While Intel was pre-occupied revamping its laptop processors, AMD paid particular attention to their desktop. The computer processor developer AMD has started rolling out its 7th-generation A-series processors in PCs, starting with devices from Lenovo and HP.
The latest CPUs from AMD are based around as many as four Excavator cores, rather than the coveted Zen cores people have heard about lately. But, that should still acquire consumers a lot of performance per watt.
AMD's 35 and 65 watt processors deliver the kind of speed that previously took over 90 watts of A12-9800. The A12-9800 is about as fast as Intel's Core i5-6500 in a general computing benchmark (PCMark), and the A12-9800 roughly twice as fast in graphics if consumers are relying on integrated video, based on the report of Engadget.
The processors of AMD competes with the latest Kaby Lake processors from Intel, which is formally known as the 7th Generation Core processors.
The Sunnyvale, California based company estimated that as approximately over 10 trillion seconds are spent with PCs every day, AMD spokesman Peter Amos, said that the important thing as innovators of technology is to ensure that those 10 trillion seconds are more immersive, more energy efficient and more productive. That's the driving force behind the company's product development, according to Venture Beat.
AMD made it known that the devices are equipped with DDR4 memory, in which it will deliver excellent energy efficiency and broad bandwidth. It has also the capability of enabling high-speed processing, smooth sports gaming, and the capacity for enhanced HD streaming.
However, as the new Kaby Lake chip by Intel will feature advanced CODEC video support, AMD claimed that the processors, codename Bristol Ridge, will also support VP9 and H.265/HEVC video in hardware, PC World reported.
The company said that Bristol Ridge can easily outperform Intel by up to 100 percent in game performance.
