You can divide AMD’s 7th-gen A-series processors into two families: there are the higher-performance AMD A10 and A12 chips for premium laptops, and the AMD E2, A6, and A9 chips aimed at “value” computers.
While the company says both sets of chips offer big performance improvements over previous AMD processors, the biggest gains might be in the chips for cheaper laptops.
That’s because the processors formerly code-named “Stony Ridge” now use the same AMD “Excavator” CPU cores as the company’s more powerful chips.

After previewing its new 7th-gen A-series processors in April, chip maker AMD is officially launching its new notebook processor lineup at Computex this week.
The lineup includes “Stony Ridge” chips designed for value laptops, which the company says should offer big performance gains over its previous-generation products, as well as new AMD A10 and A12 chips for higher-performance laptops.
AMD says these chips, formerly code-named “Bristol Ridge” should be competitive with Intel’s Core i5 Skylake processors, while offering significantly better graphics performance and competitive pricing.
