Carrizo L and Mainstream Carrizo or two different products, like someone said in comments.  Here in US, Toshiba 15.6" with that processor is $429 direct from Toshiba. Envy 15.6" Real Carrizo A10-8700P $500.  I don't get why AMD tries to match up with Intel budget N3540.  It does not provide enough value in real PC's, battery, or features to break away from budget performance Intel. It's like OEM's asked for this to keep prices in check for budget Intel. Mainstream real Carrizo A8 8600 should be standard going forward for their lower laptop processor from AMD.  AMD should be like this what we got going forward sorry OEM's, we are not here just bargain tool for lower prices with Intel budget processors.  Remove this line as it hurts there mainstream marketing efforts.

That's a lot of work in there but there's no way easy to read and compare the charts.

Anyway, Carrizo needs higher TDP limit to see it's potential as it is 28nm part.  I have a Celeron 1000m laptop from a 22nm generation but the TDP is around 35 watts.  This thing is fast despite the low cost and Celeron branding. 

High TDP in a laptop is still useful when it is plugged in.  Laptops at home, I reckon, are usually powered from the wall. 

I just feel bad for Carrizzo though, it looks great on paper but the process node.  It is too far behind compared to Intel's 22nm parts which is getting cheaper fast.  I actually bought a cheap laptop a few hours ago with an i5-5200u as I am so intrigued with the Broadwell chips.

You do know that this was in no way, shape or form a carrizo chip, right?
This was carrizo-L
The "L" matters.
It's a totally different architecture from the carrizo.
If you look at the carrizo however you'll see that it actually performs quite well in a performance pr watt comparison.

Cinebench R15 Multithread score is 175 and cant be achived otherwise than with the CPU running at 2.12GHz, same with the Single Thread score wich require 2.5GHz, this is correlated by the A8-6410 scores. :o

In Cinebench 11.5 the ST/MT scores should be 0.6/2.15 as it s about impossible that it run CB R15 at said frequencies and wouldnt do so in CB 11.5.

Overall this review obviously lack precision, to say the least.
