AMD Carrizo Part 2: A Generational Deep Dive into the Athlon X4 845 at $70

If first person survival mixed with horror is your sort of thing, then Alien: Isolation, based off of the Alien franchise, should be an interesting title. Developed by The Creative Assembly and released in October 2014, Alien: Isolation has won numerous awards from Game Of The Year to several top 10s/25s and Best Horror titles, ratcheting up over a million sales by February 2015. Alien: Isolation uses a custom built engine which includes dynamic sound effects and should be fully multi-core enabled. We take the average frame rate as our marker with a scripted version of the built-in benchmark.
For this test we used the following settings with our graphics cards:
| Alien Isolation Settings | |||
| Resolution | Quality | ||
| Low GPU | Integrated Graphics | 1280x720 | Ultra |
| ASUS R7 240 1GB DDR3 | |||
| Medium GPU | MSI GTX 770 Lightning 2GB | 1920x1080 | Ultra |
| MSI R9 285 Gaming 2G | |||
| High GPU | ASUS GTX 980 Strix 4GB | 1920x1080 | Ultra |
| MSI R9 290X Gaming 4G | |||
Alien Isolation in this case favors a higher IPC, and so as a result the Intel processors are quite high on the list. The biggest differences are when using the high-end graphics cards: the R9 290X and the GTX 980, which give a 10-20% increase in favor of the Pentium.

They really shoot themselves up allowing those 15w TDP configs with their "high end" APU's.Lolimaster - Saturday, July 16, 2016 - link
That was my point about AMD building their own mobile ecosystem instead of letting OEM's destroy their reputation even more with cr*aptastic offerings.wiboonsin - Thursday, May 25, 2017 - link

Well better late than never for Andantech, but still a great review. As for AMD's Zen, there is much to celebrate and everything they have learned from Kaveri & Carrizo will be put into Zen. But most importantly is AMD's move to 14nm. Which means most reviewers will, for the first time, be comparing apples with apples. Its been a long road for AMD but now that they are here, I can only expect that in many areas of computing they'll give Intel a run for their money and the consumer a taste of the benefits of competition.osxandwindows - Thursday, July 14, 2016 - link
Yeah, right.Keep dreaming.
Hehe.

I'd say the most important part isn't the move to 14nm - that would've happened anyway at this point in time - but the abandonment of the Bulldozer design, finally, into a new CPU microarchitecture and adoption of Intel-like hyperthreading. That's what will shoot AMD CPUs back into competition.
