I was just going to update the drivers for my laptop and saw that some Carrizo APUs aren't supported in the last driver releases, and are instead referred to the 15.12 release.
Does anyone know why those specific APUs aren't supported since 15.12?

AMD
If you have one of the following APU products please use Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.12
FX-8800P
PRO A12-8800B
PRO A10-8700B
PRO A8-8600B
PRO A6-8500B
A10-8700P

Thanks.

I have noticed recently, that the new AMD driver installs nicely over the old one. I haven't done an uninstall/clean/intall routine for quite some driver releases lately and I see that it's working great. Good job.

Yes this has improved greatly. It's still recommended to do a clean install to avoid potential issues but it seems those are pretty rare now.

Yep. I always do a clean install with DDU.

Takes like 3 extra minutes of time, and saves lots if there ever was a strange issue.

I had the same impression until the 16.4.2 install killed my hdmi audio. had to do a clean install and it worked.
