How much better are Richland CPUs compared to Trinity?

[Torn Mind]

ZSNES can be played on a Pentium M or Pentium 4. No, I am not kidding. I've had one too many go-arounds with Fire Emblem 4 and other SNES games.


Richland has the same microarchitecture as Trinity, so at the exact same clockspeed, performance will be very close to identical, with Richland perhaps sipping a little less power.

ZSNES has directdraw problems in Win8/8.1 and presumably Win10. There is a new version coming that has been in the works for awhile now. In the meantime, using a different emulator is a better way to go, at least under Windows. In Linux, it is not such a big problem, since the Linux version of ZSNES does not rely on Directdraw.

Richland actually has a few tiny bugfixes in it that make it minutely different from Vishera and Trinity. Most people wouldn't really notice it without extensive benchmarking. But yeah, it will hit higher clockspeeds.
