AMD may have just teased its next Raven Ridge APU for high-end notebooks.
We have already seen the benefit that these APUs can offer allowing for 1080p gaming without discrete graphics, as long as youre comfortable dialing back some of the detail settings.The Ryzen 7 2800H was hinted at in a slide during AMDs Hot Chips presentation, where the company was detailing its progress on the 25x20 initiative.
This will see the chip manufacturer boost energy efficiency of all chips 25 times by 2020.More information about the mobile chip showed up on HPs website, as reported by Toms Hardware.
This Raven Ridge APU will supposedly be a quad-core chip and will rock a 3.35GHz base frequency with a 3.8GHz boost beefy for a mobile chip.
This high-end mobile chip was teased next to a Ryzen 5 2600H, as well.Future specAMDs focus on boosting energy efficiency every year might see this new APU manufactured on a smaller process.
The slides AMD showed off already mentioned that these next-generation Raven Ridge chips will have a smaller die size, so its within the realm of possibility to move to a 12-nanometer (nm) process.This might push AMD Ryzen mobile chips ahead of Intels offerings especially considering that Intel has been stuck on a 14nm process for a while now.
Maybe some of the best Ultrabooks of 2018 will have AMD instead of Intel Inside.
