![]() This is that review, and we're testing the Athlon X4 845 and its microarchitectural counterparts through the years: the Athlon X4 860K with Kaveri cores and the Steamroller ♚rch, the Athlon X4 760K with Richland cores and an improved Piledriver ♚rch, and the Athlon X4 750K with Trinity cores using the original Piledriver ♚rch. ![]() ![]() We tested some 15W laptops earlier in the year, but when AMD announced a 65W part was coming to desktop, we actively sourced a part to compare generational performance improvements in a like-for-like setting. Carrizo and Excavator were primarily aimed at laptops and is an important part of the efficiency goals AMD has set itself. The latest microarchitecture from AMD based on the x86 instruction set was given the codename Excavator, using the fourth generation of AMD's Bulldozer cores, called Carrizo cores.
