Don't forget the weird mismatched 6GB RAM configuration, I'm sure that will really help graphics performance

I actually love the concept of these detachables. But no matter what the hardware, it never seems quite right for one or the other. Either it is too big for a tablet (like this case obviously) or too small for the best laptop experience. Probably better to get a nice laptop or ultrabook and a cheap tablet rather than something that tries to be all things and doesnt quite fit anything.
Oh look, Bristol Ridge has the same number of GPU CUs as Carrizo.
Basically the only difference is the higher clocks, higher TDP options and AM4 availability.
Not the same die, exactly. Having DDR4 controler might change something and not only die floorplan. But additionally BR has so much circuit which other than DDR4 controller, this might be related to AM4 implementation which has 400 more pins socket. (USB?SATA?PCIE?)
From the two pictures above it looks to be exactly the same die.
You cannot exclude those additional circuit around, although they're not core and cache.....
Ehm no, those are parts of other Carrizo/BristolRidge dies from the wafer
no. Watch carefully again, those circuit/unit are not from other die.

Have they improved power management as well (similar to Richland vs Trinity)?

The author explain 16CU SKUs might be for console......maybe.Looks like Bits n Chips were talking out of their hat again: http://www.bitsandchips.it/english/52-english-news/6676-rumor-bristol-bridge-could-have-a-16cu-gpu
Makes me wonder what's the usage of those extra pins on socket.
As far as I know, no.
They can alter the clock stretching and L2 cache downsize parameters to make the power management more aggressive, however Carrizo is already using all the tricks which are supported by the hardware.
Probably whatever uvd functionality that was/is in stoneyridge.According to Sweclockers, AMD hade activated some features that were inactivated in Carrizo.
They did not say which features, though.
AMD's 7th Generation A-Series Processors will not be released until Computex, which starts on May 31st. That said, they surprised us with “early availability” in the HP Envy x360 laptop. Bristol Ridge is based on their Excavator core architecture, introduced with Carrizo last year, although AMD claims that this revision has even higher performance, both x86 and graphics. They don't say exactly where it came from, but they cite results of about 12% over Carrizo in PCMark 8, both at 15W.

And that's... really about it. It's interesting how AMD could squeeze that much extra performance without changing the wattage or moving to a different fabrication process, but that is what they claim. Carrizo was already intended to be a highly-refined part when it launched. That said, a year is a year, and engineers will continually find better solutions if they are given the opportunity.
While this is partially a pre-announcement for the processor's launch at Computex, it would be interesting to know when the HP Envy x360 will ship with the new processor. It sounds like it will be soon, so we'll be sure to keep a look out.
