AMD Kaveri A10-7850K Overclocking Analysis

Productivity Performance

Adobe Photoshop CC

Just about every creative digital project has Photoshop CC at its core. The world’s most advanced image editing app lets you enhance, retouch, and manipulate photographs and other images in any way you can imagine. Download here.

Photoshop CC performance was already ridiculously fast so I didn’t expect to see much of a change with the overclock, we saw about a 1 second improvement but as its within margin of error it really is too close to call.

MuseMage

Musemage is the world’s first fully functional GPU-powered photo editing software with advanced features and simple user interface. Thanks to the GPU accelerated filters, musemage has ultra fast speed and real-time visual feedbacks. Download here.

Musemage loves AMD GPUs and so I’m not surprised to see a drastic jump in performance from the 42% frequency overclock. If you use Musemage for photo editing you can see the huge productivity potential here from overclocking.

LibreOffice

LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. Download here.

In LibreOffice we saw around a 20% reduction in calculation times using OpenCL GPU acceleration so the benefits are substantial. Again I cannot stress enough how important I think this will be for AMD’s next generation FirePro APUs.
