AMD a12-9800 Performance Test
Judging from the score of the test. A12-9800 's single-threaded performance increased by 6%, multi-threaded performance increased by 15%, and bandwidth increased by 50%. Basically now the excavator structure is already the limit, want to advance the performance still want to see Zen architecture.
After a look at the nucleus, AMD claims that this generation of the nuclear display compared to the previous generation of Ascension 50%. This is certainly a boast of the composition, from the theoretical run points and the actual game to see, a12-9800 's nuclear dominance can improve about 25-30%, the main effect of the mainstream game should be no problem.
Power consumption a12-9800 compared to the APU has a relatively large progress, the use of Prime 95 when the power consumption dropped 30W. And at this point the CPU temperature also reduced by 20 degrees.
Although the excavator architecture allows a new generation of APU compared to the previous generation of performance improvement, but this generation of CPUs is still in the transition phase, after all, the CPU architecture design bottlenecks where placed. It is believed that most people still look forward to AMD's 14NM process Zen architecture processor.
