AMD’s next-generation mobile platform processor is configured with up to 16 cores, adopted Zen 4 architecture, and 5nm process
At the beginning of next year, AMD will launch the Zen 3+ architecture APU code-named Rembrandt, which will be equipped with a GPU of the RDNA 2 architecture to replace the Vega architecture that has been used for a long time. At the same time, it will support PCIe Gen4 and DDR5 memory, manufactured by 6nm process, and replaced with FP7 socket. It is understood that AMD still maintains a configuration of up to 8 cores and 16 threads on the Ryzen 6000 series.
In contrast, Intel will launch Alder Lake-P at the beginning of next year, equipped with up to 6 Performance Cores based on the Golden Cove architecture and 8 Efficient Cores based on the Gracemont architecture, with 14 cores 20 threads, performance improvement can be expected. It is rumored that Intel has also prepared an Alder Lake-S-based chip called H55, which will be configured with up to 8 P-Core (Golden Cove) and 8 E-Core (Gracemont), which Zen 3+ architecture APU cannot compete with.
In order to cope with the impact of Intel, by the end of 2022, AMD will start the Ryzen 7000 series of mobile processors, including chips code-named Phoenix-H and Raphael-H. According to Twitter user @greymon55, Phoenix-H will be configured with 8 cores and 16 threads at most, with TDP less than 40W, Raphael-H will have 16 cores and 32 threads, TDP over 45W, and both chips use Zen 4 architecture based on 5nm process. As the Raphael-H introduced from the AM5 platform, it should support DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5, and be equipped with RDNA 2 architecture GPU.
The emergence of Raphael-H allows AMD to at least have products that can compete with Intel in terms of architecture and specifications on mobile platforms.
