AMD Kaveri Arrives: A8-7600 APU Review
Power Consumption
Throughout all of our benchmarking and testing, we also monitored how much power our test systems consumed using a power meter. Our goal was to give you all an idea as to how much power each configuration used while idling and while under a heavy workload. Please keep in mind that we were testing total system power consumption at the outlet here, not just the power being drawn by the processors alone.

What's worth noting is that despite offering much better overall performance, the A8-7600's power consumption (when in 45w TDP mode) is only marginally higher than the A8-6500T, but significantly lower than the A10-6800K.
