Taking the stage at the Taipei International Information Technology Fair (COMPUTEX) held in Taiwan, AMD is the next generation that will power laptops. Mendocino APU solution introduced. While the Ryzen 6000 ‘Rembrandt’ APUs introduced in January appeal to premium laptops; Mendocino, on the other hand, is designed to be used mostly on devices under the $1000 band.
AMD Mendocino APU specifications
Mendocino APU from AMD Zen 2 microarchitecture Besides the with advanced RDNA 2 graphics core architecture it comes together. As it will be remembered, the Zen 3+ core architecture was included in the Ryzen 6000 series “Rembrandt” APUs.
AMD Ryzen 7000 introduced: Here are the specs!
AMD announced that with its new Ryzen 7000 processor, it is 31 percent faster than Intel’s top processors.
Mendocino consists of four Zen 2 cores with eight threads. AMD didn’t mention other features of the APU, but in terms of processing powerIt is expected to be similar to the Ryzen 4000 (Renoir) chips using Zen 2 cores.
One of the biggest differences: While Renoir goes through the 7nm fabrication process, Mendocinu was produced by TSMC with 6nm. and that means we will see higher clock speeds on the new APU.
AMD Mendocino APU uses LPDDR5 memory technology. It has not been announced whether the bus will be dual-channel (64-bit) or quad-channel (128-bit).
One of the Mendocino’s strengths is its battery life. AMD, depending on usage minimum of 10 hours It states that it will offer battery life. We encountered better times on other Ryzen processors. But the Mendocino will power laptops that cost between $399 and $699, and 10 hours is pretty reasonable for this price range.
According to the statement, Mendocino will be released in the fourth quarter of this year. One of the first laptops to be used is planned to be Lenovo’s upcoming Ideapad 1 model.
