1 month ago - It is the successor to Zen 3 and uses TSMC's N6 process for I/O dies, N5 process for CCDs, and N4 process for APUs. Zen 4 powers Ryzen 7000 performance desktop processors (codenamed "Raphael"), Ryzen 8000G series mainstream desktop APUs (codenamed "Phoenix"), and Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series ...

July 26, 2023 - Rumors have indicated that both the 8-core Phoenix and 6-core Phoenix 2 chips will be used in the 7440U, a dual-sourcing strategy that would ensure plenty of supply for these low-end APUs. Because the regular Phoenix chips aren't hybrid, we would have to assume that the 7440U and the 7540U won't take full advantage of the hybrid nature of the Phoenix 2 design. Additionally, it's unclear how AMD plans on utilizing Zen 4 and 4c cores in a hybrid APU since unlike Intel's P-cores and E-cores, Zen 4 and 4c are architecturally identical, though Zen 4c has a more limited frequency.

August 29, 2022 - At a press and analyst event in ... Ryzen 7000 desktop CPU line, code-named “Raphael.” First tipped at CES 2022, the Ryzen 7000 will be the first set of consumer chips to employ the new “Zen 4” microarchitecture with leading-edge process technology...

January 8, 2024 - It's been nearly three years since AMD launched its last desktop APU series, but now the all-in-one CPU+budget GPU chips are back with a bang in the form of the 8000G series. The new range covers four models, all of them using the Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU architectures.

November 7, 2023 - Considering that the APU will be Phx2 up to 6 cores (2 zen4, 4 zen4c) and up to 4 GPU cores... Probably about the same as 5600G. But power draw should be less than 25W xdd ... The article clearly says Phoenix with 8 Zen4, not certain about Little Phoenix. There's no way desktop APU would be ...

May 4, 2022 - Dragon Range and Phoenix are mobile Zen 4 APUs that will replace AMD's existing Ryzen 6000 (Rembrandt) product line. Dragon Range will power enthusiast gaming laptops, whereas Phoenix targets thin and light gaming devices.

November 7, 2023 - They come with up to eight cores instead of the 16 that Raphael-based CPUs (the normal Ryzen 7000-series desktop chips) come with, but feature 12 RDNA 3 Compute Units versus the four RDNA 2 CUs on Raphael. Needless to say, that's a potentially big jump in integrated graphics performance for desktops that use the new processors. There's also the Phoenix 2 APU, which has up to six cores (four of which are Zen 4c) and just four RDNA 3 CUs.

October 11, 2023 - Meanwhile, the Intel Raptor Lake ... at 28W is a seriously efficient chip. A desktop Zen 4 Quad-Core APU should end up being the fastest 4-core chip around but it remains to be seen if AMD will offer anything besides 8 core & ...

May 7, 2024 - Strix Point has been rumored to be AMD’s first hybrid APU architecture featuring Zen5 and Zen4 cores (most likely Zen4c). This unfortunately was not confirmed by AMD. ... Furthermore, AMD also confirmed Granite Ridge based on Zen5 architecture for desktops.

November 8, 2023 - The first details about AMD's upcoming Ryzen 8000G-series accelerated processing units (APUs) for desktops have leaked. They indicate that the company looks set to use both high-performance Phoenix processors based on Zen 4 cores and compact ...

January 2, 2024 - I somehow missed it before, but there is Universal x86 Tuning Utility, which works with desktop and mobile CPUs, so even if you have very limited BIOS, then you can unlock power limits and some other things. Ryzen Master and Intel XTU work with some of the highest mobile CPUs, too. You probably know that, but if you didn't, then you can play with the software, regardless of which way you pick. The APU with C+c cores can be quite cheap, but everything around will cost a bit.

September 4, 2022 - But if I had to guess, they're gonna release them eventually. The APUs were successful enough to warrant a major rearrangement of the product stack for 5000 series, with more options and better performance.

December 1, 2023 - AMD Zen 4 ‘Phoenix’ APUs – Thin And Light Gaming Laptops · AMD has confirmed three Zen 4-powered products across 2022 and 2023 in a roadmap produced during the company’s Q1 2022 financial results. While this year’s Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 launch details remain unclear – leaving us looking towards a second-half-of-2022 ballpark for release – we do know what some of the future holds for the Zen 4 architecture. AMD’s ‘Raphael’ CPUs will reach desktops this year, and 2023 should be very healthy for mobile gaming, with AMD promising next-level laptop performance.

January 11, 2023 - The mobile Ryzens will be a jungle of five different chips in the 7000 generation as a whole, so it will be challenging to navigate them, but the 4nm Phoenix APUs with Zen 4 can be distinguished by a numerical designation ending in 40, with the four indicating the Zen 4 core (the low-end Mendocino with Zen 2 Lite cores will have a designation ending with 20, refreshed 6nm Rembrandt models will end with 35 and refreshed 7nm Barcelo/Cezanne has a designation ending with 30). Phoenix is not yet a chiplet design like the desktop Ryzen 7000s, but a monolithic 4nm chip, which should be beneficial for power draw and power efficiency.

October 9, 2023 - These come with up to eight Zen 4 cores and 12 CUs, and desktop variants shouldn't be much different. Still, this is a big improvement over Rembrandt (Zen3+/RDNA2), which was never introduced as a desktop CPU. As a reminder, the latest desktop APUs from AMD are the Ryzen 5000G series, which uses Zen 3 cores and Vega graphics.

November 23, 2022 - Even though all Ryzen 7000 chips will have baked-in iGPUs, the company will still release Zen 4 APUs with beefier iGPUs. The company will also bring its Smart Shift ECO tech, which allows shifting the graphical work between the iGPU and a discrete ...
