AMD A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics vs AMD A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics: Comparison
A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics vs A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics: the p-core boost clock difference
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics 2.4 GHz against A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics 3.3 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics versus 4 MB on the A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics, and the pattern holds. Memory channels runs the same way, 1 on the A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics versus 2 on the A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics, another win for A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics. There is a split on base power as well, 15 W on the A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics versus 100 W on the A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics. Memory type is not the same on both, DDR3L, 1-Channel, Up to 1866 MT/s on the A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics versus DDR3, 2-Channel, Up to 1866 MT/s on the A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics.
A6-7310 with Radeon R4 Graphics vs A8-7200P with Radeon R5 Graphics: which one fits your build
