AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Dragon Range and Phoenix Mobile Processor Specifications Leak

AMD is preparing to update its mobile sector with the latest IP in the form of Zen4 CPU cores and RDNA3 graphics. According to Red Gaming Tech, we have specifications of upcoming processor families. First, we have AMD Dragon Range mobile processors representing a downsized Raphael design for laptops. Carrying Zen4 CPU cores and RDNA2 integrated graphics, these processors are meant to power high-performance laptops with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. Being a direct competitor to Intel's Alder Lake-HX, these processors also carry an interesting naming convention. The available SKUs include AMD Ryzen 5 7600HX, Ryzen 7 7800HX, Ryzen 9 7900HX, and Ryzen 9 7980HX design with a massive 16-core configuration. These CPUs are envisioned to run along with more powerful dedicated graphics, with clock speeds of 4.8-5.0+ GHz.

Next, we have AMD Phoenix processors, which take Dragon Range's design to a higher level thanks to the newer graphics IP. Having Zen4 cores, Phoenix processors carry upgraded RDNA3 graphics chips to provide a performance level similar to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q SKU, all in one package. These APUs will come in four initial configurations: Ryzen 5 7600HS, Ryzen 7 7800HS, Ryzen 9 7900HS, and Ryzen 9 7980HS. While maxing out at eight cores, these APUs will compensate with additional GPU compute units with a modular chiplet design. AMD Phoenix is set to become AMD's first chiplet design launching for the laptop market, and we can expect more details as we approach the launch date.

DavenSo that makes you what exactly?
Obviously you dont read the rest of the forums.

This is a leak and should not be taken so seriously.

DavenI went through all four pages of comments at your link and could not find a comment from me.
No, but calling it an APU and while admitting it got only 2 CU is a contradiction.

Which makes sense to me. Yes, they're talking about desktop here (supposedly up to 4 compute units), but I highly doubt AMD would say differently about Dragon Range (2 CU).

Calling anything AMD x86 an APU just because it has an IGP would open up a whole can of worms when customers realize that their sixth generation -aPU- is slower in games than a five year old, first generation APU.
I mean, people were losing their shit when 5800U was Zen3 and 5700U was Zen 2.

Damn, the comment section went wild :p

I just wanted to say that IF this ends up true, for the first time ever I could see me going with laptop for next PC. 7800HS would be all I need...

Well, if, and a big IF. But enough to maybe postpone my late 2022 shopping spree for after more info is dropped.

ARFAMD needs to release something faster because it trails behind the mobile Core i9 series.

The Ryzen 9 6980HX is around 9% faster than the Ryzen 9 5980HX.
So, 23262 x1.09 would result in 25424 for the Ryzen 9 6980HX PassMark score.

The Core i9-12900HK is still some more 11% faster.


PassMark - AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX - Price performance comparison (cpubenchmark.net)


PassMark - Intel Core i9-12900HK - Price performance comparison (cpubenchmark.net)



Yeah sure using 120W vs 65W. If you keep Intel HX to the 60W range Rembrandt is as fast and in the 35-35W range it is faster. This exactly what Dragon is addressing, Intel's HX series which are really desktop CPU"s anyway. AMD got sick of seeing Intel advertise stuff with 2x the power usage against Renmbrandt.

Things like is now pretty much the norm to stir marketing hype, knowing this I have postponed long enough so the first round of motherboard bugs could be addressed.

Waiting a month or two wont hurt IF you can hold out, taking to wallets across the world here. :p:pimp::respect:

Big if true. This is a sort of dream AMD has been waiting to realize for over a decade. First the full Raphael config being able to scale down to laptops with 16 real cores. And then the big 24 CU IGP we've heard about before finally giving a discrete level experience from a Fusion APU. It's been a long time coming.

I know this. But the OEMs don't care and they sell the intel notebooks to the users.

Do you win something if you pass a certain number of posts?

So they're basically doing what Intel does, having the high power mobile sku use the same silicon as the desktop with lower power and no IHS. It will be interesting to see how this pans out since AMD doesn't have monolithic dies to this with.

If only they also figured a socketable solution so we both had a return to upgradable laptops like back in the day and could see zen4 cpus in the wild coming without ihs from the factory, one can always dream :D
