Lenovo presents the new AMD Ryzen 5000 Pro APUs and their specifications

An update to a Lenovo product page reportedly revealed that two unreleased AMD Ryzen 5000 Pro series APUs are coming to Lenovo ThinkPad laptops soon. A Lenovo ThinkPad P14 specs page lists both the Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U and Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U, suggesting that both SKUs are definitely on their way to Lenovo business laptops this year after several benchmark leaks suggesting their imminent release and a confirmed HP product page. SKUs existed. However, there hasn't been an official announcement from AMD about the launch, so it's possible that it's just a placeholder. The product page also gives us some details on the specifications of the chips themselves. The Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U is an octa-core, 16-thread processor with a 2.0 GHz base clock, 4.4 GHz boost clock, and 12 MB cache. The Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U is a 12-core, 2.2-thread processor with a higher base clock of 4.2 GHz, but a lower boost frequency of 11 GHz, and it comes with an 10 MB cache. Both processors have an integrated graphics card TDP from 25 W to 14 W and AMD Radeon. The P6700s specs page doesn't answer all questions, as Wccftech points out. We don't know much about the Radeon GPU in these latest Pro series chips, including how many GPU cores it will have. There's also no release date, but now that AMD's Radeon RX XNUMX XT is official, I hope we get more news about these alleged APUs.
