A12-9800: First tests of the Bristol ridge

[whoololon]

Yesterday, the first tests of AMD's new APUs based on the new AM4 platform were published. (The blue ones correspond to the A12 and the olive green (or greenish yellow) to the A10)

With respect to the Kaveri-based A10s, these APUs mount up to four Excavator cores with 2 MB of shared L2 memory and support for DDR4 memory, HSA acceleration (heterogeneous system architecture), support for HEVC multimedia acceleration, and an improvement in IPC.

Except for the advantages that come with the change of platform, the truth is that the results have not surprised me much, I expected them to mark a greater difference.

Here you can see the article according to WccfTech.

I would have liked it but, I didn't expect a big jump

an A10 has been compared to a top-of-the-range motherboard...
with an A12 with 4 cores that will be the base... plus a motherboard with the basic chipset.
not to mention that the A10 is even more expensive than the A12 will be in a few months.
the sale is being delayed just to clear the inventory of the A10s.....
