AMD Ryzen 7000 “Phoenix” and “Dragon Range” are two APUs for the notebook segment that are going to feature RDNA 3 integrated graphics. Both processor series are already coming to Linux drivers.
AMD Ryzen 7000 Phoenix and Dragon Range are added to Linux and are due in 2023
AMD has released a patch for its Linux driver that adds support for the RDNA 3 graphics APU Phoenix 45W (gfx1103) series. This was added to GC 11.0.1 and GC 11.0.4. The patch also adds SMU IP v13.0.11 and PSP IP v13.0.11 to the driver.
The System Management Unit handles SoC functions, including power states, boost behavior, or firmware. The platform security chip manages the boot, initializes security processes, and monitors for system failures.
This seems to be a hint of a near future release of the APU Ryzen “Phoenix” and “Dragon Range”, with the first laptops potentially launching in early 2023. This series for mid-range and high-end notebooks, with TDPs of 45W and 55W+, will be combined with DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory.
The ”Dragon Range” APUs are expected to offer laptops with up to 16 cores and 32 threads, in addition to the Zen 4 architecture cores, which will increase performance exponentially over current Ryzen 5000 laptops.
