At Computex 2016 held the final announcement of hybrid processors AMD 7-th generation, which used to be known by the code names and Bristol Ridge Stoney Ridge. The beginning of deliveries of these processors the company's clients were informed at the beginning of April.
According to AMD, the new models of hybrid processors allow laptops to play longer and with better graphics (performance). Current processors Bristol Ridge and Stoney Ridge focused exclusively on the notebook market. While AMD has refused to even say anything about desktop processors. Both families are based on the computational core and GPU Excavator GCN 1.2. Bristol Ridge Models come in the lines FX, A12 and A10 - is all four core models, and processors Stoney Ridge or A9, A6 and E2 are dual-core. Large APU Bristol Ridge and Stoney Ridge - processors 6th generation (Carrizo) with added DDR4 memory controller. But there are some changes at the architectural level and in terms of improving the 28-nm process technology.
According to AMD, the 7th generation APU got even more optimized 28-nm process technology than previous solutions. Also, updates are implemented improved governance arrangements voltage and frequency. Improved built-in temperature sensors to the controller STAPM (Skin Temperature Aware Power Management) and implemented with the help of AVFS (adaptive voltage frequency scaling) algorithms provide a short-term increase in the frequency and voltage based on the current operating temperature of APU. Thus, thanks to these improvements, productivity can be increased by up to 56% compared with the same scenarios for Kaveri APU generation, or by 10% compared with the APU Carrizo.
Separately, it should be said about the models Stoney Ridge. Now the whole range of mobile AMD processors based on the same core Excavator. Thus, the company has tightened considerably lower platform, providing the same increase in graphics performance by up to 50%. Add, APU A12 are positioned as competitors to processors Intel Core i5-6200U, and APU A9 as Intel Core i3-6100U rivals.
