The news arrives from @greymon55 on Twitter (Via NotebookCheck) who revealed the key information related to Ryzen 7000H and 8000 series. For those unaware, the upcoming AMD Ryzen 6000 Rembrandt is successor to the last gen’s Cezanne. While the Rembrandt is based on the Zen 3+ and RDNA 2 architecture, the succeeding model that will replace it will arrive in two variant, namely Phoenix-H and Raphael-H APUs that feature Zen 4.

These two mobile APU variants will apparently be launching sometime in late 2022. The Phoenix is rumored to be based on the 5nm Zen 4 with up to 8 cores and 16 threads and is expected to feature up to a 40W TDP rating. On the other hand, the Raphael will also be based on Zen 4 but will reportedly feature up to 16 cores and 32 threads, with its TDP crossing 45W. Similar to the Ryzen 7000 series APUs, the desktop Ryzen 8000 series will also launch in two variants as per the tweet.

The processors in question are desktop grade chips, including Granite Ridge and Strix Point. These chips are rumored to be based on the Zen 5 architecture, with the Granite Ridge using 3nm Zen 5 cores for its mainstream desktop processor lineup. Greymon added this chip will sport both 3nm and 6nm Zen 5 cores. Meanwhile, the Strix Point is the next gen mainstream APU lineup for desktops that feature 3nm Zen 5 cores along with 5nm Zen 4D cores as well. So, the desktop APUs are planned to be a hybrid variant with the Zen 4D’s design being similar to the “LITTLE cores” in smartphone chips. Keep in mind that these processors are still far off, so take this report with a pinch of salt.
