In the past year of 2021, although facing the problem of lack of cores in the global semiconductor market, there is still a certain evolution in notebook products. And in the recent annual CES consumer electronics exhibition is coming to an end, at this CES conference there are also many manufacturers launched a series of related products, so in 2022, notebook products will have what kind of progress, what kind of changes will there be? This time, let's look forward to the notebook market in 2022.
The screen aspect is further evolved:
In mid-2021, many manufacturers have upgraded the notebook screen, including further improving the resolution, from 1080P to 2K, 2.5K and other levels of resolution, and the proportion of the screen has also been improved, from 16:9 to 16:10, in the visual effect can accommodate more display area, which brings a better experience. In 2021, we can also see that with the further maturity of the industry chain, the color gamut coverage of the notebook screen has been further upgraded in the mainstream file notebook has basically completed 100% sRGB coverage, this momentum in 2022 or will be further promoted, high-end price notebooks after covering 100% sRGB or will be further extended to DCI -P3 color gamut coverage, such as Apple's MacBook series.

In the notebook market in 2022 with the further maturity of the industry chain and accelerate into the mainstream price should be equipped with OLED screen notebook products, in 2021, there have been some products to try to use OLED screen in the 5-6K price range to launch the corresponding products, breaking the previous OLED screen products with high prices in the situation, so here is predicted in 2022 will be more products selected to OLED screen, bring better display effects, And it will be possible to further promote the evolution of gamut coverage.
In addition to the use of OLED screen screen, or there will be manufacturers in high-end products and Apple MacBook similar to the mini LED screen, in terms of brightness, contrast to bring visual improvement, of course, the price of this part of the product will not be the mainstream product price.
Connectivity improvements:
In terms of notebook products, in recent years, many mobile phone manufacturers have joined the market, and have played their role in establishing an ecology between multiple devices, so that smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets have been interconnected with the notebook products they launched. Among the traditional PC manufacturers, some manufacturers have realized this, and have added improvements to the interconnection function on their own products, which are compatible with most smart devices.
△ Multi-device interconnection
With the further advancement of the interconnection function between multiple devices, in the notebook market in 2022, the conference will be improved and perfected due to more products, and will be popularized in more and more business books, light and thin books. Traditional manufacturers will further enhance their interconnection compatibility, while the products launched by mobile phone manufacturers will further strengthen the interconnection with other products, bringing experience improvement. A good positive for users.
Peripheral Scalability Upgrades:
At this CES 2022, Intel and AMD have launched a new generation of mobile processor products, and many manufacturers will use the new processors of these two companies to launch new products this year.
We look back at these two products, we can see that AMD and Intel's processing has improved the support for WIFI 6E, for users can further improve the stability of the network connection, compared to the previous support for WIFI 5, WIFI 6, the speed of the connection will also be further improved, so that more promotion can be carried out in terms of network connection, with the gradual popularization of WIFI 6/WIFI 6E network terminals, wireless connections can carry out more content transmission, Bring an upgrade to the experience.
In addition to further upgrading to WIFI 6E in terms of network connectivity, this time the mobile processor has also been upgraded in terms of USB and other extensions. In the previous intel released 11th generation mobile processors on the Support for Raiden IV, you can get greater link bandwidth and better peripheral scalability, can be used to devices such as external graphics docks and so on. On the newly launched Intel 12th generation mobile processor, the support for Raiden IV is also retained.
AmD does not have the addition of Raiden IV, but supports the latest USB4, USB4 is a new USB protocol launched by the USB-IF organization, which adds some content from Raiden III, so it can reach a transmission speed of up to 40Gbps, and the scalability has been greatly improved, so it can support more peripheral expansion. However, it is worth noting that in addition to the maximum speed of 40Gbps, USB4 also has a 20Gbps half-speed option, and it is possible that some manufacturers will use half-speed options to achieve the purpose of reducing costs. In the 2022 notebook purchase, if you are more concerned about this part, you still need to further inquire about the product and then place an order.
Improvements in image performance:
For thin and light costs, due to the limitations of volume, the addition of discrete graphics cards requires certain trade-offs, so the image performance has been limited by a series of limitations, and on the new generation of mobile processors launched by AMD, a series of upgrades have been made to image performance. The vega architecture originally used was upgraded to the RDNA 2 architecture, which led to a series of upgrades.
According to AMD official, the new version of the mobile processor using the RDNA 2 architecture can achieve up to twice the performance improvement compared to the previous generation, and can also use AMD's ray tracing technology, FSR- super resolution sharpening technology to achieve the authenticity and fluency of the picture effect, for the thin and light product, in the case of no discrete graphics card, the image performance is a great leap forward, and the use of RDNA 2 architecture processor products can also be a good experience for some 3A and online games with high image performance requirements, which greatly promotes the competitiveness of thin and light products, and has more choices for consumers.
△ AMD 6000 series mobile terminal processor image performance improvement
However, for the Intel platform, there is no improvement in image performance, and the image performance of the previous generation is still inferior to the previous generation of Iris Xe core, which is still inferior to amD's product image performance. However, because Intel products should have certain advantages in processor performance, in the notebook market in 2022, especially in the thin and light market, if the average user is more concerned about image performance, AMD's products will be a better choice, but if the cpu performance is more pursued, Intel products are also worth considering.
To summarize:
In the case of the promotion of new technologies and the improvement of user demand, the notebook market in 2022 may be further improved, bringing more choices and new experiences to users. At this stage, the PC industry, which is known as the "sunset industry", we also expect more manufacturers to pay more attention to the user experience and continue to launch innovative products.
