Next year, AMD will introduce a total of three series of APU processors to laptops – Van Gogh (Athlon processors) with Zen 2 cores and an integrated graphics chip based on RDNA architecture, Lucienne being a refreshed version of Renoir (Zen 2 / Vega) and Cezanne. The last of the mentioned groups will use the new Zen 3 cores, but will also still be based on Vega graphics chips. From the information that appeared a few weeks ago, we know that in the case of low-voltage processors, four units will appear: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 U, Ryzen 5 5600 U, Ryzen 5 5700 U and Ryzen 5 U .

Information on the AMD Ryzen 5 processor 5600 U for laptops has appeared on the network. It will use the improved Zen 3 cores.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 U is to be a 6-core processor and 12 – threaded, similar to Ryzen 5 4600 U. It will be based on Zen 3 cores and integrated Radeon Graphics with 7 Compute Units. This means that we will get 1 CU more compared to the current Ryzen 5 processors from the Renoir family. The iGPU clock speed will also be higher, amounting to 1800 MHz. For comparison, the current Vega 6 chips with Ryzen 5 4600 U / 4600 H have a clock 1500 MHz, while Vega 7 with Ryzen 7 4700 U / Ryzen 7 4800 H clock 1600 MHz.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 U will also have a higher clock speed despite the unchanged TDP at 15 In (configurable from 1600 to 25. The base clock of the processor is to be 2.3 GHz, while in Boost mode it will reach 4.2 GHz. For comparison, the AMD Ryzen 5 processor 4600 U clocked at 2.1 GHz and 4.0 GHz, respectively. Therefore, the clock speed will be 200 MHz higher compared to its predecessor. Premiere of APU AMD Cezanne and Luc
