    An FX6300 consumes around 15W to 45W more at the wall than a Haswell Core i5.

    Edit!!

    I have noticed more and more threads on various forums in the last month or so from low post count or new posters,justifying buying more expensive Intel CPUs due to lower power consumption. Most of this seems to be justified around load power measurements,ie,the useless LinX tests.

    Interesting timing IMHO.

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    Ha Ha, PCGH.de are so worried about deep linking that their images don't even work on their own site! Or rather I first though it was Firefox since the power consumption had their silly 'no deep linking' picture while Chrome and Opera did not, but clicking on watercooled or Cat's original link and refreshing did work.

    But anyway, idle and load power has a lot do with the mobo used. Lots of power stages don't come cheap either in terms of power or cost. Which is an advantage to Intel since now that only their 'K' processors can be overclocked and since Celeron/Pentium/i3 are fairly frugal there is no point in overspecing Intel motherboards. I do think the FX6300 is great value versus i3 most of the time but I never saw the point of paring it expensive motherboards (I've seen people suggesting £100+ boards) since once you do that an i5 makes more sense.

    It seems all models have configurable TDP and the A10s come with BF4.

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    The review thread is up!!

    It seems AMD has sent out the A8 7600 to TR for review.

    They even compared it to the A10 6700T!!

    I wonder if they have been reading the forums??

    I told you the A8 7600 would be the pick of the range!!

    It looks like AMD marketing was not sleeping after all!

    Phew!

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    Don't see anyone who went really mad with OC and tried both GPU and RAM, but PCGH have these official slides with GPU@1GHz and RAM at 2500+MHz:
    http://www.pcgameshardware.de/CPU-Ha...lerie/2130310/ (it's the 7th slide)

    That brings around +50% performance.

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    Just got back home so I'm only part way through skipping through the Anandtech review - yeah it seems the 45W part is seriously impressive! Increasing to 100W TDP allows for only minor improvements in a lot of the benchmarks.

    Just noticed something interesting though - the minimum FPS for Iris Pro falls right to the bottom of the pack, I wonder if this is when the on-die memory gets saturated? It would be interesting to know how often this FPS drop occurs, like in one of those FPS graphs (I guess there could be some in other reviews I've yet to read).

    DOA if it remains that way.

    As I said in the opther thread, the AT gaming reviews or stupid to the point of near misinformation. Tomb Raider benches at xtreme settings @ 1080p - why? No one ever expected to play the game at that level.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Scan are mad!

    Dabs has it for around £130.

    £130 on Dabs ATM.

    Iris Pro looks rather meh in most of the games tested:

    http://www.anandtech.com/show/7677/a...0-a10-7850k/12

    Considering the faster CPU(desktop Core i7) and 80MM2 of L4 cache providing more memory bandwith. In three of the games it cannot even beat the A8 and A10 IGP in both 45W and 95W TDP CPUs. In one game it can,and not even that convincingly.

    Edit!!

    The Core i7 4770R is almost a Core i7 4770K:
