AMD APU I think many small partners are not strangers, this is the AMD definition of the CPU and GPU core through technical means to do on the same chip, collaborative computing, mutual acceleration, in technology and Intel simply package the GPU in the CPU compared to the essential difference.
Therefore, the nuclear display performance AMD has maintained an absolute advantage, in the past Intel nuclear display performance is very crotch, can only be used as a "bright machine", it can be said that it has been squeezed for many years of toothpaste.
Under the pressure of AMD, there is today's Sharp Torch Xe nuclear display, which is a huge improvement compared with before, but there is still a certain gap compared with AMD.
Intel CPU in addition to the Xeon series and the end of the letter "F" with a non-core display, the other basically with a nuclear display, equivalent to a white send, we naturally can not have too high requirements for performance.
Starting with Ryzen, most of AMD's desktop CPUs do not have a kernel display, and only a few have a kernel display with the letter "G" at the end, which is the opposite of Intel.
Of course, the mobile CPU basically has a core display.
Recently, foreign media exposed AMD's new generation of APU codenamed "Phoenix", and the nuclear display performance will be greatly improved.
The Phoenix APU will be built using the next-generation Zen4 architecture, 5 nm process, and the specific SPECIFICATIONs of the CPU are not yet clear.
The GPU aspect will be based on the 6 nm process RDNA2 architecture, and the possibility of a new 5nm RDNA3 architecture is not excluded.
The number of compute units has increased significantly, and it is rumored that it will be equipped with 16-24 compute units, that is, 1024-1536 stream processors.
Be aware that the RX6500XT has only 1024 stream processors!
What level of performance can the new generation of Phoenix APU graphics achieve?
We may wish to refer to the mobile Ryzen™ 6000H/U series OF CPUs released at the beginning of the year, integrating RDNA2 architecture GPUs, up to 12 computing units, 768 stream processors, and a radeon 680M with a frequency of 2.4GHz.
Its performance is already very impressive, and the 3DMARK running score is at the same level as the mobile GTX1050TI MAXQ.
With the ability to run games smoothly with 1080P resolution and low-quality presets, AAA masterpieces such as Tomb Raider and Borderlands can also run at over 60 frames, far exceeding the solo MX 450.
The previous generation of nuclear display can have such performance, bold prediction, the new generation of Phoenix APU with high-frequency dual-channel DDR5 memory, the core display performance beyond gtX1650, hanging their own RX6500 XT is not possible.
It's unclear when the Phoenix APU will be released, but it's likely that after the release of the Zen4 architecture Ryzen™ 7000, we're expected to meet as soon as next spring.
Let's fast-forward to the era of AMD APU hanging a lot of uniqueness.
AMD APU can be said to be designed for thin and light desktops and low-budget desktops, in the notebook to take into account the CPU and GPU performance, while low power consumption and small heat, eliminating the heat and power consumption caused by additional discrete graphics cards, can do more thin and light battery life and longer lasting.
For desktop users with low budgets and no high graphics performance requirements, AMD APUs are also the preferred solution, which can be used for daily office entertainment, mainstream online games and light AAA games.
APU power consumption is not high, the use of low-end motherboard and original heatsink can be, the power requirements are also very low, if you do not consider the later installation of a discrete graphics card, 300W power supply is enough, so the cost of the whole machine can be very low.
Just pay attention to the best use of high-frequency dual-channel memory to maximize the power of the core display.
The new generation of APUs is a better choice for the average player, let's wait and see!
