Experiment with overclocking AMD A12-9800 generation Bristol Ridge to 4.8 GHz with regular cooler Wraith inspired many. First, it showed that 28 nm processors AMD still able to demonstrate a good frequency potential. Second, the factor "48x" give reason to think that at least a part of this family of processors will get a free multiplier and Socket AM4 platform will be popular among budget overclockers.
In the retail processors Bristol Ridge will appear closer to the end of the year . The good news: the new processors should maintain "price parity" with Kaveri / Godavari.
The organization of access to the memory will not be a surprises. As explained by colleagues, all processors Socket AM4 will only work with dual-channel memory - the future appearance of processors with four-channel memory access organization is possible.That is, they may appear, but will have is another design concept. At least in the server segment, the number of memory channels will be more than four - Naples Zen architecture processors will be able to work with the eight-channel memory.
With regard to the free multiplier, then here AMD abstains from promises. The company claims that the existing configuration Bristol Ridge market ready PC overclocking will not be supported.
