According to popular belief, AMD Excavator architecture desktop processors will appear only in the next year. It will be hybrid processors Bristol Ridge. Formally Excavator can already be found in the serial system blocks. The recently announced models AMD APU Carrizo come, including as part of desktop PC Lenovo M79 Tower and HP EliteDesk 705 Micro Tower, as well as in a number of decisions in a compact form factor SFF. Solutions based on Excavator cores and graphics Radeon third generation GCN will be prescribed in a whole range of embedded solutions - medical equipment, digital advertising boards, in-sale terminals, industrial equipment and similar devices. To do this, AMD has produced a new series APU R with all the charms of a new platform: graphics level 4K, with support for DDR4 memory , with full support for heterogeneous calculations HSA 1.0 and built-in hardware-protected ARM TrustZone.
The new models R Series APU platform include AMD Merlin Falcon. Initially presented five models: three hybrid processor and two without integrated graphics. Controller solutions except DDR4 memory can support memory type DDR3. It is interesting to note that in the first quarter of 2016 are expected APU R model lineup iTemp with operating temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 105 degrees. In conventional models R operating temperatures are in the range of 0-90 degrees. Another notable moment - the current version of the mobile APU Carrizo DDR4 memory type is not supported.
A significant advantage of the new R-Series APU became the SoC-layout. Southbridge formed in the same fabrication process and on the same chip as the processor. Mounting plates become smaller, simpler, and decrease consumption of power management. Consumption decisions will not exceed 15-35 watts depending on the model. The number of cores will be two or four. In models with integrated graphics core will add 4, 6 or 8 cores configured from stream processors. Each hybrid processor can connect up to three displays. Also compatible with the ecosystem of Windows and Linux .
