The AMD A8-7600 was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in July 2014. It is part of the A8 lineup, using the Kaveri architecture with Socket FM2+. A8-7600 has 4 MB of L2 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the A8-7600 on a 28 nm production process using 2,411 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on A8-7600, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 65 W, the A8-7600 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2133 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, A8-7600 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon R7 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A8-7600, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
