AMD Zen architecture product line is already very rich, and in the first quarter of this year, AMD will complete the last piece of puzzle, that is, a lot of new users highly anticipated APU, including mobile and desktop.
The new Eighth Generation APU, code-named Raven Ridge, uses a 14nm manufacturing process and incorporates two new Zen CPU and Vega GPU architectures, all using Infinity Fabric high-speed interconnects, while the package interface is still AM4, providing the same functionality as the Ryzen CPU, APU fully compatible.
Interestingly, in view of the great success of the Ryzen brand, the new generation of APUs also emphasizes the concept of APU by focusing on the Ryzen processor with integrated Vega graphics core, and of course it is APU.
First look Mobile end, here all will be APU in the future, there is no longer a separate CPU, known as the fastest mobile processor, and package thickness of only 1.38 mm , Very suitable for creating high-performance thin and light notebooks.
In the fourth quarter of last year, we saw the first batch of Ryzen 7 2700U and Ryzen 5 2500U. In the first quarter of this year, exactly January 9, two new products will be added.
Ryzen 3 2300U for Four-core four-thread , Clocked at 2.0-3.4GHz, integrated six CU computing unit, 384 stream processors.
Ryzen 3 2200U for Dual-core four-thread (so far the only dual-core Zen), Clocked at 2.5-3.4GHz, integrated three CU computing unit, 192 stream processors.
In terms of performance, AMD claims The graphics performance of the Ryzen 7 2700U has surpassed that of the GTX 950M, nearly tripling the core of the Core i7-8550U and delivering significantly better CPU performance than the Core i7-8550U.
FreeSync 2, HDR10, 4K and other advanced graphics video capabilities, Ryzen APU the same one does not fall.
Acer, Asus, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and so will release the new Ryzen APU notebook.
In the second quarter, Ryzen Pro will also join the Mobile APU for business notebooks, emphasizing performance, security and reliability as well as integrated desktop Vega GPUs, all in the 14nm process.
AMD claims the Ryzen Pro APU delivers up to 22% more performance and 8 hours of battery life (up to 9.2 hours of HD video playback) over Intel's 8th generation Core Mobile.
Specifically , Ryzen Pro 7 2700U Eight threads for the quad-core, three cache 6MB, clocked at 2.2-3.8GHz, integrated 640 stream processors; Ryzen Pro 5 2500U The frequency drops to 2.0-3.GHz, stream processor 512; Ryzen Pro 3 2300U Four-core four-thread, clocked at 2.0-3.4GHz, stream processors 384, respectively, the benchmark Core i7 / i5 / i3 U series.
