Power Consumption and Temperatures
Power Consumption
The APU consumes significantly more power than Intel’s dual-core rival and AMD still lingers behind in this area. Saying that, it’s not the fairest comparison because the iGPU portion is more capable and the extra two CPU cores increase the wattage demands.
Temperatures
Using HWInfo to monitor the product’s thermal values, it’s clear that the APU remains relatively cool under load. Also, the overclock doesn’t make a huge impact and only caused the APU’s temperature to raise by 2C.
