Verdict

The AMD A10-8700P is a mid-range Carrizo-based accelerated processing unit (APU) launched in 2015 for mainstream laptops, built on a 28nm manufacturing process. It features four CPU cores (two Excavator modules) with a base clock speed of 1.8 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.2 GHz, alongside an integrated Radeon R6 GPU with 384 shader cores. Major pros include a highly efficient configurable TDP (typically 15W to 35W) that balances performance and power, support for HSA 1.0, and integrated DirectX 12 graphics capable of handling daily multitasking and light multimedia tasks. However, it suffers from aging 28nm architecture which leads to higher heat output and lower power efficiency compared to Intel's contemporary 14nm chips, and its single-core performance and integrated graphics struggle with modern, demanding AAA gaming titles.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about AMD A10 8700P?

  • Integrated Radeon R6 graphics perform exceptionally well for its class, especially when paired with dual-channel memory.
  • Offers a significant performance leap over the previous 'Kaveri' generation APUs.
  • Competitive CPU performance compared to Intel Core i3 processors of its era.
  • Hardware-level support for HEVC/H.265 video decoding through the UVD 6 engine.
  • Excellent value for money in budget-oriented laptops.

What customers dislike about AMD A10 8700P?

  • CPU performance is notably weaker than contemporary Intel Core i5 and i7 counterparts.
  • Aggressive thermal throttling occurs during heavy combined CPU/GPU loads (like gaming), reducing clock speeds significantly.
  • Power efficiency is lower than competing Intel processors despite architectural improvements.
  • Poor performance in modern AAA gaming titles, often resulting in unplayable frame rates.
  • Actual performance is highly dependent on the laptop manufacturer's TDP configuration (12W–35W) and cooling design.
