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.

This is a leak and should not be taken so seriously.
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.
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.
Waiting a month or two wont hurt IF you can hold out, taking to wallets across the world here. :p:pimp::respect:
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
