AMD A10-7700K and AMD A6-7400K Conclusion
In recent months and quarters I have had discussions about why CPU manufacturers offer a number of processors each separated by $7 and 100 MHz. The obvious answer (but not always the logical answer) is to cater for what the customer wants by overloading them with choice. As a result, sometimes direct CPU comparisons can be difficult, as it requires testing every CPU released. Thankfully for AMD&s Kaveri, todays tests of the A10-7700K and A6-7400K plugs a few holes in our AMD benchmark numbers to allow those comparisons.
The Information
, a newer processor having been released at the turn of 2015, and thus a lot of the introduction on this page is going to mirror what we stated in that review, particularly when it comes to pricing, comparisons and the processor stack as a whole. We requested both the A10-7700K and the A6-7400K to fill in some of the gaps in our testing, though we do recognize they were released in mid-2014. This is unfortunately part of AMD&s Kaveri strategy & releasing one or two different SKUs each quarter to cover parts of the market. In this case, the A10-7700K is the lowest A10 part while the A6-7400K is one of the few single module (dual thread) available.

Processors
IGP Freq. (MHz)
The A10-7700K differs by having a total of 10 compute units compared to the other A10 processors which have 12. This means that it has a high CPU and GPU speed, but fewer GPU cores to play with compared to the A10-7800 or A10-7850K. Compared to the A10-7800 also, we are dealing with the A10-7700K as a 95W part at , rather than a 65W part, but the A10-7700K is more geared towards overclocking which we cover later in the review.
The A6-7400K sits at the bottom of the stack. That position and represents how AMD bins its processors, as the A6 still has all the same transistors. When the dies come out and are tested, if one of the modules is not working correctly it can be fused off from the rest of the processor and sold as a lower end part. The rest of the CPU is fine as represented by the high CPU frequencies, and it comes with a TDP of 65W at a low
price. The question becomes whether having only a single module (and two threads) is enough for it to power the 256 SPs in the graphics or if the CPU has the power for&discrete cards now that more games are multithreaded. That being said, pairing it with a
discrete card which has 320 SPs should, on paper at least, afford a good bump in graphics performance when in dual graphics mode for titles that can take advantage of it.
Competition and Market
For every tech product that comes out on the market, price is everything. A good product can become super obscure by virtue of a high price, or an overtly mediocre product might become interesting if it strikes a chord at a low price point. Then there is always a question of competition, understanding what a user can get at what price and whether there are features that make the experience worthwhile.
The downside for reviews at least is because in reality there are two prices for everything. The launch price dictates the initial interest, but subsequent price cuts over time can help drive sales. When we write a review, our thoughts are encapsulated at that specific moment in time, so if the price drops or it goes on sale, sometimes the level of recommendation might be skewed.& In our last review, we experimented with this. We produced a table of AMD vs Intel at price points in the market:
CPU/APU Comparion
AMD Kaveri
Amazon Price on 5/27
Intel Haswell
(4C/4T, 88W)
3.5-3.9 GHz
(4C/4T, 84W)
3.3-3.7 GHz
(4C/4T, 84W)
3.2-3.4 GHz
(2C/4T, 54W)
3.7-4.0 GHz

