New AMD Godavari A8-7670K Desktop Processors Released
AMD today introduced the newest addition to its A-Series line of desktop processors. The A8-7670K APU packs four Steamroller CPU cores clocked at 3.6GHz, along with six GCN Radeon "cores" clocked at 757 MHz. The A8-7670K is an affordable APU designed for multitask workloads and stream video in Windows 10 or online gaming.
The A8-7670K is the second Godavari APU to hit the market, after the A10-7870K back in May. AMD says that the 7670K is a better performer in games than a combo like Intel's Pentium G3258 and a GeForce GT 730 discrete graphics card. The company also claims that the 7670K performs better in tasks like applying Photoshop's Smart Sharpen filter and running 3DMark versus Intel's Core i3-4160, though the numbers are a lot tighter in general performance benchmarks like PCMark.
Beyond the basic specs, the A8 features Virtual Super Resolution, and AMD’s FreeSync feature that lets graphics processors and compatible displays sync their refresh rates.
The new APU will fit the FM2+ socket just like the A10-7870K. Available now, it carries a suggested price of $117.99.
