According to Jambor, the OnePlus Pad 2 will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. So far, none of the brands have launched a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered tablet. There are speculations that the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro may also feature the same chipset.

The OnePlus Pad, which debuted as OnePlus’ first tablet last year, was a rebranded version of the Oppo Pad 2. Recent reports have claimed that Oppo may soon launch the Oppo Pad 3 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip onboard in China. It is possible that it will debut alongside the Reno 12 series in May. The same device is likely to get rebranded as the OnePlus Pad 2 in the global market.

Unfortunately, the rumor mill is yet to leak other details about the OnePlus Pad 3. What’s known is that it may break cover in the second half of the year.

The inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset suggests that the OnePlus Pad 2 could be pricier than its predecessor. To recall, the Dimensity 9000-powered OnePlus Pad was priced at 499 euros in Europe and Rs 37,999 (~$455) in India. There’s a possibility that the Pad 2 could be priced at around Rs 45,000 (~$540) in the Indian market. Hopefully, the rumor mill will leak more details about the Pad 2 in the coming days.

AMD Unveils New Ryzen PRO Processors with Zen 4, RDNA 3, and XDNA Architectures

AMD has announced a range of new Ryzen PRO series commercial processors built on a cutting-edge combination of architectures: Zen 4 for CPUs, RDNA 3 for GPUs, and XDNA for NPUs. The lineup caters to both laptops (Ryzen PRO 8040) and desktops (Ryzen PRO 8000), offering a total of 16 processors.

These Processors are riding on AMD’s 4nm manufacturing process and AMD Pro tech

These processors boast significant improvements in performance, power consumption, and AI capabilities. The 4nm manufacturing process and integration of AMD PRO technology contribute to these advancements. Additionally, they support the latest WiFi 7 standard and Bluetooth 5.4 for enhanced connectivity.

The Ryzen PRO 8040 series for laptops is designed to meet the needs of two distinct markets. The HS series caters to content creators and mobile workstation users, offering powerful processors like the Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 4.0-5.2GHz clock speed. These HS series processors are capable of handling demanding tasks but come with a higher power consumption rating ranging from 35W to 54W.

If portability is a priority, the U series offers a more energy-efficient option. Processors like the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U boast similar core counts and clock speeds as the HS series but have a lower power consumption rating of 15W to 28W. The unique offering in the U series is the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U, which lacks an NPU unit.

The desktop-focused Ryzen PRO 8000 series comes in two variants: G and GE. Both G and GE series offer Ryzen 7, 5, and 3 processors. Users prioritizing raw performance can opt for the G series, which offers processors like the Ryzen 7 PRO 8700G with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a clock speed of 4.2-5.1GHz. However, the G series comes with a higher power consumption rating of 45W to 65W.

For those seeking a balance between performance and efficiency, the GE series offers a compelling option. These processors, like the Ryzen 5 PRO 8600GE, maintain a similar core count and clock speed as the G series but with a lower power consumption rating of 35W.
