    Default AMD launches 7th gen APUs and AM4 platform






    Today is a big day for AMD, not only is the company coming out with its new seventh generation of APUs but it is also launching the new AM4 platform, bringing along support for DDR4, next generation I/O standards and of course, the upcoming Zen processors, which will be arriving early next year.

    These new 7th generation APUs will be made available to OEMs to start off with. The highest end A12-9800 features four Excavator CPU cores clocked up to 4.2GHz and Radeon R7 graphics clocked at 1108MHz, all running at a 65W TDP. There is a more energy efficient version known as the A12-9800E which has a 35W TDP and lower CPU/GPU clocks. You can see the full range in the slide above.

    These new chips will first show up in systems built by HP and Lenovo this year and according to AMD’s own tests, its new APU shapes up quite well when pitted against an Intel Skylake Core i5, offering similar productivity performance and greatly improved graphics performance.

    Hope I'm still in the US when this full platform is ready. AM4 board, DDR4 RAM, A12 APU and RX480 GPU.
    My current rig is dated except for the R9 270X.
    This upgrade will be a major one for me.
    I don't know if you guys noticed but I'm still using the first FM1 system and if has never fail me.

    I honestly were pondering switching from AMD totally but now they have given me a reason to remain loyal. given that these data can be trusted.
    I also know that AMD always on target with their product specs.

    Really I'm waiting for the 16thread zen cpu. This 4 core apu will be a stop gap.

    If my understanding is correct, then this chipset will be supported for a few years. I will just swap out my cpu as needs be or as it become friendly to my pocket.
