3DNews Technologies and IT market. News laptops and netbooks AMD introduced mobile processors Ryz… The most interesting in the reviews
01/12/2021 [20:11], Ilya Gavrichenkov As expected, at CES 2021, AMD today announced the new Ryzen 5000 mobile processor family. It includes 10 Zen 3 processors, codenamed Cezanne, as well as three Zen 2 architecture chip models known codename Lucienne (Renoir Refresh).
The Ryzen 5000 processors introduced today fall into two classes. The first class is H-processors, which are built on the new Zen 3 architecture, have up to 8 processing cores and are equipped with a Vega graphics core. The thermal package of such processors is set at 35 or 45 W and they are primarily aimed at gaming laptop models with discrete graphics. The second class are energy-efficient U-processors, which are based on the Zen 3 and Zen 2 architectures (depending on the model), usually have fewer cores and lower operating frequencies, and are also enclosed in a 15-watt thermal package. 9Ol000 (W) | Architecture | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX | 8C/16T | Up to 4.8 / 3.3 | 16 | 45+ | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS | 8C/16T | Up to 4.8 / 3.0 | 16 | 35 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX | 8C/16T | Up to 4. 6 / 3.3 |
16 | 45+ | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS | 8C/16T | Up to 4.6 / 3.0 | 16 | 35 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | 8C/16T | Up to 4.4 / 3.2 | 16 | 45 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS | 8C/16T | Up to 4.4 / 2.8 | 16 | 35 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 5600H | 6C/12T | Up to 4.2 / 3.3 | 16 | 45 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS | 6C/12T | Up to 4.2 / 3.0 | 16 | 35 | Zen 3 |
HX processors with 45+W TDP are designed for high performance gaming laptops, while HS processors with reduced TDP to 35W deliver H-series performance in a thinner and lighter package.
All Cezanne mobile processors, like their predecessors, are based on a monolithic 7nm die with 16MB L3 cache.
The graphics core remains old, it’s the same Vega with eight CUs that was used in Renoir (Ryzen 4000) mobile processors. Thus, the increase in performance in this case will be mainly provided by the introduction of the Zen 3 architecture, doubling the L3 cache and a rather noticeable increase in the maximum clock frequencies.
Speaking of performance, AMD noted that the new flagship Ryzen 9 5980HX processor is able to improve single-threaded performance by 23% and multi-threaded performance by 17% compared to the previous generation Ryzen 4900H, allowing it to be used both in games and for creating content.
The power efficient Ryzen 5000 U-series lineup is as follows:
| Model | Cores/Threads | Max/Base Clock (GHz) | L3 Cache (MB) | TDP (W) | Architecture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 7 5800U | 8C/16T | Up to 4. 4 / 1.9 |
16 | 15 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 5700U | 8C/16T | Up to 4.3 /1.8 | 8 | 15 | Zen 2 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 5600U | 6C/12T | Up to 4.2 / 2.3 | 16 | 15 | Zen 3 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 5500U | 6C/12T | Up to 4.0 / 2.1 | 8 | 15 | Zen 2 |
| AMD Ryzen 3 5300U | 4C/8T | Up to 3.8 / 2.6 | 4 | 15 | Zen 2 |
Many of the new 15W U-series models look like a rather strange mixture of Cezanne on the Zen 3 architecture and Lucienne (Renoir Refresh) on the Zen 2 architecture, which differ markedly in characteristics, such as size L3 cache. In fact, we are talking about only two really new models — the eight-core Ryzen 7 5800U and the six-core Ryzen 5 5600U, while the rest of the processors are representatives of the Ryzen 4000 series slightly improved in frequency.
0007
It’s no surprise that when talking about the advantages of the Ryzen 5000 U-series, AMD is focusing on the Ryzen 7 5800U with Cezanne design. For such a CPU, compared to the old Ryzen 7 4800U, a 16 percent improvement in single-threaded performance and a 14 percent increase in multi-threaded performance are promised.
