![]() A Cezanne Refresh may complement Rembrandt-H in 2022, but that is still unclear for now. Basically, part of that rise in performance is down to the extra clock speed AMD has squeezed out of the optimised TSMC 5nm process, as well as raw instructions per clock (IPC) increases born of. Rembrandt is also speculated to launch with support for Computer Vision Machine Learning (CVML) for better onboard AI capabilities. Rembrandt-H is essentially a Zen 3 refresh but made on a 6 nm process bringing support for DDR5/LPDDR5 RAM at 45 W. Rembrandt-H APUs slated to launch in Q1 2022 will mark a shift to RDNA2 iGPUs and may top-out as 8C/16T parts. From what we know so far, Cezanne will stick to using Vega GCN cores for graphics. While Cezannne is a Zen 3 part, Lucienne is a Renoir Refresh with SMT enabled. We already know that AMD will be announcing H-series Cezanne and Lucienne APUs at CES next year. It could be that Intel is looking to increase the TDP ratings by about 10 W with Alder Lake to possibly accommodate the hybrid core architecture while also giving OEMs more turning leeway to enable thin and light designs. In Q2 2022, Alder Lake will have a 45 W SKU as the lower power variant with 6+8 20 threads and a 96-EU Xe Gen12. ![]() Interestingly, Tiger Lake-H will also have a 35 W variant that may launch sooner than the 45 W part with possible support for LPDDR5 RAM. A year later, in Q2 2022, Alder Lake-H 55 W with 32 EUs of Xe Gen12, up to 8+8 24 threads, and support for PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 is expected. On the laptop side of things, Tiger Lake-H 45 W will debut for high-end gaming and content creator laptops in Q2 2021. Raphael is slated to bring support for DDR5 and will also probably be the first AMD mainstream desktop CPU to include on-die integrated graphics (with Athlon 64 and Phenom CPUs, select motherboards offered an iGPU chip), which is likely to be an RDNA2 part. Q3 2022 is when things start to get interesting with AMD Raphael, which would be a Zen 4 part based on a 5 nm process. It is not yet clear how different Warhol will be from Vermeer, but one can expect minor changes similar to what we saw going from the Ryzen 9 3900X to the Ryzen 9 3900XT. It does make business sense as reusing existing CPU families with a slight clock boost can make them attractive for price-conscious customers.įollowing this, in Q4, we will get to see Alder Lake for mainstream desktop based on the 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin architecture featuring a mix of Golden Cove and Gracemont cores along with Xe Gen12 graphics up to possibly 32 execution units (EUs).ĪMD's Zen 3 Vermeer will continue to be the staple offering will Q3 2021 followed by a Zen 3 refresh codenamed Warhol between Q4 2021 and Q2 2022. The Comet Lake-Refresh will only be for the entry-level Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron SKUs with Intel looking to further make use of the 14nm++ parts under the same 11th gen umbrella as Rocket Lake. ![]() While we already know that Intel will be launching Rocket Lake-S in Q1 2021 followed by Alder Lake in Q4, it looks like we might get to see a Comet Lake-Refresh as well.
