AMD's Phoenix 3 and Phoenix 4 APUs have actually been found, possibly mentioning a growth of the Ryzen APU household in the future.
AMD Has Phoenix 3 & Phoenix 4 In The Pipeline, Could We See More APUs Soon?
In the present plan of things, AMD has actually figured out its Phoenix lineup of APUs into 2 households, the Phoenix 1 and the Phoenix 2. In regards to the total spec, the Phoenix 1 is totally based upon the Zen 4 core and includes a greater quantity of RDNA3 CUs (as much as 12) compared to the latter one. The Phoenix 2 on the other hand, is reasonably on the lower-end side, with a mix of Zen 4 and Zen 4c cores along with lower RDNA 3 CUs. This is due to the fact that the advantages of Zen 4C hybrid setups actually shine in the entry-level sector however that will alter in the future.
The brand-new entrants at the PCI ID Repository expose the addition of AMD Phoenix 3 and Phoenix 4 APUs, noted under the PCI IDs "1900" and "1901" respectively. This is the very first time the calling convention has actually appeared in a real database. Since today, the requirements and information concerning the recently appeared APUs are unidentified, however the gadget IDs do recommend that the APUs will be somewhat improved versus the existing chips.
The very first possibility is that Phoenix 3 and Phoenix 4 are followers to the Phoenix 1 and Phoenix 2 chips and will be serving the Hawk Point "Ryzen 8040" APU household. The Hawk Point household was going to include an updated RDNA 3.5 GPU architecture and there are likewise reports that Phoenix 4 had actually been cancelled a while back.
That's amusing, PHX4 was cancelled a very long time back. Perhaps it has actually been "born-again" now-- Kepler (@Kepler_L2) November 13, 2023
Since it is still rather early now, you can't be sure about what to anticipate with Phoenix 3/4 APUs, nevertheless, it is specific that AMD will use a comparable method to what it finished with the Phoenix 1/2 APUs, considered that Team Red focuses on targeting a number of customers sectors in the market. We anticipate more advancements relating to the brand-new Phoenix APUs quickly so remain tuned.
