Amd a12-9800 tested with an asus a320m motherboard

The German PC enthusiast "Crashtest" has been made with a very interesting combo, consisting of an AMD A12-9800 processor "Bristol Ridge" and an ASUS A320M-C motherboard, which corresponds to the input range of the new platform AM4, all at a cost of just 200 euros and that has been tested to see its performance.

AMD A12-9800 is tested on AIDA64

The set has been completed with a total of 8 GB of DDR4-2133 memory in dual-chanel configuration to be able to extract all the performance to the processor. The platform has been passed through AIDA64 to show what it is capable of offering users. In the memory section, it offers a performance similar to that offered by older platforms based on DDR3 technology, the integrated memory controller K15.6 is not capable of taking advantage of DDR4 at the same level that the current Skylake platform from Intel does. something that on the other hand was already to be expected, being the memory controller one of the weakest points of the last generations of AMD processors. Fortunately , Ryzen is expected to offer a great improvement in this regard to bring it to a level very similar to that of Intel.

In the CPU performance section we do not see any surprises either, offering a level of performance very similar to that of its predecessors, such as the A10-7850K belonging to the Kaveri series and which has a very similar configuration formed by two Excavator core modules. If some improvements are seen in tests such as Hash and VP8 in which the new processor benefits from the new built-in instructions.
