The AMD Ryzen 7000 would have an integrated RDNA2 GPU with a frequency of 1.1GHz

Until now, the only processors for Ryzen desktop PCs with iGPUs were the G-series chips, but sThat’s expected to change with the release of Zen 4 processors later this year. For now, details are still scarce, but the rumors and leaks have already started.

By now, you should know that AMD plans to release the first Zen 4-based processors during the second half of 2022. We suspect these will be the Ryzen 7000, which is said to feature RDNA2 iGPUs, but so far, AMD hasn’t. has said nothing.

However, there have been rumors about the specifications of these iGPUs. The latter speaks of will have 2 x group processors (WGP)/4 x Compute Units (CU) clocked at 1100 MHz, but the filterer Komachi Ensaka points out that this is just an assumption. Still, if it proves to be true, we assume it will have 256x stream processors.

Based on these specifications, the Ryzen 7000 series iGPU would offer a theoretical performance of more than 0.55 TFLOPs, a considerable improvement over Vega-based solutions. Compared to other iGPU solutions today, that’s about a third of the graphics performance of the Steam Deck.

Despite its performance, the Ryzen 7000 series iGPU will primarily be used as a display engine for basic tasks, but imagine what a few more cores would do. That’s what we expect from the Ryzen 7000 mobile chips, which are expected to be much more powerful when it comes to video.

The Ryzen 7000 series is due out later this year, AMD says during the second half of 2022. Based on the 5nm process node, the new processors will use the new LGA1718/AM5 socket, breaking away from the PGA design of the socket. AM4. Additionally, the new platform will support PCIe 5.0 connectivity and DDR5 memory.
