AMD A10 + Radeon R5

[psy131]

how can i know how much hash rate this GPU & CPU can produce ?

as far as i understand APU's are not used (or rather the Radeaon R5 part) as GPU in miners ... you can only use CPU miners.

And i guess, you have to download a miner and test it with a pool .... or check online calculators

some sites list CPUs performance for some algorithms

Radeon R5 ? How old is that thing ? I doubt pretty much that you'll even make the mining software work.

The GPU on an A10 is in the same ballpark of performance (in the current A10 - 78xx line) as the old AMD HD7750 (same number of cores, near-identical clock, loses a little due to the slower RAM involved).

 While it IS useable for mining coins that don't need in excess of 2GB RAM access (forget ETH/ETC and varients), it's not exactly a high-end mining GPU nor it is highly energy efficient.

 Older and lower-end A10s have less cores, and often clock lower, so even WORSE performance.


 No, I don't bother trying to mine on my A10 GPUs for a profit - they do earn some Gridcoin but that's a side-effect of my long-time participation in the distributed.net project, more recently via BOINC's Moo Wrapper project. I suspect the gridcoin they earn MIGHT pay for the electric usage, but it's close if they do and forget every trying to ROI on this.
