Benchmarks: System

PCMark is used to measure overall system performance, with the 'Home' test including workloads that reflect common tasks for a typical user. The latest version of the benchmark uses multi-threaded workloads and OpenCL acceleration, making it the near-perfect test for an AMD APU.

Making things interesting, we've graphed the date in two ways: actual score and score per watt. The FX-7600P with four Steamroller cores allied to 512 shaders is a robust combination when modern workloads are applied.

SiSoft is another system-wide performance evaluation and the FX-7600P is once again almost as quick as a 100W Richland APU, which is impressive for a 35W chip.

But let's not ignore the obvious. AMD continues to play second fiddle to Intel in the CPU stakes, so it's up to the FX7600P's integrated Radeon R7 graphics to balance the scales. A 3DMark score of 1,279 suggests that this is indeed one the most powerful mobile graphics solutions to date, but is it enough to drive a proper gaming experience?
