An AMD processor has been noticed in a leak, and it appears to be like like this chip helps DDR5 RAM, so these after Workforce Crimson silicon which runs with cutting-edge system reminiscence can begin to get (just a bit) excited.
This one was flagged up by Benchleaks on Twitter (a bot that posts benchmarks for unknown {hardware}), and it’s recognized as an engineering pattern of an AMD CPU.
AMD Eng Pattern: 100-000000560-40_Y (8C 16T)https://t.co/GVvZ6l2RlVDecember 13, 2021

As you’ll be able to see, the chip has 8-cores (16-threads), and because the particulars of the linked BAPCo CrossMark benchmark present, the Asus system that the processor was in had two sticks of 8GB system RAM operating at 4800MHz.
Whereas the small print say desktop, this might be a desktop or cellular CPU, and truly extra seemingly the latter – presumably an Asus Vivobook M3402RA, as Tom’s {Hardware}, which noticed this, observes.
Regardless of the case, given the reminiscence pace, it’s prone to be DDR5 modules (or LPDDR5 if cellular), as present Zen 3 chips don’t assist going as quick as 4800MHz.
So, the almost definitely candidates listed here are that the chip is both an early Zen 4 desktop CPU, or a ‘Rembrandt’ cellular APU (primarily based on a purported Zen 3 refresh), the latter seeming essentially the most possible. That’s, nevertheless, simply educated guesswork actually, and clearly take all this with a excessive diploma of warning.
The precise outcomes of the benchmark aren’t all that good, however that doesn’t imply a lot provided that this can be a pre-release pattern of the silicon.
Evaluation: AMD might use a response to Alder Lake cellular
Ryzen 6000 ‘Rembrandt’ collection chips are considered launching early in 2022, and might be revealed at CES 2022; that’s actually a chance, although they might not truly be obtainable till later.
Rembrandt APUs are anticipated to pack built-in RDNA 2 graphics, and that might be a critical attraction. AMD will want one thing in its armory to fight what Intel has coming, for positive, and that’s Alder Lake cellular chips early subsequent yr, which is able to actually really feel the advantages of that hybrid structure and effectivity cores.
Bear in mind, Intel already has the lion’s share of the laptop computer market as it’s, and AMD can’t afford to lose floor in that sphere (even when Ryzen is doing method higher on the desktop). That stated, it’s unclear if Rembrandt APUs will probably be sufficient to maintain tempo with Intel’s Twelfth-gen cellular merchandise.
If Rembrandt turns up early in 2022, it might be alongside the rumored Radeon RX 6000S cellular GPUs, which is perhaps led by the RX 6800S. At CES, we’re additionally hoping Nvidia might unleash an RTX 3070 Ti cellular graphics card, and possibly different laptop computer fashions. So there may simply be numerous tempting new choices for gaming notebooks within the pipeline very quickly.
