Processors announced amd bristol ridge

AMD has unveiled its 7th generation APUs based on the Bristol Ridge platform that uses Excavator cores, the latest iteration of a Bulldozer microarchitecture that is already retiring for the benefit of Zen.

AMD Bristol Ridge puts the finishing touch on Bulldozer architecture

The new AMD Bristol Ridge APUs will be officially launched during Computex Taipei 2016 and are characterized by being based on Excavator cores with great energy efficiency, allowing a slight increase in the final performance of the equipment while considerably lengthening the battery life.

AMD Bristol Ridge processors arrive to succeed Carrizo with slight performance enhancements per clock cycle making them the fastest APUs AMD has released to the market. AMD talks about improvements of up to 40% against Kaveri and 15% against Carrizo, figures that are quite remarkable, especially in the case of the improvement against APU Kaveri based on Steamroller cores. This improvement is accompanied by a reduction in energy consumption, so they are much more suitable chips to be used in portable equipment.

HP Envy X360 to debut Bristol Ridge processors

The HP Envy X360 will be the first computers to build on the new AMD Bristol Ridge processors. These are based on screens with a diagonal of 15.6 inches with IPS technology and resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels or 4K. The low power consumption of these new processors allows these devices to have a thickness of only 18.8 mm and a light weight of 2.16 Kg, making them highly portable.

The HP Envy X360 will be based on AMD Bristol Ridge processors with dual-core and quad-core configurations with a maximum TDP of 15W and autonomies that can reach 10 hours of use, undoubtedly a very suitable equipment for students who need to take them to class and they have to spend many hours away from the plugs.
