[CES 2020] AMD introduces the first 7nm chip series for laptops, Ryzen 7 4000 Series

Not giving rivals Intel time to breathe, AMD is constantly launching new products that attack almost every playground where Intel is present. After launching 7nm process based on desktop and server CPUs, during the CES 2020 event, AMD continued to invade another Intel playing field, laptop processors with Ryzen series. 4000 Mobile.

According to AMD CEO Lisa Su, Ryzen 4000 is the world’s first 7nm processor designed for mobile devices, such as laptops. For Intel, even if laptop processors are prioritized for using the new process, they are still stuck at 10nm and 12nm.

Not only surpassing competitors in technological progress, Ryzen 4000 also surpassed Intel’s latest Ice Lake chips in performance. Specifically, the ability to handle single-core is improved by more than 4%, but far ahead of the competition in multi-core performance by 90% and up to 28% in graphics performance. These figures are based on a comparison of Ryzen 7 4800U and Core i7-1065G7, which is using Intel’s 10nm process.

Thanks to the transition to 7nm process, the new Ryzen 7 4800U processor is twice as energy efficient as its predecessor Ryzen chips (which use the 12nm process). This means the laptop will last longer.

The third-generation Ryzen 4000 series will be divided into 3 lines, the U series (for ultrathin ultrathin laptops), the H series (for gamers and content creators), and the Pro series (towards devices with ultrathin for business people).

One of the first devices to use AMD’s new laptop chip is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. AMD promises more than a dozen devices from many other manufacturers will launch in Q1 and more than 100 new devices will be available. launched later this year.

In addition to the new Ryzen mobile processor, AMD also revealed its new graphics products. The new Radeon RX5600XT 7nm VGA – with performance expected to beat Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti – will go on sale on January 21 for $ 279. Separate VGA versions for laptops will also be available in the future.

Meanwhile, AMD claims the new graphics chips in Ryzen 7 4800H are faster than their desktop counterparts. This new chip will appear in Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop – a gaming laptop but has an elegant design, with a thickness of 18mm and weighs about 1.6 kg. Zephyrus G14 will start shipping from February.

In contrast to AMD, Intel’s appearance at CES 2020 was less popular when they just introduced a discrete GPU called DG1. However, there are not many specifications shared by Intel at the event.
