The 7 th generation APU A series (code name Bristol Ridge) APU announcement. Incidentally, although it is said to be "the seventh generation", it is the optimized version of the sixth generation Carrizo, the basic design has not been changed.


Graphic performance is increased by 50% compared with rival Intel Core i7.


Power consumption can be reduced by 38%.


Up 50% better than codename Kaveri.


That's why AMD's senior vice president Jim Anderson began publishing.


The mobile APU that began with Llano reached the seventh generation Bristol Ridge.


AMD of leader in GPU performance of notebook PC. Bristol Ridge also allows playback of 4K streaming movies. HEVC (H.265) andAMD FreeSyncIt also said that it corresponds.


"AMD has put a special passion on the game field," Anderson said. That attitude is the same not only for desktop PCs but also for mobile PCs such as laptops.


Bristol Ridge's FX 9800P has a performance 50% higher than Intel Core i7-6500U.


That is why the 4K movie playback demonstration started.


In the case of not supporting HEVC, 4K movie playback is choked, 4K movies can be played smoothly with HEVC compatible with a high compression ratio and a small file size.


Next is a demo of the game image.


FreeSync


FRTC


Virtual Super ResolutionEtc. It has high gaming performance thanks.


4K, not only the game but also high productivity is appealed. 28% in the spreadsheet, 44% in the file compression, 43% in the Photoshop, both said that the CPU performance is greatly improved more than the previous generation.


Furthermore, at Bristol Ridge, not only performance but also energy consumption has been reduced by 25% due to the evolution of DDR 4 compliant & AVFS with low power consumption.


In 3D modeling and games, CPU and GPU operate efficiently.



In video decoding,UVDHas contributed to efficiency improvement.


Even video chat and multitasking work efficiently. Not only does it increase operating speed, but also that productivity will be high even from the point that continuous driving time becomes long.



Because the demand for notebook PCs with prices less than $ 400 (about 44,000 yen) is high, we plan to launch "A9" processor for this market. In addition, Mr. Anderson said that it is aiming to partner with Microsoft, HP, DELL, etc. to incorporate the value market.


The APU list that was announced as such is like this. In the value market, the A9 processor will be fighting the Intel Core i3 series.


In addition, this time only to announce the mobile version of Bristol Ridge, there was no announcement of desktop version Bristol Ridge sharing the AM 4 socket with the Zen generation CPU.

At the end of the presentation, at the end of the announcement, AMD's Ricer Su CE said "development is going well, very good performance" about the CPU of the code name "Summit Ridge" that adopts the next generation microarchitecture "Zen" A report was issued.


This is Summit Ridge. Summit Ridge has improved performance by 40% on IPC than before, CPU with 8 cores 16 threads. We will ship Summit Ridge and AM4 platform within a few months.


The character of Zen says that it was created with PC equipped with Summit Ridge is like this.
