The Zen 4-based Ryzen 7040 processors had been introduced at CES 2023 in January. Things have been quiet within the months since then, however that ought to change quickly. According to new studies, AMD is gearing as much as launch its new era Ryzen APUs inside the subsequent few weeks.
According to a leaker on Bilibili (through Wccftech), the brand new rumoured launch date for the Ryzen 7040HS (35-54W base TDP) is April thirtieth (which appears bizarre contemplating it is a Sunday). That would imply a four-month delay earlier than Phoenix hits the market, whereas Intel Raptor Lake laptops have already been obtainable for 2 months.
According to the identical leaker, the Ryzen 7 7840U (15W TDP) is coming quickly after the Ryzen 7040HS chips, on May 1st. It’s unclear if the opposite two Ryzen 7040U chips will launch concurrently the 7840U. Unfortunately, the leaker did not point out something in regards to the 7040H sequence.
Despite a number of leaks that includes the low-power Phoenix sequence, AMD has not formally confirmed the Ryzen 7040U SKU lineup. The firm did point out that 15W Zen 4 processors are coming however has been reluctant to share the specs. So far, we have discovered there will likely be 9 Phoenix SKUs beneath the H, HS, and U sequence with completely different TDP, clock frequencies and GPU specs (all based mostly on RDNA3). On the opposite hand, the core depend should not differ, with the Ryzen 5 chips coming with a 6C/12T configuration and the Ryzen 7 and 9 chips with an 8C/16T configuration.
KitGuru says: The launch date claimed right here appears iffy so take this data with a grain of salt. At any charge, in case you are out there for a brand new laptop computer, it may be value holding off for a number of weeks as new AMD-powered fashions ought to develop into obtainable earlier than the second half of the 12 months.
