The used A10-8700P, a 1.8 up to 3.2 GHz fast quad-core processor, sits directly between its siblings A8-8600P (1.6-3.0 GHz) and FX-8800P (2.1-3.4 GHz). Compared to Intel, the APU is primarily a rival for the Core i3-series, which is also represented by the current pricing.
Noteworthy: AMD does not set a specific consumption value for Carrizo and only specifies a TDP range (12-35 Watts) that the notebook manufacturer can use. The majority of OEMs will probably conform
with Intel’s TDP classes in the future (to use identical cooling solutions) – the TDP in this case was probably configured to the common 15 Watts.
