The AMD FX-9830P was a mobile processor with 4 cores, launched in May 2016. It is part of the FX lineup, using the Bristol Ridge architecture with Socket FP4. FX-9830P has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 3 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.7 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the FX-9830P on a 28 nm production process using 3,100 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on FX-9830P, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 35 W, the FX-9830P consumes only little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2400 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, FX-9830P uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon R7 8CU integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the FX-9830P, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
