From what we could gain from the reports over the last few years, it was expected that AMD Rembrandt would arrive sometime in early 2022. But if recent claims are anything to go by, we may see a launch sooner than expected. According to a renowned leaker, AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 6000) APUs have already hit mass production and may arrive in the first half of 2022.

Rembrandt is AMD’s next-gen APU that is based on the enhanced Zen3+ architecture and integrates RDNA 2 GPUs. Utilizing both LPDDR5 and DDR5 capabilities, these APUs will be fabricated on TSMC’s 6nm process nodes. With a maximum of 8/16 cores/threads, these APUs are expected to join the Ryzen 6000 series.

Followed this, would be the Zen3+ AMD Rembrandt-H and Rembrandt-U with TDP of 35-45 watts and 15-25 watts respectively. Rembrandt-H will feature 6nm process node, Navi2X (RDNA2) GPU architecture whereas Rembrandt-U will have Navi 2 (RDNA2) GPU architecture. Coupling with them will be the processor, codenamed Barcelo-U that will be based on Zen3 technology, 7nm process node, Vega 4th gen GPU architecture, having a TDP of 12-25 watts, and the same core/threads as the other two, 8/16 max.

The H-series is supposed to power high-end notebooks, U-series is meant for ultra-low-power notebooks. The other two, DragonCrest and Pollack families of processors, scheduled to launch alongside the above-mentioned ones, will power the ultra-low TDP notebooks. The current AMD Ryzen lineup, Ryzen 9 5980HX, shares a lot of the same features as the upcoming APUs with an exception to the updated LPDDR5/DDR5 memory capability and making use of the Ryzen 6000 series of processors.

That said, we will continue to track this, as the exact timeline for these launches is not defined yet.
