AMD’s next-generation “Renoir” APU, which succeeds the corporate’s 12 nm “Picasso,” would be the firm’s really next-generation chip to characteristic an built-in graphics resolution. It’s unclear as of now, if the chip might be primarily based on a monolithic die, or if will probably be a multi-chip module of a 7 nm “Zen 2” chiplet paired with an enlarged I/O controller die that has the iGPU. We’re getting affirmation on two key specs – one, that the iGPU might be primarily based on the older “Vega” graphics structure, albeit with an up to date show engine to assist the newest show requirements; and two, that the processor’s reminiscence controller will assist the newest LPDDR4X reminiscence normal, at speeds of as much as 4266 MHz DDR. In comparability, Intel’s “Ice Lake-U” chip helps LPDDX4X as much as 3733 MHz.
Code-lines pointing towards “Vega” graphics with an up to date show controller point out the brand new DCN 2.1, present in AMD’s new “Navi 10” GPU. This controller helps resolutions of as much as 8K, DSC 1.2a, and new resolutions of 4K as much as 240 Hz and 8K 60 Hz over a single cable, together with 30 bits per pixel coloration. The multimedia engine can be suitably up to date to VCN 2.1 normal, and offers hardware-accelerated decoding for a number of the newer video codecs, reminiscent of VP9 and H.265 at as much as 90 fps at 4K, and 8K as much as 24 fps, and H.264 as much as 150 fps at 4K. There’s no phrase on when “Renoir” comes out, however a 2020 International CES unveil is probably going.
