AMD Details Renoir: The Ryzen Mobile 4000 Series 7nm APU Uncovered
I haven't had a chance to read the whole article yet, but Hardware unboxed says that the performance comparison AMD shows is for 15 W Renoir vs 25 W Intel chips.

It's fine, they can get the same sort of base clock with the 10980HK at 3.1GHz and a whopping 5.3GHz boost!Also, 4900H -> 8C/16T, 8 CU Vega, 4.4 GHz boost, and 3.3 GHz base clock! That's not something to sneeze at. As I said in another topic: good luck Comet Lake.
Yeah, in other words, not in a meaningful wayIt's fine, they can get the same sort of base clock with the 10980HK at 3.1GHz and a whopping 5.3GHz boost!
Please don't look at the 65W TDP and >100W PL2
Zen2 and 7nm HD allow for the possibility that large decreases in power will produce only minimal decreases in performance. This also means that large increases in power don't produce much increase in performance. So I'd say a full Zen2 monolithic chip isn't likely to produce as many gains over 1800X, I'd still expect 15% IPC gain over original Zen.How is Renoir Zen2 IPC 25% greater than Zen based APUs? Could this mean that a Desktop Renoir(full Zen2 monolithic chip) be 25% higher IPC than desktop Ryzen 1800X?
That's a terrible slide. It's based on AMD taking an 'average' power consumption and extrapolating based on the size of the battery, and then the next slide is them mixing and matching a number of percentages based on what workloads AMD thinks represents an 'average user'.
Now that's how you talk about battery life. A good and proper breakdown.
I like this slide.
That seems more like an artist's impression - the same style that we see on Nvidia's "die shots". For a real die shot we'll probably need to wait a few months for Fritchens Fritz to get their hands on one.Is anyone else confused about the die? As I am?

AMD does state it is the die, even though it is a render.
AMD needs better interns.Is anyone else confused about the die? As I am?

The companies building the laptops and desktops that these APUs wind up in don’t like doing a xx50 release and want a whole new name scheme because the customers really get sold on having a 3000-series instead of a 2000-series CPU.I really wish it wasn't basically the apocalypse out there, this should be bigger news than it is. It was agonizing watching AMD release bogus '3000' series mobile SKUs that were just Zen+, quite a letdown after watching Zen2 hulk out and wreck the desktop world. Better late than never at least. Although I hate that the naming convention is sort of busted now. Zen+ mobile should have had a 2000 series family name. Perhaps with a 50 added in (2650U etc or whatever) as a middle ground so they didn't have to make it this offset naming convention.
Might that be the GPU?Is anyone else confused about the die? As I am?

No, the GPU is the 8 long rectangular structures to the right of that.Might that be the GPU?
However, that is in general a bad spot to place the GPU.No, the GPU is the 8 long rectangular structures to the right of that.
Thank you.No, the GPU is the 8 long rectangular structures to the right of that.
When would laptops with these chips are available. I want to buy a laptop. Last I bought a AMD Laptop was early 2006 for my dad
I'm telling you.... if these are really $1000 and $1200.....Are you a human?
