AMD just announced its "Bristol Ridge" and "Stoney Ridge" 7th Generation APUs

01 June, 2016
As expected, AMD had some big announcements lined up for Computex this year. The company officially unveiled its new, 7th generation APU lineup for use in notebooks. The new family is actually divided into two segments - a higher-end, codenamed "Bristol Ridge" and a lower-end - "Stoney Ridge". Both are based on new and updated Excavator cores. These are largely similar to the ones employed in the 6th gen Carrizo models, improving even further on what was widely held as AMD's best take on APUs since the original Bulldozer architecture.

    I don't think the code optimization for Jaguar/Puma cores will work well on the Excavators. In particular the multithreaded FP operations. I also believe there is enough room in 28nm process to significantly improve speed and yields of larger dies, without the radical change that implies moving from that architecture.
