4C/4T · 3.8 GHz · 35 W

The AMD PRO A12-8870E is the 35 W low-power version of the PRO A12-8870, released in October 2016 for compact and energy-efficient commercial desktops on the AM4 platform. It keeps the four Excavator cores and eight-CU Radeon R7 graphics of the standard model but runs them at lower base clocks to fit the reduced power budget.