Ryzen 4000 processor-based mobile computers have become very common in the past year. According to Mercury Research, by the end of the third quarter, AMD’s share of the notebook processor market reached 20.2%, and this was an all-time high for the company. The new Ryzen 5000 processors should strengthen AMD’s position by introducing a more advanced architecture and increasing performance and efficiency. However, this year the competition in the laptop market will be more fierce, because interesting offers have appeared from Intel. The 35W quad-core 35W Tiger Lake gaming laptops were unveiled yesterday, and Tiger Lake is expected to come out with eight cores by the end of the first quarter.
New laptops powered by Ryzen 5000 mobile processors will be available from major manufacturers including Asus, HP and Lenovo during the first quarter of 2021. And AMD expects to launch a wide range of more than 150 consumer and commercial laptops based on Ryzen 5000 mobile processors throughout 2021. Also in the first half of 2021, Ryzen PRO 5000 mobile processors with additional security features aimed at enterprise laptop models should be released.

impressions of the new line of processors / Sudo Null IT News
Tonight, AMD introduced a new family of Ryzen 7000 processors.
We studied the benchmarks and now we are thinking which processor to take for testing in the Selectel Lab. What would you choose? Voting is under the cut.
Main differences from the previous generation Ryzen 5000:
- Zen 4 architecture, dies with 5nm cores instead of 7nm,
- new Socket AM5 with support for DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 interface,
- integrated graphics on all processors in the line,
- significant increase in base and maximum frequencies,
- L2 cache increase,
- improved performance and energy efficiency.
The company also introduced four chipsets for socket AM5 motherboards: X670 Extreme, X670, B550 Extreme and B550. More productive and, as a result, more expensive X670 will be available in September, and B550 — from October.
What has changed?
The table shows the characteristics of the previous generation AMD Ryzen 5000.
According to AMD, performance per IPC clock will increase by up to 13% and up to 29% for single-threaded performance.
Characteristics on the example of the top processor AMD Ryzen 9 7950X:
- base frequency increased from 3.4 GHz to 4.5 GHz
- maximum frequency changed from 4.9GHz to 5.7 GHz
- doubled L2 cache
- TDP increased from 105W to 170W
- Added integrated graphics, in the AMD Ryzen 5000 generation it was only available in the 5700G and 5600G models
The younger models also do not lag behind in the increase in base frequencies. With such changes in the characteristics of processors, the declared growth looks expected. The use of faster and more powerful DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 will further increase system performance.
Productivity growth in applications
At the presentation, a comparison of the benchmark results of the new AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor against AMD Ryzen 9 5950X in applications was presented:
- V-Ray Render: + 48%
- Blender Render: +30%
- Cinebench R23 nT: +48%
- POV Ray: +45%
A significant increase in performance, rendering speed and data processing is visible.
Similar results were obtained when testing the operation of processors in gaming.
The performance gain of the Zen 4 architecture compared to Zen 3 in various benchmarks is from 4 to 39%.
Prices
The start of sales is scheduled for September 27, the prices are announced as follows:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X — $ 699
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X — $549
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X — $399
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X — $299
Previous generation discounted ahead of new releases on Amazon (shipping in the US):
Ryzen 95950X — $546
Ryzen 9 5900X — $370
Ryzen 7 5700X — $ 279
Interesting arithmetic: with the declared increase in performance in benchmarks up to 45%, the discount on the previous generation was 20-30% of the price of new hardware. Do not forget that DDR5 memory is still more expensive than DDR4, and motherboards with socket AM5 at the start of sales will be expected to cost more than AM4.
All this will affect the final cost of assembly.
Intel competition
AMD compared the new Ryzen 9 7950X with the Intel Core i9-12900K and got the following benchmark results:
- V-Ray Render: +62%
- Blender Render: +36%
- Cinebench R23 nT: +41%
- POV Ray: +41%
Particular emphasis was placed on rendering efficiency combined with low power consumption.
Not surprising, given the difference in TDP processors. At the same time, Intel positions 8 of the 16 cores of the i9 processor-12900K as energy efficient and runs in 24 threads versus 32 for the 7950X. This affects performance in favor of AMD.
However, the Intel Core i9-12900K is priced at $569 on Amazon, which is $130 or 19% cheaper than the new AMD Ryzen 7950X.
Not spared performance benchmarks in games. The entire line of Ryzen 7000 processors presented in AMD’s presentation turned out to be more powerful than the i9-12900K.
