I've been testing 4.5 GHz on my HTPC A10-7850K today and am curious if anyone else has run CINEBENCH R15. I just tried it and got a score of 172 multi core which put me just below a i5 3317U which is odd because I should be twice as fast as this processor. Hope someone could chime in on this.

My Athlon X4 880K at default clock speeds (4.0-4.2 GHz) is doing 90 on singlecore and 327 with multicore. I would assume that either your CPU is throttling because of improper cooling, or your mainboard is throttling the CPU because of VRM overheating. Sadly many FM2/FM2+ boards had very weak VRMs which got too hot very quickly.

I get 302 on mine at stock
Could be a heat thing causing down-clocking.
I have not OC'd by CPU but I did OC my iGPU, saw my best frame-rate at 900, at 960 I got a definite FPS drop
You can run HWmonitor next to cinebench and watch whats happening

Still use my A10-7850K on Asus A88X-Plus with 2133 ram as daily general purpose PC. Does everything I need perfectly.. no need to upgrade just for the hell of it. Kinda fun to see an entire PC with hardly anything installed on the motherboard...lol...
Long live old AMD hardware!

According to my voltage chart for it you can run the 7850K at 4.2GHz for those CPU Volts. That was tested on Prime95 on an ASUS A88X-Pro after a year of use.

Did 10 runs IBT on high setting with 4.4Ghz@1.36v (set bios) & heavily OC RAM. Memtest86 ok for 2133Mhz@1.55v
The 3003 bios helps a lot.

My cpu cooler needs upgrading, the one used in that test is Thermaltake NiC4 from 2013 with single 120mm Noctua fan, its a push-pull design but in this case only pushing. Himo5 thanks for linking to that table, most interesting.

That's a good chip you have there to do 4.4 at 1.36V with an Nic4. The best mine ever did was 5GHz at 1.536V on a single core but I did quite a few benchmarks with it at 4.8Ghz/1.512V on all 4. I doubt if it could do that now, though.

Does this also apply to the Athlon X4 760K

The X4 760K was the top of the Athlon section of 2013's Richland series of Piledriver chips, which was the previous generation to the Kaveri A10-7850K.
The Athlon range were lower binned APU's with disabled iGpus, so they did not quite have the same overclocking ability as the APU equivalent.
The difference between Piledriver and Steamroller (Kaveri) was that the latter is able to share memory between the iGpu and the CPU whereas Piledriver has to use a seperate bus.
In frequency terms the top Richland APU, the A10-6800K, was the fastest of all the APUs that AMD have produced so far, being easily overclockable on air into the 5.0-5.3GHz range, however, it can't keep up with Steamroller chips running at much lower frequencies, it was rated to run at 4100MHz/1.15V base 4400MHz/1.325V boost.
The X4 760K was rated to run at 3800MHz/1.3V base, 4100MHz/1.35V boost so can't really claim to be a disabled A10-6800K, however, it has a good record of 5GHz+ overclocking, although it's best not to go past 1.5V on the VCore.

Thanks, I didn't know this until 3003 bios for my board (Asus A88X plus) its AMD AGESA CarizzoFM2r2PI v1.2.0.2x and then attempted new OC runs.
