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. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

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. "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor |
