New Main­stream & eSports–Ready Gam­ing PCs Powered by 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series Desk­top Pro­ces­sors Debut Globally

—   “Bris­tol Ridge” APUs pair with the all-new AM4 desk­top plat­form to increase pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and enhan­ce immersi­ve and gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces; HP and Leno­vo design laun­ches demons­tra­te rea­di­ness of AM4 plat­form for upco­ming “Sum­mit Ridge” CPUs —

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Sept. 5, 2016 —  AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced that the first OEM sys­tems to fea­ture 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series desk­top pro­ces­sors are now ship­ping, pai­red with the new AMD AM4 plat­form sup­port­ing DDR4 memo­ry and next-gen I/O and stan­dards. Designs, initi­al­ly from HP and Leno­vo, with other glo­bal OEM designs to fol­low, deli­ver high-speed pro­ces­sing, smooth eSports gam­ing, and enhan­ced HD and UHD strea­ming capa­bi­li­ties, inclu­ding the hig­hest memo­ry band­width to date for an AMD desk­top platform.

“The con­su­mer release of the­se new HP and Leno­vo designs is an important mile­stone for AMD on two fronts. First, it marks a major increase in pro­duc­ti­vi­ty per­for­mance, strea­ming video and eSports gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces sought after by today’s con­su­mers, deli­ver­ed through our new 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series desk­top pro­ces­sors. Second, becau­se the­se new OEM designs also fea­ture our new AM4 desk­top plat­form, the mother­board eco­sys­tem shows its rea­di­ness for our upco­ming high-per­for­mance “Sum­mit Ridge” desk­top CPUs fea­turing “Zen” cores, which share the same plat­form,” said Kevin Len­sing, Cor­po­ra­te VP and gene­ral mana­ger of Cli­ent Com­pu­ting at AMD.

Sys­tems powered by 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series pro­ces­sors are pro­duc­ti­ve, immersi­ve, and ener­gy effi­ci­ent, with up to four “Excava­tor” CPU cores. 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series desk­top pro­ces­sors con­sist of 65-watt and 35-watt ver­si­ons, offe­ring supe­ri­or power effi­ci­en­cy and enab­ling fle­xi­ble solu­ti­ons in a wide varie­ty of form fac­tors. The new 7th Gene­ra­ti­on 65-watt A‑Series pro­ces­sors deli­ver per­for­mance only rea­li­zed at 95-watts with the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on. In addi­ti­on, when com­pared to the Intel Core i5 6500, the new 65-watt pro­ces­sors offer up to equi­va­lent pro­duc­ti­vi­ty performance2 and up to 99% hig­her gra­phics performance3.

7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series desk­top pro­ces­sors (pre­vious­ly code­na­med “Bris­tol Ridge”) also bring enhan­ced gra­phics capa­bi­li­ties and key video play­back fea­tures that sup­port up to 4K Ultra HD in both the popu­lar H.264 and new-and-impro­ved H.265 formats.4 The­se devices will also fea­ture AMD Rade­on Gra­phics Core Next gra­phics, with full sup­port for Micro­soft® DirectX® 12.

The AMD AM4 socket is a new uni­fied socket infra­struc­tu­re that pro­vi­des com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty bet­ween 7th Gene­ra­ti­on AMD A‑Series pro­ces­sors and the upco­ming high-per­for­mance “Sum­mit Ridge” AMD desk­top CPU. AM4 plat­forms fea­ture DDR4 Memo­ry and next-gen I/O and peri­phe­ral sup­port, inclu­ding PCIe® Gen 3, USB 3.1 Gen 2, NVMe, and SATA Express.

About AMD

For more than 45 years, AMD has dri­ven inno­va­ti­on in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, gra­phics, and visua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies ― the buil­ding blocks for gam­ing, immersi­ve plat­forms, and the dat­a­cen­ter. Hundreds of mil­li­ons of con­su­mers, lea­ding For­tu­ne 500 busi­nesses, and cut­ting-edge sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch faci­li­ties around the world rely on AMD tech­no­lo­gy dai­ly to impro­ve how they live, work, and play. AMD employees around the world are focu­sed on buil­ding gre­at pro­ducts that push the boun­da­ries of what is pos­si­ble. For more infor­ma­ti­on about how AMD is enab­ling today and inspi­ring tomor­row, visit the AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) web­site, blog, Face­book and Twit­ter pages.
