AMD A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics vs AMD A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D: Comparison
A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics vs A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D: the p-core boost clock difference
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics Up to 3.2 GHz against A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D 4.1 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics versus 4 MB on the A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D, and the pattern holds. There is a split on release year as well, 2015 on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics versus 2013 on the A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D. They differ on igpu too, AMD Radeon R6 Graphics on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics versus AMD Radeon HD 8570D on the A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D. They differ on market segment too, Laptop on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics versus Desktop on the A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D.
Who each one is for
The A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics suits A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not built for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. The A8-6500B with Radeon HD 8570D is the one to take for A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is the wrong buy for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds.
