Stop shifting the salient point here, I am not talking about the 7850k at retail price, that is irrelevant to the volume seller that the A8-7600 will be.

A8-7600 and related lower models make Celeron and Pentium irrelevant.

Again, lets look at specific target markets.

The Intel tax is still apparent below, and the two A8 systems (since A8 is so important when comparing A4 and Celeron) still offer a better value (more RAM on a 64 bit OS AND better graphics) vs those i3's.

Oh, and fuk all to any benchmarks that will be thrown up. I am only talking value based on a non-biased recommendation.

A8 7600 45W/65W=119$
Celeron G18xx 35W/54W=42-52$

An i3 4130(T) 35W/54W is 125$.

Kaveri is simply way to expensive. And you only keep showing how huge the AMD tax is. AMD lost the entry/value end long ago.

How about you throw in a graphics card similar to what Kaveri has then see what price you get.

FFS, seriously, play the retail game all you want.

A8-7600 is going to OEM's and will be sold in volume.

I already did all the legwork, look at what is assembled and sold in volume, not what someone is going to custom build.

Compared to the 7600?

Its not getting any better.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...344&CatId=7387

42+63=105 vs 119$.

You can for just 3$ more than the 7600 get the R7 250 with GDDR5 as well.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...342&CatId=7387

heh, R7 240 (320 Radeon Cores) is slower than A8-7600 R7 with 364 Radeon Cores. Not only that, CPU wise the A8-7600 will completely destroy the Celeron.

So at the end, the A8-7600 is cheaper, with better graphics and lower overall TDP.

Edit: and dont forget you cannot put those GPUs in to a SFF slim case.

LOL celerons sucks, the 7600 would rape it in almost any test. And lets not talk about IGPU performance..

Hes talking about OEM stuff bruv

Also grasping on those straws godamn boy

Personally i would feel safer with a 7600 Kaveri instead of a Celeron ( even a i3) if i would buy a box from best buy or made a small form factor HTPC, mainly due to the IGP (and i think that matters more in that kinda of setup, i don't really trust Intel GFX over AMD)

im not saying A8-7600 its not gona sell, its a nice APU, but a Celeron for 42-52 + a R7 250 or 240 gona be cheaper.

Haswell Celeron $55
R7 240 is at $70
H81 $50

We are talking about $175 for a cpu+mb+dgpu, if the 7600 cost $120 we are talking about just 55 for the FM2+ mb, that they MAY get, but what about memory? the best case escenario will put the celeron + 240 at the same price of the 7600... yeah TDP its diferent but no one cares about that on desktop, the cases are the same, the PSU are the same...

BTW, a R7 250 cost $90. And dont forget OEM pay less for the things, is a safe bet the dgpu for them are cheaper.

Bottom line=Less performance,higher price.
board+7850K=around $290 ( using onboard gfx )

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116946 $130 chip

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138384 $60 mobo
( Now can run "Intel HD gfx" which are pretty bad.. ) is now @ price of 7850K alone.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102950 $90 Discrete GDDR5 Gfx
Total:$280 for higher IPC,GDDR5 discrete GFX.

I am fairly confident that this build will crush yours at the same price point(at least for gaming):

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI A88XM-E45 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($75.99 @ Mwave)
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7790 1GB Video Card ($114.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $280.96

Let us not forget an OEM Intel dual core system that CAN ACCEPT the dedicated vid card is going to be more expensive than the SFF low end Intel (that needs an r7 250) that is competing with A8-7600.

In regards to adding an equivalent GPU comparable to Kaveri:

Apples and Oranges comparo as Kaveri GPU is clocked lower than a dedicated card.

An i3 (2c/4T) OEM box with good graphics is a different creature, as OEM's DO NOT SELL boxes with dedicated GPU anymore.

Take that i3 box with 4 gig o ram at $449 and add an r7 250 at $89.99.

Whoop de do.

i3 4130t systems

There are no big core BD/PD/SR "quadcores" in the 400$ list you linked, you forgot they are A8 and A10 only. There was Kabini and single module big cores besides Llano. And with Kabini that GPU advantage...not so much. And CPU wise none of them are even near. But again, with Kabini we could start to talk about BayTrail too.

If AMDs chip was like everyone wanted. Then I am sure their marketshare would be better, alot better.

Its funny how you talk about an Intel tax. When you show people have to pay the AMD tax. And even more so after the 22% price increase as seen on the lackbuster 7850K.

You do know that Intel got AMD to sign a limit of below 35% marketshare? This happened when they renewed the x86 license to AMD. There are terms which even allow cancellation of the license itself if the marketshare of AMD grows too much.

I'd much rather buy AMD where everything works smoothly. BTW typing this on a Sager machine (ivy-b powered), for i'm not just another nut who has no skin in the game. Trinity was too late for my mobile purchase. However, i'd have a hard time recommending someone to buy an Intel machine having so many problems as i do with my intel plagued (for lack of a better expression) laptop. The software is buggy (Intel software), doesn't support 4k over hdmi (i have a 4k screen).

Lower clocks and the lack of four threads will make the Celeron hang in modern games. Learned it by proper experience.

But i still want to see this a8-7600 price in a 4C/512Sp Kaveri APU.

AMD can achieve a bigger leap throwing the entire architecture just like the P4 to Conroe. They are probably working on something, to continue after XV

Steamroller, or even Piledriver; are much more efficient uarch than K10 since it has about the same IPC with only 2/3 of the execution ressources , all they need is to widen the execution bandwith of each core with one or even two ALU + AGU for X86/Integer and one or two 128bit FP pipeline , they are just constrained by processes performances.

I got something for that one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819113286 CPU $120

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157292 Mobo $60 (has onboard GFX) HD 4250

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814202053 GPU $90

Total: $270 with GDDR5 discrete GFX,more CPU power, and requires no extra 6-pin on PSU.

Power Connector 6-Pin
Kaveri makes no sense.

With half baked graphics compared to Kaveri...

AMD has had better graphics than Intel for just about forever. And yet they have not been successful.

Since the market seems to have decided that better graphics than Intel isn't much of selling point, why will Kaveri be any different?

AMD just reported another 9% drop on their CPU business. That's the results of their APU strategy.

RR just said record sales of A8 and A10 APUs in Q4.

Edit: also,

Microprocessor ASP increased sequentially, due to a richer mix of client APUs sold.

No. Thats simply made up BS. And it would be tragic if anyone even remotely thought that was true.

I would recommend you to read this:
http://corporate.findlaw.com/contra...agreement-advanced-micro-devices-inc-and.html
Why read about it here and there, and not have it straight from the horse's (well, one of the two concerned) mouth?
http://www.amd.com/br/Documents/AMD_Intel_Settlement_Agreement_-_Full.pdf
This is from 2009

Some detail is outlined in a post at SA.

I told you to read it. Rather than take things out of context.

You forgot part of it:


6.2. Termination of Section 2.0 Limitations . Section 2.0 shall terminate in its entirety, without the need for any further action by​
Intel, and shall be of no further force or effect if:


Now do me the favour of reading section 2. And tell me if you still believe what you originally claimed.
