Notes

Readers should note that the FX-7600P was benchmarked as part of an engineering sample laptop that won't be made available to purchase. As a result, we aren't testing the laptop itself but rather the capabilities of the underlying APU. We have a range of CPUs for comparison, including two mobile parts from Intel: the 11.5W Core i5-4210Y and the 15W Core i5-4250U. We're planning to add results from a 37W mobile Intel CPU as soon as we get our hands on one.