3.5-3.9 GHz

3.1-3.8 GHz
(2M/4T, 65W)
3.7-4.0 GHz
(2M/4T, 95W)
Pentium&G3258

HD (Haswell)
3.5-3.9 GHz
(1M/2T, 65W)
Celeron G1840
(2C/2T, 53W)
HD (Haswell)
This shows what is competing against what specifically at this time frame. One issue to consider is representing this in our benchmarking graphs.&In our last review, the A8-7650K, we started quoting the pricing &with the processors. Our graphs are not dynamic, and if we used the current price at the time of review, the later the review is arguably the better the recommendation. In that regard we decided to use the launch price of a product for our graphs to maintain a level of consistency.
What pricing we quote aside, looking at recent prices in the table above gives competition for both the A6-7400K and the A10-7700K. The A6-7400K sits below the Pentium G3258 which we reviewed last year and is Intel&s low end overclocking processor. The A10-7700K sits more against the i3-4130 at $120. For our comparisons in this review, we have numbers for the G3258 but the nearest Intel CPUs to the A10-7700K we have are the i3-4130T ($138) and the i3-4330 ($128).
All our results, both past and present, can be found in our online database . As we test CPUs in the future, look out for those results as well.
Test Setup
We are using a new testing regime, starting from May 2015 including five recent games on different AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards from $70 to $560. A detailed breakdown of our testing can be found , although for this review we will present a few of the more poignant tests while all the results can be found in Bench.

AMD A10-7700K and AMD A6-7400K Overclocking
For the A10-7700K, we hit 4.4 GHz relatively easily with a small bump in voltage, however as we pushed higher frequency it required even more voltage to compensate which led to a quick route to overheating.
The A6-7400K starts with a high base frequency to begin with, but due to the disabled module on board it might have fewer heat generating areas and it could be construed that it might overclock more. In our testing, we had to change motherboards and the MSI has fewer overclocking options than the GIGABYTE, allowing only an offset voltage setting.

AMD and marketing go together like oil and water. They have always been hopelessly inept at it.

*raises hand*I was that guy.I built my brother a mostly TF2 box to upgrade his ancient athlon desktop this past christmas, and I picked up an A10-7700k for him thinking it had the same igpu as the rest of the A10 line, not the A8 line. :/
WorldWithoutMadness - Wednesday, May 27, 2015 -
Not your fault. Just blame those AMD guys.If you ever met with AMD employees, ask him whether he knows or if he is in charge on naming the product. Punch the guy who gave this atrocious naming
Alexvrb - Wednesday, May 27, 2015 -
I always look at specs before I purchase something. Especially since, the part numbers are nearly useless by themselves. I don't care if it's AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Asus, G.Skill, or anyone else. If you get roped in by a product number, your geek card is suspended for a few months. :-P

Could be worse. I bought an A8 3870 APU. Then bought a motherboard without video output.I'm amazeballs, I am.Still, for what I do, paired up with an R280 (was 7770) it's fine. I'm waiting for the Zen cores to come out before considering an upgrade, we'll see how they compare to whatever Intel is pushing at that point in terms of price/performance.

If you upgrade to Windows 10 then your build will be pretty dam good. In fact it will be a far better gaming rig than ANY Intel i3, i5 or i7.

Did you get your M$ check?
Alexvrb - Thursday, May 28, 2015 -
They paid him the same amount they are going to charge him for a Windows 10 upgrade. He was also probably mentioning it because that chip will benefit greatly in the future from low-level APIs such as DX12. Good troll, I mean try, though.

In so far as budget gaming is concerned AMD is not under-performing at all.
The 860k(and 870k no doubt) is a far more intelligent choice than the similarly priced G3258.
It's a shame this test was done the day before Godavari's launch.
For those of us not red/green colorblind a review of the 7870k and 870k with their larger stock cpu coolers and improved IPC would have been very welcome.

英特尔赛扬G3900处理器和AMDr7350显卡玩吃鸡卡
麻烦各位大神，我这个配置玩吃鸡最低都一卡一卡的，是处理器不行还是显卡不行，需要换什么？如果换配置大概预算是多少？ 我是小白，对这方面不太懂，有懂的大神可以指导一下吗？
我有更好的答案
朋友，你好：CPU和显卡都达不到游戏的配置要求，CPU可以换成I5
6500 ,而独显换成GTX1060 6G ，主机电源换成额定输出功率为450W，就可以流畅的玩吃鸡。这三个大约要3500左右。希望对你有所帮助，祝你快乐~~~
我预算没有那么多，配置可以再低一点吗，处理器136100的可以吗？
