In the meantime, new lines Gold and Silver of AMD Athlon 3000 They will have two variants: AMD Athlon Gold 3150U and AMD Athlon Silver 3050U.
AMD Athlon Gold 3150U
Processing internally there will be two cores, which will have SMT technology activated This will make it available to its users up to 4 threads of process. Its base frequency is 2.4 GHz, and has a frequency that allows it to reach 3.3 GHz.
But those short-term memories, L1 is 384 KB, L2 is 1 MB and L3 is 4 MB. Configuration of RAM memory The new model you can use is the DDR4-2400, which has two configuration channels. The GPU you set up a Radeon Vega 3. Maximum frequency of 1 GHz.
These new procedures will be replaced with old ones 14 nm area (we think it's GlobalFoundries) and we'll have a TDP of 15 W.
AMD Athlon Silver 3050U
This new model is less powerful than before. Only two cores internally, but lacks SMT technology. Therefore, the total number of threads available will be only two. Its base frequency is 2.3 GHz, with an amplifier that allows it to reach 3.2 GHz. Its cache memory is similar to that of the previous model, as is the type of RAM they can use with their TDP.
Where they differ greatly is in the GPU they use. The Athlon Silver 3050U model uses a composite drawing Radeon Vega with only 2 CU. And its operating frequency is 1,100 MHz.
Overall, it's clear what AMD wants to do with these new categories of processors. Put more on the break to Intel In particular, if the one shown in the following picture is real numbers.
By looking at the type of market in which these types of processors are aimed low consumption, these new AMD Athlon Gold and Silver models can easily streamline Intel models. Models for laptop manufacturers are having a hard time being able to mount on their computers. Considering the supply constraints of the 14 nm blue giant, they appear to disappear in the short term.
It is, of course, a great opportunity for AMD, to continue to grow its market share in part of writing. The only increase has been since AMD introduced its Ryzen APU with laptops, a few years ago. And that, in everything, will be further enhanced by the arrival of the APU AMD Ryzen 4000, introduced by the manufacturer this past season CES 2020.
