Working of AMD CPUs "Kaveri" line up

[Syama]

Regarding AMD latest cpus 'Kaveri' series - how they are working ?! among all the kaveri processors which is working good for rendering & video work from view point of power,performance and speed.

Why would you get a quad Kaveri chip for rendering in the first place? Depending on your budget a FX-8320 or a FX-8350 would be much better for rendering.

FX OK but problem is much heat and tdp.If these problems resolved,prefer to go for kavery line up

The flagship Kaveri APU is at most provides about (but not quite) a 6% performance increase in video rendering compared to the flagship Richland APU. In one case, it has almost a 3% performance penalty.

Below are performance charts from Anandtech. Unfortunately they leave out AMD FX series CPUs. Direct link to the page with the charts is as follows:

Based on the charts, the Core i3 is likely the winner if you are looking for a processor with low TDP, but high performance. The only time when the i3-4330 (54w TDP) CPU losses to the A10-7850k (95w TDP) is in the ultra HD 4k resolution test run for Handbrake where the A10 APU outperforms the i3 CPU by 8%.

I don't know why people make such a big deal of the FX chips power usage. In the real world the difference is not that relevant. It is not a server chip that will be running 24/7 under full load. The FX-8320 has a higher multi-threaded score than even the i5-3570k in Cinebench r11.5:

I highly recommend this chip if you are doing rendering and video editing.

As Kaveri is developed version, we may expect some advanced features.

Imagine,6 cores for GPU! Audio output. With 8 gb ram,seems like a beast

We have yet to see an APU with more than 4 cores. The APU performance in CPU intensive tasks suffer enough from having almost half of the die occupied by the iGPU. But who knows, maybe AMD will be able to pull it off. Whether that will be relevant performance wise or not remains to be unknown, specially if the AMD chips keep lagging that far behind Intel chips in single threaded prowess.
