Kaveri and APUNB scaling (Crossblade Ranger tested)

I tested few days ago new ROG board Asus Crossblade Ranger and with my alone A10-7850K chip I would like how good is 7850K with different APUNB frequency. Ussually are Kaveri lazy go higher than 1950 MHz at APUNB... I tested it in Superpi 32M, Cinebench R11.5 and in 3D Mark11. So...

CPU 4400 MHz APUNB 1800 MHz (stock), iGPU 800 MHz
15m03s / 4.20pts/ 2758pts






CPU 4400 MHz APUNB 1900 MHz, iGPU 800 MHz
14m 56s/ 4.21pts/ 2768pts






CPU 4400 MHz APUNB 2000 MHz, iGPU 800 MHz
14m 51s/ 4.23pts/ 2783pts







The 2100 MHz was not possible get stable for 32M, so I must set differents values near the 4400 MHz. Of course, the iGPU is now at higher clocks than before (816 MHz). CPU a bit lower frequencies.
CPU 4385 MHz APUNB 2040 MHz, iGPU 816 MHz
14m 46s/ 4.19pts/ 2835pts






So we can see nice improvement in SUperpi 32M. +100 MHz at APUNB is similar as 400 MHz APUNB at Richland! In last case with lower CPU clock is 32M again better than before! +240 MHz at APUNB bring you -17s at least. For CInebench are little extra points - with exactly same the CPU clock +0,03 points and in 3D Mark (only three results, not the last one) +23 points.

For fun, my average chip and 32M run:


This CPU is very good in 32M, some 6.1 GHz LN2 chip could hit around 10min 32M or less!

I learned a little something on this one, as usual. (you have the AMD touch). thnks FlanK. .c.

no problem, btw with high iGPU or APUNB voltage (around 1.3 V or more) be carefull for VRM heat - must set next fan to cool it.

Nice! What voltage are you pushing the NB at? I think this is why my base clock OCs are falling short as it goes to 1900 it crashes at 1.2V

I used 1.35 V, for benchmakrs it is still OK, only VRM is hotter (I used next 120mm fan to cool north VRM area which is hotter)
