Although the first laptop models based on the new Ryzen 4000 “Renoir” are just starting to appear, based on Zen 2 + Vega at 7nm, AMD is already working on its successor, who would arrive as Cézanne and would be based on Zen 3+ RDNA 2.
These new APUs they would be the first to say goodbye to Vega, architecture that AMD has been using for quite some time and that it is time to change. The step to the new architecture RDNA2 will bring with it a huge increase in IPC and support for multiple new instructions, allowing to compete against the new Tiger Lake with Xe graphics prepared by Intel. Needless to say, they will not use all the RDNA2 components, for example hardware Ray-Tracing, since it is an APU and not a dedicated graphic, and its power is not as high, let alone the size of the chip.
On the CPU side, will use Zen 3 architecture, which will debut first with the new EPYC and Ryzen later this year, with 15% more IPC than Zen 2 and better consumption, so from all aspects it should be an excellent option for laptops.
Are you eager to see more about AMD Cézanne? How do you think they will compare against Intel Tiger Lake?
