Last week, the PC industry saw several important events of concern: NVIDIA launched a number of mobile entry-level graphics cards, including models such as RTX 2050, MX 550 and MX 570; AMD will launch a number of new products during CES 2022, including desktop and mobile Ryzen 6000 series processors; Intel 12th-generation Core mobile processors contain multiple models to meet the needs of users' refined use; Apple will launch a new standalone display next year to meet the content creation needs of individual users.
· NVIDIA introduces mobile RTX 2050 graphics
Recently, NVIDIA released three notebook entry-level graphics cards, namely the RTX 2050, MX 550 and MX 570. At present, the NVIDIA official website has announced the specific parameters of RTX 2050.
According to NVIDIA's official website, the RTX 2050 graphics card has 2048 stream processors, more than the RTX 2060, but the video memory capacity is only 4GB 64bit GDDR6, and the bandwidth is only one-third of the RTX 2060. However, the power consumption of the RTX 2050 is only 30-45W, which is more suitable for use in the thin and light product line.
The RTX 2050 is a key addition to the GeForce RTX 20 series laptop lineup. Like other RTX 2050 graphics cards, the RTX 2050 graphics card features RT Core, Tensor Core, and NVIDIA Encoder encoders, and supports features such as ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, Reflex, and Broadcast. The RTX 2050 also works seamlessly with NVIDIA Optimus technology to strike the perfect balance between long battery life and optimal performance.
Spicy cool comment: Throughout the year's graphics card market, the problem of shortage of goods and price increases has been accompanied, and the root cause of this phenomenon is the lack of chip production capacity. In addition to the serious increase in the price of desktop graphics cards, the notebook market has also been affected, and the threshold for players to enter new notebooks has also been raised. In order to further stabilize the market order, NVIDIA recently launched a number of entry-level products, including the desktop RTX 2060 12GB graphics card and RTX 3050 series. The newly launched mobile RTX 2050, MX 550 and MX 570 graphics cards are mainly aimed at the thin and light book market, so that the thin and light books can maintain a certain cost performance while also being able to perform more productivity tasks.
· AMD's new Ryzen™ 6000 Series processors are coming soon
AMD will host its 2022 new product launch on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 23:00 Beijing time. The conference, still hosted by Dr. Su Zifeng, will focus on the new Ryzen™ processor and Radeon graphics card.
AMD will introduce a new Ryzen™ 6000 processor during CES 2022, including both desktop and mobile series. Among them, the desktop Ryzen 6000 processor codename vermeer S, still based on the 7nm process, but the use of a new 3D V-Cache technology, can increase additional cache capacity, game performance compared to the Ryzen™ 5000 series can be increased by about 15%.
The mobile Ryzen™ 6000 processor is still divided into two different models of Ryzen™ 6000H and Ryzen™ 6000U, which are used for game books and thin and light platforms, cpu architecture upgrade Zen3+, GPU architecture upgrade RDNA 2, and manufacturing process may also be upgraded to 6nm.
In terms of graphics cards, AMD will continue to improve the current product layout of RX 6000 graphics cards, and launch the entry-level RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 to cover more entry-level players.
Spicy cool review: AMD will bring a variety of products at CES 2022, including desktop and mobile Ryzen 6000 series processors, compared to the previous Ryzen™ 5000 series processors, the upgrade is huge. The desktop side is still based on the 7nm process and Zen 3 architecture, but the use of a new 3D V-Cache technology, which allows the processor to obtain additional cache capacity, the game performance is more prominent. The mobile terminal has been upgraded to a 6nm process, which means that the AMD 7nm process era will gradually come to an end, and for the first time, it is equipped with an RNDA 2 architecture core display, which also improves the graphics processing performance of the processor, that is to say, the Ryzen 6000 series notebook can smoothly perform more complex tasks without the help of a unique display. So according to this view, the Ryzen 6000 processor is fully capable of coping with the strong rise of Intel Twelve Cores.
· Intel 12th Generation Core Mobile Processors will include multiple models
As the CES 2022 show is getting closer and closer, Intel will release a new mobile 12th-generation Core processor at this show, and the parameters and performance of many products have been exposed. In addition to the mainstream models such as the i7-12700H and i5-12500H, the 12th generation Core mobile terminal may include other new members.
Recently, i5-12450H and i7-12650H debuted in the Geekbench database, the former 4 large core 4 small core design, with 8 cores 12 threads, L3 cache of 12MB; the latter has 6 large cores 4 small core design, with 8 cores 12 threads, level 3 cache of 24MB. In the actual running process, the single-core performance of these two processors is on the same level as the AMD 5800X, and the multi-core performance is slightly inferior to the latter.
Spicy cool review: Intel will bring more 12th generation Core new products at CES 2022, in addition to the 12th generation Core desktop non-K series standard edition processors, the first 12th generation Core mobile terminal processors will also be available, is expected to include standard and low voltage two series. Mobile and desktop, the same will use the size of the core architecture and Intel 7 process, and may support PCIe 5.0 channels and DDR5 memory, performance performance, use experience compared to the previous generation of products have also been significantly improved. Judging from the news revealed so far, each series of 12th-generation Core mobile terminal products may include multiple models, and the parameters of operating frequency and power consumption will be slightly different to meet the differentiated use needs of users.
Apple is expected to launch a new standalone display next year
Recently, it has been reported that Apple is developing a display with daily users as the main audience, which is more affordable than the Pro Display XDR. If this news is true, this display will be Apple's first display for mainstream consumers since 2016.
Compared with the previous professional Pro Display XDR display, the brightness and contrast of this display have been reduced, but the resolution still reaches 4.5K, which can meet the needs of most users. The appearance is the same as the current 27-inch iMac, but the hosting part is removed.
In terms of specific parameters, Apple's new display has two sizes, namely 24 inches and 27 inches, with a resolution of 4480x2520, a maximum brightness of 500 nits, support for 1 billion color displays, DCI-P3 wide color gamut display and True Tone technology. The 27-inch model may also support mini LED backlighting and ProMotion adaptive refresh rate technology.
Spicy cool comment: Over the years, Apple computer with its exquisite process design level, excellent performance by the majority of consumers favored. In addition, Apple computer also has a mature software ecology and superb screen quality, and is also the preferred content creation tool for professional users. Apple launched a professional content creation display in the past few years - Pro Display XDR, which is used with Mac Pro and has become the first choice for many studios, but the price of the display is nearly 50,000 yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary users. Judging from the parameters of the current exposure, Apple's new entry-level independent display exceeds the mainstream display on the market in terms of size, resolution, color performance, etc., which is enough to meet the needs of individual users.
