The AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-5745M Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon HD 8610G graphics, 2.1-2.9GHz clock speed, and 4MB of cache, is a higher-end part in AMD’s CPU line for the thin and light laptops. It’s an alternative to the Intel Core-series ultrabook processors. The AMD Elite series generally provide a lower performance-per-Watt ratio than the latest Intel Core counterparts, but they are cheaper and can lower the price of the laptop. In addition, four cores on the AMD chips isn’t comparable to the same number of cores on the respective Intel CPUs, because the former supports two computing treads per core. AMD’s quad-core with a single treand per core rather corresponds to Intel’s dual-core.
That doesn’t mean the A10-5745M is incapable of completing your daily home and office tasks effortlessly and, as a big plus, it has faster integrated graphics than Intel on similar processors.
According to the PassMark benchmark results, the A10-5745M has speed on par with the A8-4500M from the previous AMD laptop CPU generation. However, the benchmarked A10-5745M is much more power efficient, which leads to a longer battery life on laptops with it. It consumes 25 Watts, while the A8-4500M is a 35-Watt part. On the other side, the comparable and commonly used 15-Watt Intel i5-4200U from the latest 4th Generation Intel Core family is noticeably faster, despite having much lower power consumption.
As a plus, the aforementioned Radeon HD 8610G graphics is faster than the corresponding Intel 4400-series. It has a PassMark GPU score of 651 versus 506 points of the Intel HD 4400.
On Youtube, there are a couple of videos showing what gaming looks like on this processor. In newer games, you’ll get playable framerates at lower graphics detail settings and resolution.

I own the exact laptop but with 4Gb graphics memory, 8Gb of ram n 2.9GH,really great machine. It runs Call of duty Ghost, Far Cry 4,Advanced Warefare, at ultra graphics settings… only in watchdogs i have to lower the settings to High.. but apart from that its a great machine
I have a question how did you get your laptop to play games such as those, cause mine am trying to install the amd drivers they result I get is that they are all incompatible with my laptop.
could you help me out?
I have an HP Ash Silver 17.3″ Pavilion 17-f019wm Laptop that has this processor and the Radeon HD 8610g graphics card, the AMD catalyst control center says my maximum is 2.1 GHz, how do i push it to 2.9 GHz?
use amd overdrive
Hola, tengo esa pc AMD A10-5745M Radeon HD 8610G y 12 gb de memoria ram.
Me dijeron donde la compre que el video podia llevarlo a 4 gb, en este momento tiene 768 mb, como puedo pasar ram a el video y dejarlo en 2 o 3 gb?
saludos!
How does the AMD radeon HD 8610g / 8670m compare with intel hd 4600 graphics? I’m looking at two laptops one with the AMD A10 5745m and one with the intel core i5 4200m. I want to be able to play game at a decent framerate (games like; arma 2/3, minecraft (with mods), dayZ standalone) I will also need the laptop for university but I will probably only using word and powerpoint. I was just wondering what laptop I would be better off getting, they are both HP laptops and all the other specs are the same.
I have this sleek book and I play a ton of games right now I’m playing borderlands 2 for the second time on PC and it runs at about 30fps at lowest settings but I did happen to play some minecraft and it ran at a smooth 90fps and arms 2 at about 30fps.
DayZ Standalone is a tricky one, but that because by default it is laggy
trust me the AMD runs both ARMA games with ultra graphics settings… though i dont like that Game tooo Realistic
I’m just need it for editing videos from my camcorder: nothing professional. I know this one http://www.pccomponentes.com/msi_cx61_2pc_1215xes_i7_4712mq_8gb_1tb_gt820m_15_6_.html is 3 times faster than this one, which is not expensive at all, but there is 200€ between them. http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00FF03SIG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=MOVIXCQHLY13&coliid=I3N4U0MD3BOTHJ
Greetings from Spain and thank you very much for your help. :-)
Is this processor enough for making simple home videos? Thanks.
It will be good, but there are better solutions for video editing on the market. I always prefer the Intel i5 and i7 for video editing, especially if you use software with QuickSync support. QuckSync is included in the i3/i5/i7 chips and speeds up encoding a lot.
Would you please provide your feedback on these two laptops.

My question is which one is better for pushing resource intensive software “Photoshop”. I’m looking for speed when loading and working my photographs while using Photoshop & if they will help with web browsing (this item is secondary), Thank you in advance for all your assistance.
PassMark benchmark shows huge advantage of the Intel i7 over the AMD A10 with scores of about 3900 versus 2800 points. I haven’t tested these chips under Photoshop, but I strongly assume the i7 will perform better. Other specs are OK, but if you can replace the hard drive with an SSD you’ll see an overall major improvement. https://laptoping.com/laptop-ssd-vs-hdd-2014-comparison-test.html
