AMD Ryzen 7 2800H, Ryzen 5 2600H APUs Listed With Vega Graphics
Sep. 19, 2018AMD has quietly added two new laptop APUs to its lineup. Dubbed theRyzen 7 2800HandRyzen 5 2600H, the chips are meant for gaming laptops and are based on the company’s Raven Ridge design. Both come with Zen CPU cores and integrated Vega graphics, and support the DDR4-3200 standard as a base specification.
Both feature a similar design to their desktop counterparts, but are rated at a configurable TDP of between 35W to 54W. While that makes them significantly more power-hungry than the 2500U and 2700U that were introduced last year with 15W TDPs, much of that excess power consumption is because the new APUs are clocked significantly higher (1 GHz+) when compared to the older chips.
The new APUs are still rated much lower than the 65W TDP found on the corresponding desktop parts, thanks largely to lower frequencies.
It is worth noting that AMD hasn’t issued any press release to officially announce the new launches, but they have been listed in the company’s product catalog. We do not have any details about pricing and availability just yet, nor do we have info about any incoming laptops that will be powered by either of the two chips. However, we should expect manufacturers to start offering products with the new APUs in the coming months.
