In the early morning of January 4, AMD will release a new generation of Ryzen™ 6000 series processors at CES 2022, the desktop version is to add 128MB cache on the basis of the Ryzen 5000, and the mobile version of the Ryzen 6000 series will upgrade the 6nm process, up to 8 cores 45W TDP, the total number of 24 models.
The Ryzen 5000 series APU released in early 2021 still has some regrets, there are compromises in the technical specifications, and the frequency is not high enough, so the Ryzen 6000 series has improved a lot, the Zen3 architecture CPU core has further improved energy efficiency under the 6nm process, and the acceleration frequency of the flagship Ryzen 9 6980HX can reach 5GHz, which is higher than the desktop version.
However, the biggest change is the GPU core, the Ryzen 6000 series can finally eliminate the Vega core that has been used for many years, this time will upgrade the RDNA2 Navi architecture, up to 6 WGP (working group), may be 12 computing units, 768 stream processors, it is said to be named Radeon 680M.
The previous Ryzen™ 5000H was criticized for castrating PCIe 4.0, and now the Ryzen 6000 series has also been supplemented, supporting PCIe 4.0 x8 graphics cards, x4 peripherals, and stronger game and storage expansion capabilities.
In addition, the SKU model of the Ryzen 6000 series has also been excavated, a total of 24 models, of which 12 are FP7 slots, 12 are FP7R2 slots, although the specific name has not yet been recognized, but they will be divided into Ryzen 6000 and Ryzen 6000 Pro, TDP power consumption is 28W, 45W, the former should be low-power Ryzen 6000U, the latter is the Ryzen 6000H series for the game book.
Considering that some models of the Ryzen 5000U/H series are not outdated now, so it cannot be completely ruled out that there will be vests of the former in the 24 Ryzen 6000 series processors, AMD focuses on upgrading the high-end series this time, and there should be some models of the Ryzen 5000U/5000H series in the low-end products.
