[PConline] There is no doubt that the eyes of the world are now on AMD's Ryzen. Perhaps Ryzen's own aura, degree of attention, and expectation value are so dazzling that we seem to have forgotten that AMD's new platform has no CPU other than Ryzen. In fact, on the motherboard of the new interface AM4, not only is Ryzen's exclusive, but also the most neglected new generation APU. what? The new generation of APU is the first generation? Well, since you asked in good faith, Xiaobian answered: 7th generation. The disappeared 7th generation APU? As early as September 2016, AMD has quietly released the 7th-generation APU, code-named Bristol Ridge. On the performance of the 7-generation APU, I believe that for many DIY players is an unknown number. Because AMD's father said, son you play in the OEM, the rest to my PPT! Then, 7-generation APUs are hard to find in the consumer market. As a forerunner, AMD A12-9800 is not AMD's main Zen architecture, but it also has to do its part, which is the last round of bulldozer era. AMD chose low-key route, only in the OEM field, coupled with AMD's OEM CPU strategy is not as open as Intel, so the domestic A12-9800 can be described as hard to find. Even worse, even if you spent all your luck getting an A12-9800, the 300 series motherboard with the AM4 slot is not yet available. There is no AM4 motherboard, which is very embarrassing, perhaps the role of A12-9800 is used as a key chain? At this time, many salted fish players began to entertain themselves... In fact, compared to the specifications and performance of the 7th generation APU, I believe that everyone is most concerned about its CPU socket and AM4 motherboard with the new 300-series chipset. At the time when Zen was still called, AMD had already announced that the AM4 was the "renovation standard" for future AMD CPUs. Including the new Ryzen architecture CPU, 7-generation APU, from entry level to enthusiast level, will continue to use it, seamless switching between each other, upgrade. The 7th generation APU is the premiere of AM4. The 7th generation APU is the senior brother of Ryzen - senior! As for motherboards that support AM4, they will appear in the name of AMD 300-series chipsets. In terms of specifications, finally supporting DDR4 memory, USB3.1, NVMe SSD, etc., have evolved in terms of disk interface support and the number of PCIe channels. In general, keep pace with the times! Although the 7th generation APU is the brother of Ryzen, the identity of the 7th generation APU is the last appearance of the AMD bulldozer architecture family. It is exactly the fourth version of the bulldozer, the ultimate excavator. The new APU actually compares with the desktop version of Godavari or Kaveri APU. The CPU architecture is upgraded from pile driver to excavator, and the GPU is upgraded from GCN 1.1 to GCN 1.2. After all, it is an upgrade. Certainly we must make progress. In terms of actual performance, from the test data of foreign media, the 7-generation APU A12-9800 has improved about 10% in the single-core, multi-core, and nuclear-based A10-7870K. The upgrade standard for toothpaste plants is still valid. . Although maintaining a 28-nm step-by-step process, the 65-watt TDP brings a significant drop in measured power consumption and temperature, leading to improved real-world performance-to-power ratio. The bell must be tied So the question is, although the AMD A12-9800 doesn't have much improvement compared to the previous generation APU, but since you are all updated, why are you still so low-key? After all, AMD A12-9800 is the oldest brother of Ryzen, Big Brother, Big Brother... AMD's daddy is naturally unhappy, because Lao Tzu is going to straighten out Ryzen and AM4. In order to make Ryzen the protagonist of the new platform, it is promoting a new architecture and a new platform for the new motherboard. First, let AMD A12-9800 mount AM4 to the OEM market to explore the road, and then the time is ripe, and then formally released; Second, AMD A12-9800 is an old bulldozer architecture, determined to break AMD Naturally blind to it. If AMD A12-9800 is promoted to consumer platforms together, it naturally affects the integrity of the product line. The second reason may be that people don't know much about it. It is related to AMD's market performance. Because the whole world is waiting for AMD's Ryzen, they are not interested in AMD's old CPU, which has caused AMD's junk to squeeze too much. It is said that only 20% of AMD's quarterly missions were completed in October, indicating that AMD is really not very good in the 2016 Q4 market. Many customers are ready to withdraw from AMD's FPP, and pushing AMD A12-9800 domestically will only outweigh the benefits. On the other hand, after the release of the 7th generation APU, AMD's production certainly produced a lot of A12-9800, and it must not be sold! So 7-generation APU focuses on the OEM field, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, etc. are all 7-generation APU shelter. So, will 7-generation APUs be truly insulated from DIY? May really be! Because people with discerning eyes know that AMD wants to concentrate its resources on Ryzen. Originally, APU was not high-end positioning, and the old architecture did not have much meaning. In the transition period between the old and new architecture, it would be better to do Ryzen more realistically. Zen Architecture APU on the road Although the seventh-generation APU is abolished in half, the APU route will also be abandoned. will not! As an embodiment of AMD's differentiation, AMD will not give up the APU route. After all, the eyes of the whole world are now in Ryzen. High-end players have Ryzen and Core i7 and i5 playing in the same game. However, since the current Ryzen is still under optimization and has not yet been released, all APUs related to the Zen architecture are still in the stage of R&D. According to the script given by AMD, the APU of the Zen architecture will arrive in 2018 as soon as possible. APU with Zen descent is still there, so stay tuned! PS AMD's inner monologue: "I waited for three years and I would like to wait for an opportunity. I will fight for a breath. I do not want to prove that I am terrific; I want to tell people that something I have lost must be brought back!"
Absolute rotary Encoder measure actual position by generating unique digital codes or bits (instead of pulses) that represent the encoder`s actual position. Single turn absolute encoders output codes that are repeated every full revolution and do not output data to indicate how many revolutions have been made. Multi-turn absolute encoders output a unique code for each shaft position through every rotation, up to 4096 revolutions. Unlike incremental encoders, absolute encoders will retain correct position even if power fails without homing at startup.
