I just hope this AI 5 330 chip gets into one laptop model and ends up being forgotten. Otherwise it's gonna be sad - mainstream Ryzen 5 quad-core laptops are still gonna be a thing well past 2025. 7520U wasn't the end apparently.

Interesting how they are doing IOD halves for both SP7 and SP8. For SP7, each IOD-half has 48 gen6 lanes, 4 gen4 lanes, and 8 mem ch. For SP8, each IOD-half has 64 gen6 lanes, 4 gen4 lanes, and 4 mem ch.

5500X3D suddenly appears https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/5000-series/amd-ryzen-5-5500x3d.html LATAM only. I don't even know, with those core clocks it "might" beat 12600K, but probably not.

That's not happening. LPDDR6 is not some incredible jump in speed. Nobody will downsize it this way.

Nah, mendocino is too weak for that (it has 2 gpu CUs). Z2 A is a renamed Steam deck chip instead

Can't do on AM5 though, all pins already assigned. AMD could make some kind of new "promontory 25" chipset that includes USB4 ports. That's more likely.

This doesn't fit AMD at all. It looks more like a wishlist from a random forum user.

that's... made up? why are you confident in N3 for 12C classic? why is there a random jump from HP to HD in 192->256? reduce+reuse is like the whole motto of chiplets.

They are part of the same ryzen 7000 series, so that's obviously not true. 7520U and 7545U.

it's a 2026-2027 prediction, obviously there's no leaks yet. I bet even AMD doesn't know. Summer release worked fine for strix point, It can happen again. Release High-end in limited quantities in 2026 Q3-Q4, increase production and introduce lower end models in 2027 CES

7040 zen 4 phoenix to 8040 zen 4 hawk is also that - reuse of the same silicon.

I think it's the rumored KRK2 die

It's not +95%, the chart is just not readable It's +95% at 45W, in relation to 100%, which is CBR23 MT score of HX 370 at 15W. HX 370 itself gets +83% to the score when going from 15 to 45W. So the difference between CPUs is at most 5-6%

Interesting thing - there's 2 new skus at the bottom: 4-6 cores, 2-4 CUs, 50 tops, 12-14MB cache, and most importantly - just 14 PCIe lanes. I'm 90% sure it's a new die, a successor to small phoenix. 4 CU of RDNA 3.5 is awful though, just a bit better than several years old 5600G/5700G

the CPU in 16e is about 8-10% slower clock for clock. data from this geekbench test. Probably sub-par cooling and sub-par chip.
