AMD A8-7650k, 4 core, 3,3GHz (Kaveri), Radeon R7 - tray [AD765KXBI44JA]

The AMD A8-7650K is one of the top models of the latest generation of APU named Kaveri, accesses 4 MB L2 cache back and used it for the processor-Part two of the improved Steamroller modules (total 4 CPU cores) which are characterized by an increased per-clock performance and extensive feature range (about AES encryption, AMD-V virtualization technology or SSE and AVX instruction set extensions). The fabricated chip in 28 nm clocked into the basic level of 3.300 MHz and can increase via Turbo Core 3.0 with a corresponding load the clock individual cores up to 3,700 MHz. Since this is a Black Edition, also the uncomplicated overclocking via the open multiplier is possible, however, which is accompanied by the loss of warranty.

To meet the modern architecture of the CPU-graphics chips justice, the silicon includes a total of all 10 processing units, divided into the four mentioned 64-bit CPU cores (2 modules) and six "compute units" (384 Shaders) of graphics unit with 720 MHz clock. The greater part of the team Graphic collected almost half of the total chip area and has the strongest growth compared to its predecessor. He is now therefore in the form of an integrated Radeon R7-series. The architecture is based is called GCN (Graphics Core Next) and found both in the dedicated Radeon graphics cards in the HD-7000 and R-series, as well as the latest game consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4 application.

In addition, the APU combines several other important functions in itself, which were formerly separately vorfand in the chipset on the motherboard, such as the memory controller with a native support for DDR3 memory up to 2,133 MHz clock. Here AMD now uses a heterogeneous system architecture, making graphics and processor cores to work together more intensively. A feature of this technology is the new memory management named Huma, which helps to create a common access to the memory of the PC, which can be used equally by both parties. Both functional units can thus always exchange information with each other and operate independently.

Overall, this symbiotic chip offers so potent computing power for undemanding gaming claims - and all without a dedicated graphics card! With its TDP of 95 watts, it thus enables multimedia and entry-level gaming PC in miniature and is predestined for use in ITX Cube or enclosures. Other highlights include, for example, support for multi-monitor mode Eyefinity velvet, ultra-HD resolution (4K) or AMD True Audio. In addition, the integrated Universal Video Decoder (UVD) plays all imaginable forms of HD video material from liquid, without thereby burdening the CPU. AMD's revolutionary interface for hardware 3D calculations called Mantle relieves the processor of the APU and obsolete thanks to direct access to the graphics unit the maximum out of the Radeon graphics part with Graphics Core Next architecture out.

This is the tray version of the processor. A CPU cooler therefore not included.
