Because the laptop aimed at gamers are on the rise, AMD wishes to assert its presence.
The publication of AMD’s latest roadmap is an opportunity for a little surprise. Oh, not a revolution, no, but the confirmation of an increasingly strong trend among Intel’s competitor.
” The pinnacle of gaming performance »
For several years now, AMD has been seeking to offer CPUs equipped with ever more efficient graphics solutions. It has Ryzen G quite capable on “small” games, and it is also the one that equips Microsoft and Sony consoles as well as the Steam Deck.
However, things do not seem to go far enough for AMD, which today unveils the upcoming arrival of a new CPU called Dragon Range. AMD is not going overboard to present its foal: it is aiming ” the pinnacle of gaming performance “. Just that.
To achieve this, AMD explains that it will rely on the architecture of its next Ryzen 7000 CPUs and bluntly mentions ” the highest core, thread and cache ever “.
Laptops plugged in most of the time
The new range of Dragon Range CPUs should lead to portable computers – there is no question of desktop machines – the most powerful ever designed for video games. There is also no question of limiting the TDP of these CPUs too much, displayed at 55+ W.
AMD’s technical marketing manager, Robert Hallock, believes that this TDP should bring enough power to machines that ” are plugged in [sur le secteur] most of the time “. The question of autonomy does not therefore seem to be a primary concern.
Dragon Range is intended for portable PCs whose thickness must be at least 20 millimeters, and the CPUs will logically be equipped with the Zen 4 microarchitecture. hold no real window.
Moreover, Robert Hallock did not give any real details on a crucial aspect of such a chip: the graphics issue. We will no doubt have the opportunity to come back to this point in the coming months.
