AMD Fusion A10 A10-7850K

Older brother

The processor part of the AMD A10-7850K exactly repeats the Athlon X4 860K: the old Kaveri architecture with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and Turbo Core auto-overclocking up to 4 GHz (only for half of the cores). But at the same time, it also has the graphics part of the Radeon R7, and not anyhow, but the most powerful among processors for desktop PCs (the even more powerful Intel Iris Plus is used only in laptops).

net benefit

Integrated graphics A10-7850K has not a lot, not a little, 512 micro-cores. In the case of using dual-channel RAM, its performance reaches the level of discrete graphics cards GeForce GT 740 and Radeon R7 250, which cost $70. The cost of integration, if we compare the price of A10-7850K with Athlon X4 860K without graphics, is only $30.

Play — don't overplay

The AMD A10-7850K handles both multiplayer games (World of Tanks, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) and single hits (GTA V, Fallout 4, Skyrim). Difficulties can only arise with the newest and resource-intensive games like The Witcher 3 and PlayerUnknown's Battleground. If you are a fan of one specific or several not very demanding games, and new items are indifferent to you, feel free to buy the A10-7850K. After all, in the future you can always buy a discrete graphics card.
