AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX specifications leaked: 20 MB Cache, 4.6 GHz Boost
AMD will release the Zen 3+ architecture APU early next year, this new product code named Rembrandt belongs to the Ryzen 6000 series. RDNA 2 core architecture will be configured to replace the Vega architecture that has been used for a long time. It will also support PCIe Gen4 and DDR5 memory. It will be manufactured using a 6nm process and replaced with an FP7 socket. It is rumored that the graphics performance of the new APU has been greatly improved, and it is close to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 mobile version, and faster than AMD Radeon RX 560 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti mobile version using the Polaris architecture.
According to Wccftech reports, more details about the APU code-named Rembrandt have recently been obtained. AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX will be one of the top products in the new series. Ryzen 9 6900HX will be an 8-core 16-thread specification, with 4MB of L2 cache and 16MB of L3 cache. Its boost frequency is 4.6 GHz, which is the same as the current Ryzen 9 5900HX, but the power consumption will be lower.
It is still unclear how many CUs will be configured for the new APU, but AMD will start with this generation of products and change the naming method for integrated graphics. The RDNA 2 architecture GPU used by Rembrandt will be called Radeon 6xxM, and the corresponding Ryzen 9 6900HX core will be called Radeon 680M. Since the use of DDR5-4800 memory will greatly increase the bandwidth of DDR4 memory than in the past, this may be more conducive to the performance of the RDNA 2 architecture core architecture. However, Ryzen 9 6900HX is aimed at high-performance laptops, and most manufacturers will use Nvidia’s high-end GeForce mobile graphics cards.
In addition, AMD may release its corresponding desktop version in the third quarter of 2022, after the Raphael processor of the Zen 4 architecture.
