AMD A12-9800E

4C/4T · 3.8 GHz · 35 W

The AMD A12-9800E is the 35 W low-power version of the A12-9800 in the 7th Generation A-Series (Bristol Ridge) for the AM4 platform. It keeps the four Excavator cores and eight-CU Radeon R7 graphics of the flagship at lower clocks, making it a strong choice for small form factor systems without a discrete graphics card. It shipped to OEMs from September 2016 and reached retail on July 27, 2017.
