The AMD Rembrandt will be the family of processors that will accompany the company in 2022, based on an improved Zen 3, with a 6nm node and support for DDR5-5200. A new part of AMD’s roadmap that was leaked a few months ago was released last night thanks to MebiuW, which revealed more information about the next generation of Ryzen CPUs.
First of all, it is important to clarify a few things: Rembrandt is a code name for the next generation APUs that will be part of the desktop and mobile series. It will be the successor of Cezanne, a series that will replace the current generation, Renoir. Nevertheless, we are talking about an architecture that we will not see on the markets until 2022.
There is also speculation that AMD will reposition both Vermeer and Cezanne under the Ryzen 5000 series. Therefore, the Rembrandt would be launched as the 6000G and 6000H series, as the architecture is expected to be in the 45-65W range.
The new AMD Rembrandt information
According to the new details, the next generation Rembrandt Ryzen APUs will be based on the Zen 3 and RDNA 2 GPU cores. In addition, the new part of the filtered roadmap mentions that the chips will be based on a 6nm node. It is expected that AMD will retain TSMC as the manufacturer of Rembrandt CPUs, so we will probably see the higher performance with improved power consumption.
Patrick Schur also shared more information about Rembrandt and mentioned that Rembrandt will support DDR5-5200 memory and up to 20 PCIe 4.0 lines. This would also be the first series of AMD-APU processors for a new socket, allegedly called AM5. The socket transition will provide support for the next generation of DDR5 memory.
