Quote:Bristol Ridge is unlikely to shake up the overall roadmap or Carrizo’s performance very much. While the chip will have some improvements and tweaks (and should support dual-channel memory in laptops) the typical gain for this kind of refresh is in the 3-5% range. Another 5% sure wouldn’t hurt the core’s CPU performance, but Zen’s 40% is what people are going to be watching for. If you’re looking to build an entry-level AMD gaming rig, Kaveri is probably the better option. If, on the other hand, you want a general-purpose system, Carrizo and the X4 845 may be the better core.
