AMD Rembrandt 8-Core Zen 3+ Mobile APU Spotted

The first trace of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 6000 mobile series has recently appeared with a processor of OPN code 100-000000518-41_N surfacing in the UserBenchmark database with the socket listed as FP7 which is the rumored platform for AMD's 6 nm Rembrandt family. The engineering sample features 8-cores and 16-threads with a base clock of 3.9 GHz and a boost of 4.1 GHz along with an integrated RDNA2 iGPU.

This marks the move from Vega to Navi 2 for the integrated GPU which should result in significant graphics performance and efficiency improvements. The processor was paired with a single 16 GB DDR5 memory module from Corsair running at 4800 MHz CL40, the computer is also listed as Corsair Xenomorph which is interesting as we are not aware of any plans for Corsair to release laptops. AMD is expected to announce Rembrandt at CES 2022 and the processors have allegedly already entered production.

Woohooo finally. The Vega igpu is getting so long in the tooth they are getting poached from being mistaken as elephants.

Yeah. It's been a while with the vega but still it is not bad. Curious what the RDNA2 cores will show. Maybe it will be the time to change some laptops.

Will this be the CPU / IGP you can really game on I wonder.

thevoiceofreasonCL40, that's some serious latency.
Quick, run back to DDR3 CL9! Maybe it'll be faster :D

We needed RDNA IGPs 3 years ago when Zen(1) was hobbled by Vega even then.

This is a long time coming, and very very overdue - I just hope it's actually good.

FINALLY, I was waiting for an iGPU update with the newer processor revisions!

Only on DDR5 with good speed and latency it has any meaning for AMD to use powerful iGPUs or else the memory bottleneck will make it useless. They know much better. That's why PS5 and XBox-X use GDDR5 to not bottleneck those APUs.

On Notebooks there isnt any reason to buy a APU from AMD,
while a I5 G7 1399GFLOPS or I7 G7 1600GFLOPS brings and Intel is more reliable to work with the IGP ink. Quickstream.

Next thing is Intel release open Source drivers for CPU and IGP, Amd sometimes mostly old as fuck and Nvidia dont do it.

You're ignoring GDDR has a crazy high lattency as well...


I'm really hoping they also come up with a new APU with RDNA for AM4, I want a low power gpu but since that's not happening in this market an APU migth be the solution

You're on a different planet my friend.
Every single zen3 APU laptop review shows it thumping comparable chips Intel across the board.

iGPU and GPU in general needs bandwidth much more than latency. CPU depends more on latency.

Yes, graphics require bandwidth but in a APU you need a balance both requirements. RDNA APU on DDR4 would have a bottleneck in the memory but would still be worth it over the limping old vega that they're still using.

Let's not forget that ryzen thrived and made fast memory more popular than ever (Intel didn't scale anywhere near that well) and with their new 3d cache and infinity cache solutions it would still be great to see

The Problem is if People pay to a Consumer Platform like Am4 and 1200 it is 3,4,5,6,7,800$ for a Cpu and 2 - 300$ for a Mainboard, nothing will change.

For those prices today ill get a 3647 Sys with 6x Channels, or even a Epyic Sys with 8 Channels. But no IGP thats the point,
if Consumers are not that sort of stupid monkeys we would have Quadchannel Controllers in Mainstream Platforms today but no we have since more than a decade Dualchannel.


My Smartphone have 4x 32 bit Channels for DRAM, my first one had 1x 32bit :laugh:,
wee will see more DRAM Channels in Smartphones before the mokeys realise it that they got fucked by booth intel and amd.

4x32bit and dual channel 64bit still have the same bandwidth.
Some people even paid 300-400€/$ year after year for 3770-4770-6700-7700k upgrades with only marginal parformance boost over 2600K...

Uskompufalong with an integrated RDNA2 iGPU.
Just when I've settled on a 5000 series notebook with Vega in it... :(

No clear word yet on desktop rembrandt and going by previous releases it could very well only come out in the summer around Computex. I'm hopefull we start seeing more information on it after Intel lauches Alder Lake, but desktop might only seen the Vermeer 3d cache update and no new APU :/
