AMD still plans to launch an APU using the Zen 3+ architecture

According to previously circulated news, the Zen 3+ architecture Ryzen 6000 series CPU of the desktop platform code-named Warhol has been canceled, but the APU also made with the 6nm process seems to still be in AMD’s plan and has not been affected.

According to a recent tweet posted by Twitter user @ExecuFix, the Zen 3+ architecture APU codenamed Rembrandt will replace Cezanne, which was only released at the beginning of this year. At the same time, the new generation APU will use RDNA 2 architecture GPU and have up to 12 CU calculations and 768 stream processors.

The only Zen3+ that I've seen is the 6nm one in Rembrandt

For a long time, many users hope that AMD will use RDNA or RDNA 2 architecture nuclear display instead of the Vega architecture nuclear display that has been used for a long time in the APU product line. This alone has made many users look forward to it.  As a competitor, Intel has used the LP-Xe architecture core display in the new generation of Core series products to replace the UHD 630 core, which has improved performance. At the same time, the RDNA 2 architecture will also appear on the Zen 4 architecture Ryzen 7000 series CPU of the desktop platform codenamed Raphael.

In addition to the new generation of APU code-named Rembrandt, it will appear on mobile platforms and may have the opportunity to appear on desktop platforms. The current poor supply of discrete graphics cards has made APU more concerned on desktop platforms than before. AMD has announced that the Ryzen 5000G series will appear in the retail market to meet user needs. It is reported that Rembrandt may be the first product to use the AM5 platform, but it may still use the AM4 platform.
