This evaluation also corresponds with the consumption values later in this review.
The same chassis is also available with Intel ULV processors as well as inexpensive Beema APUs, so we expect a similar consumption of around 15 watts. We already mentioned that the TDP of the new Carrizo models can vary between 12 and 35 watts – it is unfortunately not known which setting HP chose for the Pavilion 17. If this is not a read error, the following GPU benchmarks could be affected by around 5 up to 10 percent. Note: Even though the spec sheet from the manufacturer and the memory SDP indicate DDR3L-1600 modules from Kingston, our tools (CPU-Z, HWInfo) showed an actual memory clock of just 666 MHz (DDR3-1333). However, we want to focus on the Carrizo APU in this article, so we enforced the use of the processor graphics for all applications in the Catalyst Control Center.

The matte Full HD panel and the additional dedicated graphics card are pretty rare in this price range as well.
AMD notebooks unfortunately suffered a lot from unfavorable memory configurations in the past, so the good raw GPU performance did not result in correspondingly high frame rates.
17.3-inch Full HD display (1920x1080 pixels), matteĪ positive aspect is the standard use of two memory modules.The 17-inch device is currently available for around 600 Euros (~$658) and uses the following components: We performed the following benchmarks with an HP Pavilion 17-g054ng, which was kindly provided by. We want to use this review to find out if AMD’s solution can also convince in practice. The manufacturer also promises a very modern video unit with H.265/HEVC support, whereas Broadwell only has a generally less efficient hybrid decoder. Other measures like Voltage Adaptive Operation and AVFS (Adaptive Voltage and Frequency Scaling) are supposed to adjust the supply voltage as precisely as possible to each situation and therefore improve the efficiency.ĪMD is particularly proud of two special features, which are even slightly ahead of Intel’s current Broadwell architecture: For starters, Carrizo is a "real" SoC, where the Southbridge with all I/O ports is directly integrated into the chip. The CPU cores can benefit from that, the new "Excavator" design is supposed to offer a roughly 5 percent higher per-MHz performance than before. Thanks to the special High-Density-Libraries, AMD was still able to increase the pack density by 29 percent – at almost the same die size of 245 mm², the APU now has 3.1 billion transistors instead of 2.4. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4Īfter we had a detailed look at the new Carrizo architecture in the last weeks and months, we just want to give you a short summary at this point.Ĭarrizo is the successor of the previous Kaveri architecture, but it is still manufactured in the same 28 nanometers SHP process at Globalfoundries.
