Amd bristol ridge (a12-9800) faces kaveri (a10

After the official announcement of the new AMD Bristol Ridge processors (Excavator) we have had little to wait to see the first tests and the performance improvement they offer compared to the previous generation Kaveri that is based on the Steamroller microarchitecture. AMD Bristol Ridge (A12-9800) faces Kaveri (A10-7890K).

AMD A12-9800 first performance tests

The tests have been done comparing an AMD A12-9800, maximum exponent of Bristol Ridge, with an A10-7890k, maximum exponent of Kaveri. The AMD A12-9800 (65W) processor consists of a total of four Excavator cores at a maximum frequency of 4.20 GHz along with Radeon R7 graphics with 512 Stream Processors at a frequency of 1108 MHz. This processor has been the faces with the A10-7870K (95W) with four 3.90 / 4.10 GHz Steamroller cores and the Radeon R7 graphics with 512 Shaders Processors at 866 MHz.

The new AMD A12-9800 processor has shown performance differences of 20% and 5% compared to its predecessor in the Rise of Tomb Raider and Total War: Warhammer video games, in both cases under Directx 12 and with a GeForce GTX 1070 As a brand-new companion, only its CPU performance has been evaluated. We continue with PCMark 8 and 3DMark in which the improvement has been 10 and 15 percent using the same graphics card.

Some improvements that do not seem very large but are especially praiseworthy if we consider that AMD has managed to reduce consumption by a total of 30W in addition to improving performance, thereby achieving that the new A12-9800 processor is up to 20 degrees cooler on the same stage, something that makes it much better for building very compact systems with remarkable performance.
