Work Faster, Play Longer With New Mobile 7th Generation AMD A-Series Processors - Seite 2

7^th Generation AMD A-Series Processors deliver smooth multitasking, fast start-up times, and premium video streaming and playback features, all with superb power efficiency. AMD delivers graphics and compute superiority versus the competition, with up to 53% higher graphics performance⁵ and up to 51% higher compute performance when the 7^th Generation AMD FX processor is compared to the Intel Core i7⁶. Improved energy efficiency allows the 7^th Generation AMD FX™ 9800P processor to consume up to 12% less power in productivity workloads compared to the previous generation AMD FX-8800P APU.⁷

AMD identified an industry-wide performance need in the entry level -- or "everyday" -- PC segment which it addressed with the 7^th Generation A-Series Processors codenamed "Stoney Ridge." With the new 7^th Generation AMD A9, A6, and E2 processors, AMD brings high-performance "Excavator" cores and premium video playback processing to this segment, which represents 26% of all PCs sold annually⁸. This enables consumers to get more done, manage more complex tasks, and enjoy more immersive video streaming and playback. Improved GCN cores enable optimal graphics performance and breathtaking image quality. The transition to "Excavator" cores delivers up to 50% faster CPU core performance over the previous generation⁹. The new AMD A9 APU also performs well against the competition, providing up to 27% faster graphics performance than the Intel Pentium-4405U¹⁰ and even rivaling the Intel i3-6100U with competitive graphics¹¹ and system performance¹², but with up to 1.2 GHz faster CPU speed¹³.

Strong OEM partnerships and support of the 7^th Generation AMD APUs play a vital role in delivering the best user experience. As announced on April 5, 2016, AMD accelerated the availability of the new processors to support exciting new notebook designs, which allowed Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo to bring to market richly configured, high-performance systems powered by the 7^th Generation AMD A-Series Processors, many of which can be seen at Computex 2016, with additional designs and partners expected to be announced throughout 2016.
