Notebooks with the new AMD FX-7500 or FX-7600P processor?

[AZmathteacher]

Ever since the new AMD A10s launched I've been looking for a notebook powered by one of the new Kaveri FX chips. I can't find anything for sale in the US. Do any of you all see such a beast?

Black Friday comes and goes, and I have yet to see a laptop with an FX-7600P in it. Come on AMD, where are those design wins you were talking about? Sure you've got one product with the fx-7500 out, but that's not an enthusiast part (and I consider myself a {budget} enthusiast!).

i bring tidings of great news! just in time for christmas 😀 a ASUS laptop with the ​FX-7600P!!!!!!!

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X550ZE/specifications/

it does not have any thing faster then a 1600 MHz DDR3L ram though but just about every thing else.
I'm not sure how good the graphics are though. also it does not seem to be on the market yet but probably will be.

Lol i know how you feel about being an enthusiast on a budget. right now i'm thinking about either building a computer or buying an laptop for a change sense our family has only gotten apple for years and i want something completely different but i'm also on a budget so AMD all the way.
any way i went to best buy and messed around with the hp envy and my impression is its a ok laptop w/a bad screen (reflects way to much) and the processor and graphics were ok but when watching 4 youtube videos in HD and playing runescape on full setting's at the same time it handles it pretty well but starts hiccuping and weird things that my intel macs have never done in the game even if youtube is fine, on the bright side it didn't get hot despite what i've been told.
i wish i could of gotten it to play just cause 2 to tell you how it handles 3D games vs my families intel I5 w/iris gpu.

ill update you later if i get the chance to get one of the employes to put in the password so i can update the drivers and play just cause 2 maybe, or just figure out there passward like i did at sam's club

H Guys.... new to this forum but have just purchased asus fx7600 I'll post some thoughts once I ve had a good play with it.

There seems to be no data about this model ..I searched quite harder and found very little...

lucky you, you live in the uk where they actually sell that asus that i got the link for. ill look forward to seeing how you say it performs though i wonder if the FX-7600P is the same as the FX-7600 in your laptop, and also on the US site it shows its cross fired (AMD Radeon® R5 M230 + Radeon® R7 M270 DX Dual Graphics with 2GB DDR3 VRAM Built-in FX-7600P) correct me if i'm wrong.

I'd like to know if that system supports dual graphics. I am completely unfamiliar with what the fx-7600/fx-7600p (according to amd's website, the fx-7600 doesn't exist; just the fx-7600p) can run in dual graphics mode with. On the desktop, the a10-7850k can only run in dual graphics with up to the r7 250. I have no clue what that means for the fx-7600p and the R7 265M.

And then again, of course, I don't live in the UK, so it may be quite some time yet...

This has been in stores for almost 6 months...I would know, because I'm an HP Rep

It'd make more sense to me for Asus to spend the dough on better memory instead of a dedicated GPU.

i know, there was some talk about that laptop earlier and i've used it before but it doesn't have a 1080p screen but a cheap one instead that reflects a lot. also it doesn't have 8 gigs of ram it has 6 that im pretty sure is soldered to the board.
if they had put some more quality hardware into it (not soldered in) i would be already saving up to get it.

it has up to 12 gigs of ram if you configure it. there is no ssd option but not too many "budget" laptops have that.

When I look at "Configure your HP ENVY - 15z Slim Touch Laptop" on the hp.com store, I can get it with an FX-7500, 8gigs of ram, a 1080p screen, and a 750gb hdd for ~$850.

Not too bad. The ram is 1 dimm (the stock 6gigs is in 2 dimms) so I could drop another one in and double the ram. Unfortunately it's the same ddr3 1600 when everything I've seen says Kaveri should use at least DDR3 1833.

Anyways, the HP Envy is a possibility, but I don't like HP so much and I'm hoping other options open up.

actually you can hybrid crossfire it, that's the appeal of the AMD APUs

Decided to track thread, thought I would pop in and share my opinion.

In my opinion, I cannot see ANY reason to put a Kaveri APU in the same notebook as a mid-high-end GPU. It cannot run in dual graphics with it, and there are much better purely-CPU processors out there for the price. If MSI is going to further bottleneck the APU by using slow RAM, I can see no compelling reason to choose that laptop over one with an I5/I7 in it.

Main selling points I would be looking for in a laptop with the fx-7600p:
- fast RAM: at least 1866 speed, preferably faster. At least 4GB+ in volume, obviously.
- No discrete GPU (assuming a correspondingly low price... I mean, I'm not going to refuse a discrete GPU if it comes cheap) - dual graphics is great and all, but it doesn't offer as compelling a price/performance or power efficiency story as just the APU alone.
- 5400 RPM 1TB+ HDD OR a 128GB+ SSD. Preferably both, but as I'm unfamiliar with the realistic pricing of laptops, I'm not too sure that it's reasonable.
- 720p or 1080p screen, personally it doesn't matter much to me (a lower-resolution screen just means a higher framerate to me, and in most recent games the switch from 1080p to 720p brings frame rate from playable to smooth at low settings) - what DOES matter is that it isn't overly reflective, has good picture quality and has a good viewing angle
- standard laptop goodies. A keyboard (duh), a nice high-capacity battery, bluetooth, a radio for wireless internet connectivity, a (hopefully high-ish detail) webcam, USB 3.0, etc.
- sub-$700 price (HP's $1000+ business laptops with lower-end APUs are scaring me).

Do those features seem reasonable for that price? It's around what I have available for the laptop purchase I'm looking to make, and I'm hoping I can get an fx-7600p-based laptop with those features for around that amount.

Whislt you may be able to hybrid crossfire the fx7600p with an r9 discrete card it kinda misses the point.

If you are forking out for an r9 gfx card then you may as well stick a decent cpu in there instead (i5/i7) which will result in much better performance for about the same money.

The allure of the fx-7600p is that it's low power (small box, which the Asus is certainly not they're 15/17") and cheap. So with the onboard r7 crossfired with a discrete r7 you get enough computing/graphics power to run modern games at ~40 fps with low enough tdp to squeeze it into a 12-13" box, and hopefully a pricetag round the £500 mark.

Pairing the fx7600p with a r9 gfx card is just poorly thought out and sadly will result in low sales so AMD get shafted by the unimaginative OEMs again.

How do u rate Asus zze model? Config OK?

Is probably the best looking spec I have seen so far.

Shame the discrete gpu seems to be only an r5 and you need to be sure to get the fx-7600p and the 1080p screen.

My two personal objections are that it's Asus, and I remember some of thier earlier build quality issues. They seem better now, but I'd want a good look at one before purchasing. It's also 15" which is a couple of inches too large for my liking.

Might be a good machine to buy and then upgrade (to an r7 M265(X) and at least 1833Mhz memory, preferably 2133Mhz) But I do not know if the case and motherboard would support that configuration. It's a shame it doesn't come with that configuration.

 

[AZmathteacher]

Hmm. Now I'm hearing about AMD's new Carrizo processors coming out this year. Maybe OEMs didn't run to the FX-7600p because they new something better would be out shortly.

I still haven't seen anything for sale in the US with an FX-7600P in it. Suspect I'm not going to.

the FX 7500 does not support memory higher than 1600. Only the 7600p does that.

Found a nice deal on an HP ENVY m6-n113dx with a FX-7500 for only $450.

Asus have better specs, ASUS N551ZU :

it seem good specs (sorry for my bad english)
