AMD A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics vs AMD A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics: Comparison
A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics vs A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics: the p-core boost clock difference
P-core boost clock is the dividing line, A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics 2.4 GHz against A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics 3.0 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 4 MB on the A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics, and the pattern holds. Memory channels runs the same way, 1 on the A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 2 on the A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics, another win for A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics. Base power is not the same on both, 15 W on the A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 20 W on the A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics. They differ on memory type too, DDR3L, 1-Channel, Up to 1866 MT/s on the A8-6410 with Radeon R5 Graphics versus DDR3, 2-Channel, Up to 1600 MT/s on the A8-7100 with Radeon R5 Graphics.
Who each one is for
