Probably the most purposeful and intriguing question is exactly why AMD is dropping Ryzen 9 for the desktop market, but if we think about it, it will be competing for itself on a higher CPU list, reducing sales to processors that may be more efficient
By the way, it would slow down sales of new GPUs RX 5500 XT and as a result, it would not be a good move. In addition, once the visuals and filters are completed, they can replace Navi with Vega (something that is highly controversial in their own right), where it should pass Intel with no problem and minimal desktop power.
Up to 14 models of Renoir image processing in total
AMD has not put any effort into the new design of its APUs, at least for its drivers who show up, as we have up to 14 levels in total (not including PR types), which are included as follows:
- On the APU for laptops and mobile devices you are editing 8 SKU 15 Watts, 4 are used and 4 are systematic sites containing PRO types.
- APUs for high performance laptops will install 6 SKU for 45 watts, 3 APU for use and three other versions trained with program PRO.
- A low-power desktop version will be provided 6 SKU of 35 watts on 3 operating models and 3 Pro with no B12 chips.
- Finally, desktop APUs with 65 watts they will have 3 other types of buyers and 3 more within the PRO range, where they will not be offered B12 chips have Ryzen 9.
The biggest problem is understanding what each chip represents. So far, AMD has named SKUs with a letter "B" followed by a number, where that number was less than the number of CUs the IGPUs would have.
That is, Picasso's B10 chips represent the Vega 10 and Vega 11 models, the B8 chips the Vega 8 and the new Vega 9 and so on. So it also follows that the scheme will now have chips B12, B10, B8, B6 and B4
B12 chips will be a favorite of game players
These B12 chips are a powerful market power, but as we mentioned above and as explained in the document, they will not come to the desktop market, but to the laptop market where new Intel GPUs cause Problems on Picasso APUs, since they are usually weaker options compared to Processor blue processors.
Although nothing has been noted or mature in reference to the number of cores and the frequency of these new Renoir APUs, rumors that this Ryzen 9 will arrive 8 cores and 16 threads and that the overall architecture will support higher speed on RAM, something that is very beneficial for AMD architecture depending on its iGPU.
Thus, performance ratings put Renoir as an option that will launch Intel back into the low-end wallpapers segment. We'll see if they are finally introduced at CES 2020 in style and what stories they bring.
