Ryzen 3700U w/ Vega 10 spotted

[Nicnac]

Ya boi is back wit sum AMD news

 

Fresh from the salt pit that is WCCFTech

Here's the original tweet they mention by someone called APISAK

The actual Entry in Userbenchmark

 

And as you probably could tell already it's a notebook chip.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700U is a quad-core chip with eight threads and currently clocks in at 2.2 GHz base and 3.8 GHz boost clocks. The chip comes with 4 MB of L3 and 2 MB of L2 cache. The chip has the ZM370SC4T4MFG_38/22_Y codename which spills out a lot of the details we just mentioned. In terms of graphics, the chip will feature the Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics which means we get 640 stream processors in total. Based on the specifications, we are looking at a 15W design and what’s interesting is that it looks nearly identical to the already released Ryzen 7 2700U.

 

Is it Picasso yet?

ugh, no...

 looks like to be a rebrand

Desktop 3000 series is definitely gonna be Zen 2 though so we will just have to wait a little more before we can get excited.

yea, despite being 3000 series this is 12nm zen+ with vega, which is cool and all but kinda meh, that 3000 tag promises so much more thats its kinda dissapointing

R7 2700U w/ Vega 10 laptops are already pretty good for the price considering in my opinion the target user base, if the prices for these can be really good it may be something I consider to look into. Lightweight laptop with fairly good keyboard is what a lot of Uni kids are looking for and Vega 10 has just enough juice to run some games for what time someone may have in between classes. Curious see what price manufacturers can get around for future releases.

exactly what I am thinking. these laptops can be had for around 800$ and offer excellent price/performance. its light enough to carry to uni/ school every day and has more than enough power to run LAN games or esports titles casually in between. Especially games that are old now but are still enjoyed by many people like I still play Age of Empires and Battle for Middle Earth with my friends at uni.

Why not call it Ryzen R7 2750U? Or anything starting with a 2, this seems dumb. AMD you have 4 digits to use, how are you running out and resorting to numbering things as another generation when it's not.

Marketing probably though someone is gonna call it "twentyseven-fifty" and that sounds so much worse and less powerful than "THREETHAUSANDSEVENHUNDRED!!!"

The APUs run a generation behind. They'll bring this out in Q1 2019 and it'll be the start of the 3000 generation.

[Doobeedoo]

Yeah APUs are not on same gen along CPUs and naming can seem odd. But still nice though. Can't wait to see what they do with 7nm though, they'll have so much extra space to work with.

i'm still confused after reading the article, what's the difference between 2700U and 3700U?, they seem exactly the same.

So I need to remind you on Intel’s HEDT naming scheme?

14nm vs 12nm, it’ll probably run a couple hundred mhz faster under load and consume a little less power at same frequencies as last gen.

All we know is that it's a respin on the 12nm libraries. That should drop power usage across all of the SKUs, which matters for a Mobile part. There might also be significant microcode improvements, like what happened with Zen+. We'll find out later.

 

The other thing to look out for is more advanced power management features, which matter in the Mobile space a lot more.

What CPU?

I assume:

Haswell: 4000, Haswell-E: 5000

Broadwell: 5000, Broadwell-E: 6000

Skylake: 6000, Skylake-X:: 7000

 

Then it breaks down a bit with the current core confusion.

Guess you haven't watched many recent GN live streams, the answer is 7980XE

Ok, that. I think I saw the 1st one when it became a meme but haven't watched recently.

OEMs to sell laptops.

Let me enjoy my smug feeling of having a 2500U dammit!

well yes and no, Ryzen 3000 Desktop was not announced yet , AMD might skip 3000 naming and name it Ryzen 4000 series for desktop 7nm, so you guys are being dissapointed for no reason, only the rumours state Zen2 7nm will be named ryzen 3000 because thats what follows 2000, dont just asume the upcoming CPU's gende... i mean naming scheme

id sooner belive it would be 5000 series since 4 is a bad number and should not be used if money are to be made in certain markets

 

and threadripper should jump straight to 25k series since double the cores double the fun, and double the double is x5 thanks to synergy
