Ryzen 7000 Raphael H processors – up to 16 Zen 4 cores in notebooks

It looks like AMD will revolutionize the next generation of laptops with Ryzen 7000 Raphael H processors. These chips use Zen 4 cores and are expected to create a high-end platform in late 2022 and early 2023.

According to rumors from NNNiceMing And Greymon55 It has been reported that the Red Line-up team will divide its mobile processors into two categories with Zen 4 architecture. Currently, the Ryzen 6000 Rembrandt series, likely to be available in early 2022, uses the possible Zen 3 Plus architecture and integrated RDNA 2 graphics, while the next-generation lineup will be equipped with the Zen 4 architecture.

The new rumor, however, suggests that AMD is using Zen 4 cores not only in the Phoenix APU series, which target low-end, high-end mobile platforms, but also in the super-powerful category called Raphael H. The Raphael codename actually refers specifically to the company’s AM5 desktop platform. The new revelation, however, says that the H-code will also appear on high-end laptops.

Although not much information is available, we know that just like Rembrandt and Phoenix, Raphael H chips use integrated graphics, although they may have fewer computing units and offer higher frequencies than standard APUs. Raphael H processors apparently accommodate up to 16 Zen 4 cores, so that AMD laptop products will eventually be at least on par with desktop models, at least in terms of cores. The current line-up is limited to eight 16-thread cores on mobile, and Phoenix will likely repeat the same trend to make sense of a Raphael H series with more cores.

AMD’s mobile platforms, of course, will face stiff competition from Intel, which currently plans to offer 14-core Alder Lake P line-up processors. As Raphael is scheduled for 2022 to 2023, we may see it competing with Raptor Lake H processors, which use more optimal cores. Previous revelations have shown that Raphael processors use 35 to 65 watts of thermal power for the notebook platform. The new platform actually consists of up to 16 32-core cores and 32MB of Level 3 cache, while also supporting new standards such as DDR5.
