the BF4 MANTLE patch has been delayed.
