AMD

Brand introduced new laptops and desktop processors for 2022

At a special "Product Premiere 2022" virtual event, AMD presented a complete line of new Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors for powerful and high-performance notebooks for business and gaming. Also, AMD presented an upgraded Ryzen 5000 series desktop with revolutionary 3D V-Cache technology, and the highlight of the event was the first demonstration and live demonstration of the upcoming "Zen4" generation of Ryzen processors.

The AMD Ryzen 6000 Series of Accelerated Processors (APUs) is based on Zen3 + processor cores and RDAN2 graphics architecture. The new AMD Ryzen 6000 series APUs are manufactured using TSMC's 6 nanometer lithography technology. Combining the most advanced processor and graphics architecture and state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series APUs push the boundaries of performance and 1080p gaming experience even in the most demanding "AAA" titles.

It all starts with the Zen architecture, and the AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors are built on the advanced AMD Zen 3+ architecture, optimized to deliver incredible wattage performance. These are the fastest AMD Ryzen processors to date, with speeds up to 5 GHz, up to 1.3 times faster processing speeds and up to 2.1 times faster than the 5000 Series.

The Zen 3+ core delivers power and efficiency, through new adaptive power management features that quickly adjust speed and new deep sleep states that help save energy. Compared to previous-generation AMD Ryzen processors, the AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors can use up to 30% less power for video conferencing. This results in incredible battery life with Ryzen 6000 series processors that achieve up to 24 hours of single-charge movie playback, all in a cool, quiet laptop.

With up to eight high-performance cores, each capable of performing multiple tasks at once and delivering 16 threads of processing power, AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors deliver superior performance to ultra-thin laptops, with up to 11% higher single-thread performance and up to 28 % faster multi-thread performance compared to the previous generation.

The GPU part within the AMD Ryzen 6000 series of APUs is based on the RDNA 2 graphics architecture - the same one that powers the most powerful Radeon 6000 series desktop graphics cards and new game consoles from Microsoft and Sony. With twice the gaming performance of the Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors, the RDAN2-powered AMD Ryzen 6000 series APUs provide a complete 1080p gaming experience and up to 70% better performance than the competition.

In addition to the new CPU and GPU architectures, the AMD Ryzen 6000 series of mobile APUs also brings a completely new platform with support for a number of innovative technologies:

-Advanced DDR5 memory for notebooks

-Ultra fast USB4 and PCIe 4.0 connectivity interfaces

-AI triggered background and noise removal

-Ultra-fast WiFi 6E solutions from partner companies Qualcomm and MediaTek

The AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are the first x86 processors to fully support Windows 11 advanced security features with an integrated Microsoft Pluto security processor, offering a secure system, providing true chip-to-cloud security. Combined with other leading AMD security features, such as AMD Secure Processor and AMD Memory Guard, this makes the AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors the most innovative x86 processors in the world.

The first laptops with AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors are expected to be available from leading OEM partners such as Asus, Dell and HP starting in February 2022. During the year, AMD expects wide availability of more than 200 consumer and commercial laptops on basis of the Ryzen portfolio for 2022.

Together with AMD, Lenovo will introduce customers this spring to the new ThinkPad Z, an ultra-premium business notebook powered by AMD Ryzen PRO 6000 series processors. Lenovo and AMD have worked closely together to deliver superior platform design, flawless audio and video performance, maximum responsiveness, enhanced security features from Microsoft Pluto Security Processor and Lenovo ThinkShield.

For all desktop enthusiasts and PC gamers, AMD has introduced the new, fastest, AMD Ryzen gaming processor - the Ryzen 7 5800X3D! This is the first processor in the world to use revolutionary 3D transistor stacking technology. At the base of the powerful "Zen3" core is a vertically placed chip that consists of 64MB L3 cache, which is connected into a single unit with the existing 32MB L3 cache, for a total super-massive capacity of as much as 96MB L3 cache! AMD calls this technology 3D V-cache and it enables outstanding performance accelerations in everyday work, especially in games. Sales of the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor start in the spring, and AMD has announced that the new processor will be compatible with existing AM4 400 and 500 series motherboards.

For the very end of the "Product Premiere 2022" virtual event, AMD left the demonstration and announcement of its new "Zen4" microarchitecture and processor based on it. AMD received a working prototype of silicon produced in 5nm from TSMC's factory, and it demonstrated playing a new HALO game, with a processor operating frequency of 5GHz, on all cores! "Zen4" based Ryzen processors will come in a brand new LGA package and will use a brand new AM5 socket with contact pins - 1718 of them, on the motherboard itself, which will support DDR5 memory and PCI Express 5.0 interface. AMD has announced that the new Zen4 processors will hit the market in the second half of this year.
