Of course, all of this comes at the price of power. While GPU clock speeds are the same, the A8-7600 has a 400 MHz disadvantage in base clock so you are likely to see some noticeable performance deltas. First, it has fewer GPU cores (384 SIMD units down from its bigger brother's 512 SIMD units). The A8-7600 differs from the A10-7850K flagship Kaveri APU in several key ways. This APU includes 10 compute units (4 CPU and 6 GPU) with a maximum clock rate of 3.3 GHz (Boost to 3.8) in its 65 watt option and 3.1 GHz (Boost to 3.3) for its 45 watt setting. Instead, inside the box was a completely system built around the AMD A8-7600 APU which is the lowest end Kaveri part being announced today for the desktop. When I arrived home from CES last week, I found a box from AMD that I assumed would have all the necessary hardware to allow us to put together the same comprehensive review for our readers that we are used to. For Kaveri, the first true HSA-ready part, things were set up a bit differently. If a high end CPU option was available (whatever the flagship part was) it was the one sent to reviewers for the initial release.

Over the past 14+ years of doing PC hardware reviews, new processors and graphics cards were always sent to us in a "top down" fashion. With this release, AMD is attempting to do things very differently compared to other launches and I want to point this out before we go any further.
Rather than send us the high-end 7850K for testing we are looking at the 45 watt A8-7600.
