Which would crunch more units
An 8 core fx8350 or

A quad-core A8-5500k APU with opencl installed???

the 8 core of course. The quad with onboard APU, for GPU crunching, isn's as robust as a stand alone 8 core CPU.

FX-8350

4 Modules/8 Cores at 4-4.2GHz with a 8MB L3 cache

A8-5500

2 Modules/4 Cores at 3.2-3.7GHz, no L3 cache
HD 7560D with 256 cores at 760MHz

So the question is whether or not an HD 7560D is faster than 5 cores (need to idle one for GPU work on the A8-5500) running 25% faster?

Yea, that would be no.

The HD 7560D could do 2-3 times the work of one CPU core but not 5.
