But only server ones Despite the fact that there is still quite a bit of information on the Internet about the AMD Zen 5 architecture and products based on it, today we have received quite detailed data about CPUs based on Zen 6. [caption id="attachment_85418" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The information concerns mainly server CPUs, but it is still important, because some things can be implemented in consumer ones. [caption id="attachment_85419" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The author of the Moore's Law Is Dead channel obtained data on Epyc-E server processors, which are intended for telecommunications and peripheral systems. Such CPUs will only have up to 64 cores, but the “larger” Epyc will, of course, have more cores. AMD will pack 32 processor cores into one chiplet. [caption id="attachment_85420" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] In this case, what interests us most is that Epyc-E will have one chiplet with 32 cores! Let us remember that in almost all AMD processors the chiplet contains eight cores, and only Epyc Bergamo with small Zen 4C cores has chiplets with 16 cores. As you can see, by the time Zen 6 is released, AMD will be able to pack 32 cores per chiplet. This obviously won’t affect consumer Ryzen, but perhaps by that time they will switch to a package of 16 cores per chiplet. Additionally, the 32-chip configuration could allow AMD to easily build 256-core processors. This could already be CPU Venice in SP7 version. https://youtu.be/qpzTmKjaIMU Also, a large number of cores in one chiplet allows AMD to place additional chiplets in the processor without any processor cores at all. FPGAs or other specialized chiplets can be implemented in this way.

True, only server ones Samsung, it seems, can finally compete more seriously with TSMC in the semiconductor market. It is reported that the Korean giant will even receive orders for AMD processors. [caption id="attachment_82935" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD processors[/caption] More precisely, Samsung will allegedly produce Prometheus server processors based on Zen 5c cores. True, only low-end models, while the top ones will still be produced by TSMC, and using a 3 nm process technology, that is, apparently, they will be much more energy efficient. New AMD processors will be produced by Samsung Samsung's achievement is that it was able to achieve a die yield rate of 70%, which matches TSMC's figure, which means that there can be more production and it can be cheaper. For AMD, this is an opportunity to diversify risks, which is important given how heavily TSMC’s capacity has been loaded lately. This is also important from the point of view that the current year has shown how critical AI will be for the market in the near future, and this in turn creates a huge demand for corresponding accelerators. And it may turn out that manufacturers will opt to produce more of the corresponding chips, sacrificing consumer CPUs and/or GPUs. In this scenario, an additional manufacturer with a modern technological process will definitely not be superfluous.

But will this model truly become widespread? Today AMD officially unveiled the Radeon RX 7900M mobile 3D accelerator. The first laptop with it will be the Dell Alienware m18 R1, and this device will also have a super-powerful processor - AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D. [caption id="attachment_71963" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The AMD Radeon RX 7900M sets a new standard for mobile gaming accelerator consumption: the TGP value is up to 180 W, but the Dell website indicates a different maximum of 200 W (using SmartShift Max technology). For comparison: the flagship models of the GeForce RTX 40 line consume up to 175 W. [caption id="attachment_71964" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] [caption id="attachment_71966" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] AMD presented its coolest mobile accelerator - Radeon RX 7900M Radeon RX 7900M is built on a Navi 31 GPU with 4608 stream processors. GDDR6 memory capacity is 16 GB, frequency is 18 GHz, and memory bus width is 256 bits. The maximum GPU frequency exceeds 2 GHz. [caption id="attachment_71968" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] According to official AMD data, the Radeon RX 7900M is on average 7% faster than the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop in games at 1440p resolution. In general, the video card turned out to be powerful, but laptops with it won’t be cheap: according to AMD, the price of a finished device with a Radeon RX 7900M starts at $2,800. And this, of course, is in the USA - in Europe such laptops will be more expensive.

With Arc 5 graphics Emdoor has revealed the first portable gaming console based on the yet-to-be-presented Intel Meteor Lake processor. [caption id="attachment_71733" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The EM-GP080MTL model is based on the Meteor Lake-H CPU with a TDP of 20-35 W. The specific model is not specified, but it is indicated that the iGPU is called Arc Graphics 5. Whether this solution is the most powerful is also unclear. Will Intel be able to beat AMD? The console also received an eight-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels and 32 GB of RAM. Considering that high-performance mobile Intel processors have never been cheap, it is unlikely that such a console will be at the same price as Asus ROG Ally. At the demonstration, one could see how the God of War game was launched on the console, but it is unclear at what frame rate and in what settings it all worked. Let us remember that there were earlier rumors that the top Meteor Lake will receive an iGPU, which will easily surpass the Radeon 780M in performance and will be close to the 35-watt RTX 3050 Laptop, that is, this will be a new level for integrated graphics processors.

Available in driver AMD has added a new metric to its latest driver called System Lag. [caption id="attachment_64705" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] System Lag is designed to display the delay between the generation of frames by the engine of a particular game and their further rendering by the video card. So far, the metric only works with adapters that support Anti-Lag+, which means that we are talking about video cards and iGPUs based on RDNA 3. That is, these are primarily Radeon RX 7000 adapters. So that gamers can better evaluate latency. AMD introduced the System Lag metric System Lag is the measured delay between the moment a game generates a frame and the GPU finishing rendering. This does not include factors such as display latency, which can be further increased by features such as advanced sync. Additionally, system latency does not take into account the additional latency in generating frames from AMD Fluid Motion Frames. You can use the frame generation latency metric to show this. System latency is only available when Radeon Anti-Lag+ is enabled. For Anti-Lag+ games that support both DirtectX11 and 12, system lag is only available in DirectX 12. With the new metric, AMD wants to let gamers understand how useful the Anti-Lag+ technology that was introduced with FSR 3 is. Let us remind you that Anti-Lag+ is an improved version of Anti-Lag and is designed to synchronize frames to reduce latency. Besides the fact that Anti-Lag+ only works with the latest video cards, it is only available in certain games.
