AMD introduced the 7 th generation of APU for notebooks: Bristol Ridge and Stoney Ridge



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. Since this notebook processors, it took time, so that they appeared as part of the finished product

According to AMD, the new models of hybrid processors allow laptops to play longer and with better graphics (performance). Current processors and Bristol Ridge 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. By and large APU Bristol Ridge and Stoney Ridge - it 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.

Separately, it should be said about the models of Stoney Ridge. Earlier in the junior category of solutions, AMD offered a "cat" kernel (separate pristavochnikam hello!). 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 processors Intel Core i5-6200U, and APU A9 as the Intel Core i3-6100U rivals.
