Recently, the 3DMark tool showed clear signs of an AMD Ryzen 9 4900U processor, and next to it, another very strange processor, the 8-core Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition processor with 16 threads.
AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition was discovered in the 3DMark tool
AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition was discovered in 3DMark by the well-known user TUM_APISAK, who mentions that the chip is based on “Renoir” and probably a model for laptops since the nominal clock rate is rather low at 1.80 GHz and can rise to 4.30 GHz. The chip has all 8 cores and 16 threads activated. The proposed clock rate makes the laptop processor theory very strong.
Ryzen 7 Extreme Output
AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition seems to be about 100 MHz higher than the Ryzen 7 4800U, a 15W TDP model with a maximum gain of 4.20 GHz. The 45W Ryzen 7 4800H has the same clock with a gain of 4.20GHz, but with a much higher nominal frequency of 2.90GHz. It is, therefore, logical to consider it as part of the 15W segment above the 4800U, which is aimed at netbooks. Interestingly, a 15W Renoir with these clock rates was recently reported as “Ryzen 9 4900U”.
We’ll see what comes of it, but all the signs are that AMD is preparing new processors for laptops to offer a wide range of low-cost “gaming” and ultra-portable laptops.
