Is this because of different CPU used or?

Of course if you have an Intel board then this doesn't work out, but if you happen to already have an FM2 CPU then it might be interesting to check out.
1. you need an FM2+ mobo to run Kaveri, not FM2
2. Kaveri graphics are the same architecture/generation as R7 260/X but has fewer CUs and runs at lower clock speeds... so 250X and higher dGPUs should all be fasterTest signature

Slightly on / off topic, to all the AMD guys in the forums... grats on Kaveri Got a MicroATX build coming together for a slightly overclocked integrated-only microATX build for light to medium gaming and i've only heard good things about similar builds. I know some reviewers gave Kaveri a couple docked points because of CPU performance in some cases, but I am very much looking forward to dropping in Carrizo next year and seeing what AMD can do at 65TDP and Excavator.All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.
