Ryzen 7000 Mobile Processors Arrive on Laptops
AMD has introduced a range of Ryzen 7000 series mobile processors for laptops. But bear in mind, not all Ryzen 7000 series processors are based onZen 4. Some are built on Zen 3 and Zen 2 as well. So let’s briefly discussAMD’s new naming scheme.
AMD is looking to outclass Intel’s i9-13980HX mobile processor, which comes with 24 cores. However, out of Intel’s 24 cores, we know 16 are efficiency cores, but AMD’s all 16 cores are performance cores, which is unreal. This isessentially a desktop CPU(closer to Ryzen 9 7950X) but with a lower TDP. There are also other processors under this series — Ryzen 9 7845HX (12C/24T), Ryzen 7 7745HX (8C/16T), and Ryzen 5 7645HX (6C/12T). As for integrated graphics, it has 2 Computer Cores based on RDNA 2.
AMD has released three impressive X3D desktop processors which include Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 7900X3D, and 7800X3D. You will get your hands on these chips in February. The company is looking to reclaim the crown of the best desktop processor with theRyzen 9 7950X3D. It will be interesting to see how well it performs against Intel’sCore i9-13900K processor.
The top-tier chipset will have 16 cores and 32 threads with aTDP of 120 watts. And the total cache size (L2 + L3) is a massive 150MB. AMD claims that you will get around 52% performance improvement in productivity apps and around 15% gain in CPU-bound gaming titles.
Thankfully, AMD has announced someaffordable desktop CPUsbased on the new Zen 4 architecture. There are 3 Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs, which include Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600. The Ryzen 9 7900 comes with 12 cores and 24 threads and it’s priced at $429. On the other hand, Ryzen 7 7700 with 8 cores and 16 threads is priced at $329. Lastly, the most affordable is the Ryzen 5 7600, which includes 6 cores and 12 threads and comes at a price of $229. All of these processors will be available starting January 10.
AMD has launched four new RX 7000 series laptop GPUs based on the latest RDNA 3 architecture. And three Radeon 6000 series laptop GPUs based on RDNA 2 architecture. The RDNA 3-based laptop GPUs areRadeon RX 7600M XT, 7600M, 7700S, and 7600S.
