MD Ryzen Pro 5000 Series Mobile Processors

AMD continues its takeover of the notebook space.

AMD introduced its Ryzen Pro 5000 Series Mobile Processors based on the Zen 3 core architecture. The new processors are designed for premium business laptops and include AMD’s hardware-based Pro technologies for enterprise-class security features.

AMD addresses security on multiple levels for the new Ryzen Pro 5000 series.

The chips were announced with two significant design wins, one from HP and one from Lenovo. Those OEMs expect to start shipping in Q2. AMD believes the number of AMD-powered enterprise notebooks will triple by the end of 2021.

The company offers three levels of the 7-nm Ryzen: 3, 5, and 7, and a total of 9 different models with clock rates from 2600 MHz to 4400 MHz, and all within a 15-W budget. Core counts vary from 4 to 8. All of AMD’s mobile processors are APUs, and the GPUs within these processors range from 6 to 8 cores with a frequency range from 1500 MHz to 2000 MHz.

AMD compares the 15 W Ryzen 7 Pro to a 28 W Tiger Lake I7 and claims a performance gain from 18% to 50% depending on workload. AMD says the Ryzen 5000 will outperform the Tiger Lake by 91% in image processing for content creators.

AMD says they can support 49 participants and deliver up to 10% faster performance than Intel’s I7.

The Zen3 has double the L3 cache of the Zen2, taking it up to 16MB.

The cache is available to all cores, and the cores themselves have a 19% IPC increase over the Zen2.

AMD’s forthcoming Zen 3 (Cezanne) APUs could have 5 to 8 GPU cores running at 1.6 MHz to 2.0 MHz (depending on the thermal design of the OEM). That’s more than enough for everything except maybe full-scene ray tracing, and no one does that anyway.
