The improved video decoder of Carrizo/Bristol Ridge now includes UVD 6 (Unified Video Decoder), which can decode HVEC / H.265 up to 4K in hardware. HSA 1.0 is supported for running code on both CPU and GPU cores simultaneously.Ĭompared to the Kaveri generation (Kaveri R7 with GCN 1.1), the new color compression in particular results in better memory utilization and improves the gaming performance by 5-7 %. Furthermore, its shaders can be used with Mantle, OpenGL and OpenCL. It is therefore very similar to the Tonga desktop chip and supports DirectX 12 (FL 12_0). The performance also depends on the memory (best performance with dual-channel DDR4).Īccording to AMD, the Radeon R7 consists of eight cores based on the third GCN generation (often called GCN 1.2 or 2.0 in the press). Depending on the cooling and the configurable TDP (12-45 Watts), the performance can differ quite a lot. The technical specifications do not differ from the AMD Radeon R7 in Carrizo, but the clock is up to 100 MHz higher. At its launch, the R7 is available on the top model FX9830P with 512 GCN shader units and a core clock of 900 MHz. The AMD Radeon R7 (Bristol Ridge) is an integrated graphics card for the fastest mobile AMD Carrizo APUs. Thanks to the 7 nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD), so the iGPU won't look out of place in a slimmer, lighter laptop.ĪMD Radeon R7 (Bristol Ridge) ► remove from comparison Less demanding games like Fifa 20 or Dirt Rally 2.0 should run in higher settings and 1920 x 1080. That means, only some demanding games of 2019 will run in lowest detail settings. The performance should be slightly lower than the older RX Vega 8 GPU (1 CU more, but lower clock speed). More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture. The Vega architecture offers some improvements over the Polaris generation and now supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. The GPU should benefit from fast dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM (contrary to DDR4-2133 single-channel, which is also possible). The iGPU's performance depends on the TDP of an APU (15, 35, 45 W or cTDP), the clocks, the cooling, and the memory configuration). The GPU is based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) clocked at up to 1,800 MHz. It is used in the Ryzen 4000 and Ryzen 5000 mobile APUs. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 is an integrated GPU for notebooks. AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 ► remove from comparison
