It’s now official! AMD’s 7th Gen AMD PRO, the Bristol Ridge PRO-based APUs have been fully announced to the public. These APUs are built for business – delivery both raw computational power and graphics performance while improving energy efficiency. Of course, since they’re built for business, there are some additional features for security too.
There are a few key takeaway points here with the 7th Gen Bristol Ridge-based PRO processors:
- Help ensure sensitive data and trusted applications remain secure with the dedicated and integrated AMD Secure Processor technology; a system-wide secure environment that offloads and isolates security functions, providing an independent hardware-based root of trust for secure boot, content protection, application security, and fTPM 2.0 (firmware trusted platform module).
- To meet users’ growing compute and graphic demands, new AMD PRO desktop processors provide up to 14% more compute and 22% more graphic performance while being up to 32% more energy efficient than 6 th generation AMD PRO processors.
- Open standards and CPU-agnostic DASH manageability allows IT departments to easily integrate and manage systems. The new AMD AM4 desktop infrastructure provides a stable and upgradable platform for the future.
Now, on to the juicy bits. We can see that AMD claims that the AMD PRO A12-9800E is compared heavily to the Intel Core i5, and the first bit of information we get is “up to 17% more system performance” and “up to 88% more graphics performance” compared to the i5-6400T. In the footnotes, AMD’s system configuration is heavily biased towards their own system while handicapping their rival’s in terms of RAM and even storage media. It’s not a one-to-one comparison, so keep that in mind.
Compared to AMD’s 6th Gen PRO Processors, AMD claims that it now has +14% CPU performance, +22% GPU performance, and -32% power consumption. This is because the brand new 7th Gen PRO Processors is fabricated on the 14nm FinFET manufacturing technology. More about FinFET explained here and here.
Of course, there are even more detailed features and explanations from AMD themselves, so check out the entire press deck by AMD right below here.
