A mysterious new processor is revealed on the Userbenchmark website, the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U. This processor is still completely unreleased and is said to be a “Mendocino” chip with Zen-2 cores and RDNA-2 graphics.
AMD Ryzen 3 7320U with Zen-2 cores and RDNA-2 graphics spotted
One of the leading websites for publishing performance results and data on unreleased processors has just published a new entry, that of the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor.
The revealed processor would have around 4 cores and use the FT6 notebook socket. The processor would not use Zen 4 or Zen 3, but would be a Zen 2 processor with integrated graphics based on RDNA 2, the same architecture as RX 7000 graphics cards. The specifications are suspiciously reminiscent of the recently announced Mendocino APU chip for notebooks. The mentioned device ID (1002-0123) does not match any known integrated GPU.
The processor was detected with a base clock rate of 2.4 GHz and a Turbo clock rate of 4.1 GHz. The clock rate seems low, but we should keep in mind that this chip is intended for power-saving laptops.
If it is indeed a “Mendocino” processor, the integrated graphics would only have 2 RDNA-2 processing units, which is not enough for complex games, but useful if you don’t need discrete graphics. The mentioned device ID (1002-0123) does not match any known integrated GPU.
AMD Mendocino should be released in the fourth quarter of this year and will likely be found in many low-end notebooks.
