Awesome!!! I can't wait for this to come out!!! *Smile

After installation of KB4056892 boot failure, after roll-back error 0x800f0845

I am wondering if problems with these AMD "A" series processors ( example knight1fox3 )
should be addresses in a different thread. They are something of a different animal as they have an internal graphics adapter.

Steamroller architecture (2014): Kaveri



Main article: Steamroller (microarchitecture)

• 
  Steamroller-based CPU with 2–4 cores[62]
  
• 
  Graphics Core Next 2nd Gen-based GPU with 192–512 shader processors[63]
  
• 
  15–95 W thermal design power[62][63]
  
• 
  Fastest mobile processor of this series: AMD FX-7600P (35 W)
  
• 
  Fastest desktop processor of this series: AMD A10-7850K (95 W)
  
• 
  Socket FM2+ and Socket FP3[62]
  
• 
  Target segment desktop and mobile
  
• 
  Heterogeneous System Architecture-enabled zero-copying through pointer passing
  

The third generation of the platform, codenamed Kaveri, was partly released on January 14, 2014.[64] Kaveri contains up to four Steamroller CPU cores clocked to 3.9 GHz with a turbo mode of 4.1 GHz, up to a 512-core Graphics Core Next GPU, two decode
units per module instead of one (which allows each core to decode four instructions per cycle instead of two), AMD TrueAudio,[65] Mantle API,[66] an on-chip ARM Cortex-A5 MPCore,[67] and will release with a new socket, FM2+.[68] Ian Cutress and Rahul Garg
of Anandtech asserted that Kaveri represented the unified system-on-a-chip realisation of AMD's acquisition of ATI. The performance of the 45 W A8-7600 Kaveri APU was found to be similar to that of the 100 W Richland part, leading to the claim that AMD made
significant improvements in on-die graphics performance per watt;[62] however, CPU performance was found to lag behind similarly-specified Intel processors, a lag that was unlikely to be resolved in the Bulldozer family APUs.[62] The A8-7600 component was
delayed from a Q1 launch to an H1 launch because the Steamroller architecture components were allegedly did not scale well at higher clock speeds.

Although "fx" series vintage, I wonder if these "A" series CPUs might have slipped through a crack.

2 AMD systems (cpu/gpu, one apu) with this error after the W10 anniversary update thank you.

 

It was about time for AMD to catch up. But that news sounds good.

 

Great news.. I can't wait to see what the new processors can do and the price.
