AMD Kaveri AMD's A10-7800 Processor Review @ Tech Report

Looks like AMD is introducing a few extra players to it's Kaveri lineup of APU's.  The new A10-7800 and A8-7600 are looking to compliment the A10-7850K and 7700K as slightly less powerful but optimized variants of the original chipsets.   A new 6-core A6-7400K was also announced for budget minded enthusiasts looking to make a leap up for under $100.   

We first reviewed an AMD Kaveri processor back at the start of the year, but since then, AMD's new APU has been in kind of a weird place. The A8-7600 chip we reviewed has been scarce in retail channels, evidently because AMD succeeded in selling them elsewhere—likely to big PC manufacturers.  Some of the chips were surely set aside for use in laptops, too.  As a result, PC hobbyists just haven't had very good access to AMD's latest APU.

Happily, that situation is finally changing, and Kaveri-based chips are starting to make their way into the market. AMD is putting an exclamation point on that fact today by filling out its APU lineup and making some tweaks to its pricing.  The headliner of the bunch is a brand-new model, the A10-7800, that may just be the most desirable Kaveri-based desktop processor yet.
