A8-7670K CPU Review
Conclusions
Contents
The launch of the A8-7670K is a little frustrating, because AMD did not launch a CPU based on a new architecture for a long time. On the other hand, the manufacturer seems to be improving their current products, not only on the integrated GPU, but also on thermal management.
Comparing the A8-7670K from AMD to the Pentium G3460 from Intel, which has the same price, each one has its strong and weak points. It is clear that, on programs that take advantage of the biggest amount of processing cores, the A8-7670K is faster, while the Pentium G3460 is better in applications that do not use all the available cores.
About the integrated GPU, the superiority of the A8-7670K is clear, being several times faster than the Pentium G3460. While the Intel model simply cannot run even less demanding games, the A8-7670K allows the casual gamer to run even newer titles, obviously in lower quality options or resolution.
According to AMD, one of the factors that allow the high GPU performance is the support to 2,133 MHz memory.
Concluding, the A8-7670K processor is an excellent option if you are building a low budget computer, for multimedia applications or even casual gaming, if you do not intend to use an independent video card.
