Redmi has officially announced that the company is entering a cooperation agreement with AMD and under this agreement, the company will be launching its first AMD-powered laptop, i.e. RedmiBook Ryzen Edition on 21st October in China.
Now, the company has taken to Weibo to reveal more details about this upcoming RedmiBook. It confirms that the laptop will be powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U chipset and the top-end model will pack AMD Ryzen 7 3700U processor.
The chipset is manufactured using the 12nm process and comes with a quad-core processor having eight threads. Currently, it is the most advanced computer chipset in the market from AMD.
Xiaomi has also claimed that with the launch of this RedmiBook Ryzen Edition, the company will be declaring war on the unreasonably high-priced premium laptops and aims to balance the price to performance ratio.

The Ryzen 5 3500U chipset comes with Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, making it a good low-cost budget solution for gaming. With its four cores and a maximal clock speed of 3.7GHz, it is a great processor for the home and office computing, with ability to easily run multiple apps simultaneously. It can also handle some more demanding stuff as well, such as video editing.
On the other hand, the Ryzen 7 3700U comes with a quad-core APU using AMD’s Zen+ cores, with simultaneous multi-threading enabled to bring the total thread count to eight. Although it uses a 3000-series model, it’s still built on the slightly older 12nm process. It has a maximum clock speed of 4GHz and Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics card with 10 CUs (640 Shaders) clocked at up to 1400MHz.
While the company has revealed the chipsets from AMD that will power this new upcoming RedmiBook, specifications and features of the device remains unknown. However, we expect most of the specs to be similar to the RedmiBook 14 launched a few months ago. The pricing of this AMD-powered laptop is expected to start around 3,500 Yuan (~$494).
