While AMD may not have a physical presence at CES 2022, they will still be holding their own press conference on January 4 2022. With a mere few days to go until the big event, details have been revealed that AMD will be announcing several new mobile CPUs in addition to a Mobile GPU during their conference. These ‘Rembrandt’ branded Ryzen 6000 CPUs will be following in line with the previous naming convention, where we previously saw Ryzen 4000 CPUs in mobile hardware only. Therefore, I think we can safely assume that any Zen 4 desktop-based products will instead go by the name of Ryzen 7000.
These ‘H’ designated CPUs all use a Zen 3+ CPU in addition to RDNA 2 GPU cores, making them the cutting-edge Ryzen mobile processors that we’re likely to see rolled out in laptops which will also be announced at CES, equipped with this hardware.
Ryzen ‘Rembrandt’ CPUs to be announced
There are several SKUs that AMD will be heating up according to WCCFTech. These include the following:
- AMD Ryzen 9 6980HX, 8 cores, 16 threads, 6nm process node, 16MB L3 and 3MB L2 cache, up to 5GHz
- AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, 8 cores, 16 threads, 6nm process node, 16MB L3 and 3MB L2 cache, up to 4.9GHz
- AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, 8 cores, 16 threads, 6nm process node, 16MB L3 and 3MB L2 cache, up to 4.7GHz
Obviously, while these processors all share the same core architecture of a 6nm modified Zen 3 node named Zen 3+, the clock speeds and binning of the chips themselves will present the performance differences in these chips. According to early reports from Videocardz, the Ryzen 9 6980HX may be able to hit speeds of up to 5GHz, with a power consumption of only 45W.
New Radeon mobile GPU to be announced
Rather lighter on details than the Rembrandt CPUs, we also understand that there will be a new Radeon mobile GPU announced at the presentation, named the Radeon RX 6850M XT. According to the images that we can see from Videocardz, the GPU equipped on the board is only using an RX 6700M, which leaves solder space for an additional RAM module, which is presumably for the Radeon 6850M XT, meaning that we could potentially see 12GB of VRAM on this mobile GPU.
