Hi All
![Smile Smile](https://hashcat.net/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
wanted to ask, did anybody already test a AMD series "A" system with hashcat?
Im asking because this new generation CPU has the GPU inside (!!! found out only few hours ago..
![Smile Smile](https://hashcat.net/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
) e.g. the latest AMD A10-5800K has a HD7660 GPU integrated inside.. so, I was wandering - is hashcat working better on these integrated GPU? or we better continue sticking with the external GPU cards?

You know, having an integrated GPU sounds to me cheaper/less overheating/less consumption/less noisy/space save - than the usual external GPU cards.. but who knows, if performances are getting worst..

Your not going to get anywhere near the performance on an APU as your are on a dedicated GPU.

now crysis, i want you to think for a second: how big is the cooling solution on a gpu? now, how big is the stock cooling solution that ships with an apu? gpus have external power connectors; how many watts does a cpu socket support?
the integrated gpu on the A10-5800K is not a "HD7660" -- it's a "HD 7660D." just like the M series, the model numbers do not align with the mainstream product line. and the D series is actually less powerful than the M series.
so apu cracking is even less advantageous than the already unadvantageous laptop cracking.

Don't know about desktop apus, but in my notebook there're 2 gpus - 7670M & 6620G.
I don't know which of them is inside the cpu, but they're more or less comparable. 710 Gflops & 852 Gflops. The strongest gives out 18000 wpa c/s, the other one does 12000 c/s.

the 7670M would be the discrete gpu, and the 6620G would be the integrated GPU.
