AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and Other APUs Likely to Come to CES

As part of the Consumer Electronics Show, new announcements from AMD are scheduled for the beginning of January. Among other things, the Ryzen 6000 Mobile, also known as Rembrandt, is a new series of laptop processors. There are already rumors about the best Ryzen 9 6900HX model.

I be January 4 AMD is holding the live stream for CES, where the manufacturer will likely introduce innovations like the Ryzen 6000 Mobile. The next generation Ryzen 5000 Mobile is internally called Rembrandt and appears to be bringing one Six nanometers Zen 3’s round chassis, which is Zen 3+. This is evident from a leaked roadmap and report from Wccftech.

Zen 3+ and DDR5 support

The alleged top model of the APU series has been called according to Wccftech Ryzen 9 6900HX and offers Eight cores again Plus 16 threads. Zen 3+ should allow for slightly better performance, but changing from an improved seven-nm production to six-nm production doesn’t bring any major benefits in terms of performance and efficiency. The “3D V-Cache” stack is not yet used in Rembrandt, but will likely launch later in 2022 for desktop processors.

The maximum clock frequency for the Ryzen 9 6900HX remains unchanged 4,6 GHzHowever, Wccftech expects lower power consumption. For the first time, AMD supports DDR5 RAM up to 4800MHz with the Ryzen 6000 Mobile. It is unclear whether DDR4 memory will continue to be compatible. In terms of power consumption, the APU is likely to be in the same category 45 watt class One, but laptop manufacturers can configure a higher value.

iGPU upgraded to RDNA 2

A significant performance increase is expected from the integrated graphics unit. Instead of the old Vega architecture, the iGPU is now supposed to be based on RDNA 2. Accordingly, it should receive a different brand and in the case of the Ryzen 9 6900HX Radeon 680m episode. VideoCardz suspects up to a dozen units of account. The Ryzen 9 is designed for top-tier laptops, so it will likely be paired mostly with a dedicated gaming GPU. Nvidia will likely introduce portable versions of the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti at CES.
