AMD A10-7700K

The AMD A10-7700K is the second fastest model of the desktop Kaveri line-up at the begin of 2014. It is a quad-core processor that integrates two Steamroller modules with four integer cores and two FPU cores. The integrated AMD Radeon R7 graphics card integrates 384 cores (6 computes cores) and can be used seamlessly with the CPU thanks to HSA. As Richland, Kaveri supports DDR3-2133 main memory. The fast GPU however needs fast RAM and profits from overclocked (2400) dual-rank memory configurations.
Compared to the fastest A10-7850K, the 7700K is slower clocked (3.7 / 4 GHz versus 3.4 / 3.8 GHz) and the GPU offers less cores (8 versus 6 compute cores).
The TDP of the desktop APU is specified at 95 Watt and therefore 5 Watt below the Richland top models.
Test system: Asus A88XM-PLUS, 16 GB DDR3-2133 AMD Gamer RAM

Video Decoder UVD4
We testet the integrated UVC 4 video decoder with the current Catalyst 14.4RC1 driver on a AMD A10-7850K (fastest Kaveri desktop model). The 1080p "Big Buck Bunny" video was running fluently with nearly no CPU load. The DXVAChecker benchmark showed the clip at 59 fps and 2 % CPU load (15 % GPU load). Our 100 Mbit 4K MP4 however was not supported by the decoder and therefore had to be played back using the CPU cores. This lead to a slightly choppy playback and a benchmark result of 26 fps at 97 % CPU load.
No reviews found for this CPU (yet).
