AMD's laptop processor roadmap could give Intel nightmares

AMD's roadmap for its future APUs in 2021 and 2022 has been leaked, and if this spill is correct (keep your salt shaker handy as always), it highlights some interesting new points about what we'll be seeing. - Intel certainly won't sleep easily. to this small lot. The leak is from Rogame on Twitter, as spotted by VideoCardz, and we'll apparently see updated Zen 3 (``Rembrandt'') APUs in 2022, which will be Zen 3+ chips built on a 6nm process (which has already gone mainstream). ).

Cezanne products will integrate Vega 7 graphics, along with “Lucienne” (Zen 2 mobile silicon), these two families make up the Ryzen 5000 range as we have already heard. This is important, because it's obvious that only Cezanne silicon will go to Zen 3, and thus benefit from this vital architectural increase in IPC (instructions per clock) performance. Then later in 2021 we'll see the 'Van Gogh' pop-up, which will pair the Zen 2 architecture with Navi 2 graphics (with a TDP of just 9W). These APUs will also support LPDDR5 memory for additional performance benefits in laptops. The Rembrandt Zen 3+ APUs will also use Navi 2 graphics when they arrive in 2022, according to this speculation, and will of course support LPDDR5 and DDR5.

The leak shares a few other families for 2022, including Barceló '', que será una actualización de Cezanne-U y el sucesor de Lucienne-U (los chips U'' are the low power variety for efficient operation on laptops), apparently retaining the Vega 7 graphics. "Pollock" is supposed to consist of APUs built on the original Zen architecture and a 14nm process with Vega graphics, but that they only require 4.5W in terms of power consumption. 2022 will also bring a Van Gogh update in the form of a 'Dragon Crest', so with the arrival of the new Rembrandt silicon that year, AMD certainly has many avenues of attack for the future in terms of processors. for laptops. This will no doubt be a serious concern for Intel, which is already facing a major threat from Cézanne APUs that are expected to be imminent as mentioned: Intel Tiger Lake mobile processors may be competitive now, but they could pale in comparison to this news.
