Zen 5-based AMD Strix point APUs reportedly coming with up to 16 core CPU and 8 WGP RDNA 3+ iGPU with 3 GHz+ clock speed

[Redaktion]

AMD launched the "Phoenix-HS" APUs at CES 2023. The APUs are based on Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 iGPUs. AMD will follow the Phoenix-HS APUs with the launch of "Strix Point" APUs next year that will combine a Zen 5 CPU and an RDNA 3+ iGPU. Paul from RedGamingTech has now alleged that the CPU and iGPU on Strix Point APUs will pack up to 16 cores and 16 RDNA 3+ Compute Units respectively.

AMD, Intel's antitrust pad, stop feeding consumers breakfast. Where is Zen4 Phoenix, here and now, where are they in stores on April 4th, where are a bunch of business laptops with them? There is nothing! What the hell Zen5, we are not interested in it! Give Zen4 Phoenix!

AMD has been producing paper series of processors for years, and Intel has been selling real...

Did it? Can we really say they launched it in early January when there's still no Phoenix APU available, on its own or in laptops, in April?

ZEN 5 für die Fans, worauf ich und die ganze Welt warten, sind die AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix = LPDDR5 + RDNA 3 + USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + künstliche Intelligenz mit XDNA-Architektur, entwickelt von Xilinx, einem der wichtigsten Unternehmen in Künstliche Intelligenz für Holen Sie das Beste aus dem zukünftigen Windows 12 Office und den neuen Direct XII-APIs und allem bei 4 nm gegenüber 10 nm von Intel.
Mal sehen, ob die OEMs merken, dass wir Intel nicht wollen, wir wollen diese AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix schon auf dem Markt haben und nicht mehr so ��lange warten

Wasn't cheaper reuse Dragon range zen 4 16cores with 16CU RDNA3+? And use it also as G serie (55-125W tdp)

Once the APU with 8+ cores(using RDNA3+ and DDR5), becomes available for laptops and desktops, this will mark the beginning of the end of people buying expensive discrete GPUs(except for the enthusiast or as latter option) for personal computers.

8 big, 8 small, 16 CUs, doubled L3 is about the best you could have hoped for top Strix Point. That would make a nice desktop APU.

Increasing the max DDR5/LPDDR5 memory speeds should be enough for a modest graphics performance increase.

why would they mix two different arch.like Zen5 cores with Zen4c if there will be with 100% certainity a Zen5c version of efficient core ?

If it was chiplet-based, they could do it to mix a new node like N3 with an older, cheaper node like N4/N5. If it's monolithic, I'm not entirely sure, unless the older core is inherently smaller or something. The Zen 3 CCD was physically larger than Zen 2.

Guess we'll find out once AMD actually starts releasing any hybrid products (like Phoenix 2).

No entiendo alemán, o sea que te escribo en castellano.
No tengo ni idea de lo que has escrito (y no tengo ganas de usar un traductor online), o sea que me lo voy a inventar.
Yo también tengo ganas de ver el 7940HS en portátiles y mini-PC ya mismo. Yo estoy esperando a que minisforum saque el suyo y poder enchufarlo a mi home cinema.
Por desgracia no creo que vaya a estar disponible hasta finales de año como pronto (sabiendo los enormes retrasos que tiene AMD desde que "dice" que lanza una CPU hasta que la ves en dispositivos).
