Ryzen 7000 APU are Going Straight to RDNA 3!

Let’s get started with AMD. ever since the launch of Ryzen CPU’s I’ve been personally super interested in their integrated graphics. It started with the 2200 and 2400G that went up to 4 CPU cores, and up to 11 Vega cores. Then we had the 3200 and 3400G which had the same setup. Now, for some reason, past that with the 4000g series and 5000g series of chips, the Vega graphics were maxed out at 8 compute units. I mean sure, they were still better because of the super high clock speed, but still, I was a little disappointed that they dropped the 11 Vega core versions.

Anyways, Why am I talking about this? Well, now that its the end of vega graphics for APU’s we’ve been waiting for AMD to drop their RDNA-based ones. So far, with all the information that was dug up through drivers and leaks, we thought that the first to pop up would be with RDNA 2. I mean the steam deck got it, the consoles got it, so it would make sense.

But it looks like AMD is going to go straight to RDNA 3 here. Not only that, but the specs look pretty good! This information comes from Kepler over on Twitter, a reputable source in data scavenging, and he says that Phoenix, the codename for the next-gen APU, will be sporting RDNA 3 graphics. Now, this breaks the roadmap we’ve had for years now but it's still expected that it would feature a Zen 4 CPU. It could be Zen 3+ Since I mean the new 6000 series laptop chips are compatible with DDR5 memory, and APU’s are usually just laptop chips with a higher TDP, so it could be either but im leaning on Zen 4.

Really excited about new APU's! Loving seeing potential builds that don't require a separate GPU.

[Mopantsu]

APU's will replace low end GPU's. AMD need to do this because Intel are pushing ARC for laptops.

[themusesquad]

Nvidia deserve getting pushed out. They have been increasing prices every gen and taking advantage of the market.
Remember when $1k wqs thr CRAZY price of a Titan card.
Well now $1k is a mid range 3080 MSRP

[willgart]

having chiplets design for CPU and GPU allows AMD to make any combinations. So 1 CPU chiplet side by side with 1 RDNA chiplet...
and, like they (AMD) said in 1 video, they are planning to 3D stack anything on top of the CPU...


so more stuff coming in the next years.
next portable consoles will be crazy

[whatyareckon]

There's talk of APUs with 16CUs clocked at 3ghz. Low end GPUs will be dead.

[nhanNguyen-wofy]

First thought I'm excited ryzen 7000 laptop with no dGPU, but when thinking about AMD will kill competition for at least several years I'm worried.
This will kill Intel dGPU for years.

Not sure, but I felt background music to be a bit louder. I am running a Ryzen 4650g and really happy with performance. If RDNA 3 based APUs does land ( Not only for OEMs) I will build a tiny p.c with those.

[HuntaKiller]

Zen3 is still strong by today's standard even goin fwd
Igpu should really step their game up tho
Even my i7 4770 is good enough to be paired with rtx3050
Imagine ryzen Phoenix APU comes with ryzen 5600(cpu) and rx6600 or lower like 3050 igpu
That should still be a beast for 1080p gaming and lite 4K

@Boot Sequence,
YA Know for a while now I have been thinking we would have Next Gen PC CPU`s as The 6000 Series, However after taking just a Minute To Actually LOOK, 6000 Series Will Be For Mobile ONLY, hmmm
It was a Little Confusing to hear that they would be Skipping 6000 Series For Next Gen ( PC ) and going Straight To 7000 Series for PC application .

[mojoneko]

I have been waiting for this. With the events of the last few years my interest in building a high end gaming PC is about zero. I have been considering building a SFF ITX PC with the 5700G but I may hold out for the 7700G to drop. I would be using it more as an HTPC for streaming on my home theater than for gaming. Thanks for the video.

[toml]

No one talking about rdna2 in zen 4 desktop cpus??

[LIUXIN]

So ray tracing on APU is possible. That is something.

[christopherjames]

These new apu's will most likely be mobile only. No desktop.

[KrK-EST]

Still have the 2200g dainy driver, also game on it, 1 game open atm. perfect on linux.

[KrK-EST]

Waiting for the 20+ iGPU core cpu vatiant, 6 core cpu is fine 8 is good too but more has not that mutch of a point(cpu clock at stock 4, 5 and will oc it to 5, 2 and iGPU understand they comestock st 3ghz so hopefully can oc it up to 3, 6 but 3, 3 is also real good).
Have powerful passive cooling system on my conputer, my whole pc is more quiet than the abinant backround noise in the building and corrent APU at max load and long stress only has gone up to 72C in hot summer days, usually a 33to 42 at low to medium load and up to 66c while gaming.

[darwineligio]

Desktop apu that is as powerful as 3060 please, I'll never need a discrete gpu.

[Kitten_Stomper]

Will APUs be able to mine crypto like dedicated graphics though?

[awsan]

If these are as fast as X050 GPUs that will be sweet.

[AD-lliz]

cant wait for handheld gaming on this apu

[Meoknet]

Ryzen 6000 (Zen 3+ / RDNA2) is coming to desktop before we get the Zen 4 APUs.
