New evidence has emerged suggesting that AMD is on the cusp of launching new CPUs. The AMD RX-8125, RX-8120, and A9-9820 were discovered in the 3DMark database by famous leaker TUM_APISAK.
Apparently, the RX-8125 and RX-8120 are equipped with eight logical processors and eight cores. In other words, they are octa-core parts without SMT (simultaneous multi-threading), which is the AMD equivalent of Intel's Hyper-Threading. The RX-8120 seemingly comes with a 1,700MHz base clock speed and 1,796MHz boost clock, while the RX-8125 runs with a 2,300MHz base clock and 2,395MHz boost clock. As is customary, the two processors could be engineering samples, so the final operating clocks could vary a bit.
In other news – judging by the model name, the AMD A9-9820 part is presumably an APU (accelerated processing unit). This could be a new addition to AMD's current 7th-generation A9-series products that are designed specifically for laptops. Like the RX-8125 and RX-8120, the A9-9820 seems to sport eight cores and lack SMT technology. It's clocked at 2,300MHz with a boost clock that jumps up to 2,395MHz. The processor appears to feature Radeon RX 350 graphics.
Avnet has already listed the RX-8120 (RE8120FEG84HU) and A9-9820 (RE8125FEG84HU) on the company's website. Given Avnet's reputation for being one of the world's largest providers of embedded solutions, the RX-8125 and RX-8120 are likely embedded processors as we initially speculated. Since Avnet already has 105 units of the A9-9820 in stock, it's safe to assume that AMD will announce the new processors in the not-so-distant future.
