“Cézanne” may show very important for AMD’s foothold within the premium cellular computing segments as Intel is getting ready to launch its 10 nm+ “Tiger Lake” processor quickly, with superior “Willow Cove” CPU cores, and Xe based mostly built-in graphics. AMD plans to faucet into its very newest IP. Although its core-count is just not identified, “Cézanne” will function CPU cores based mostly on the newest “Zen 3” microarchitecture. The iGPU will obtain its greatest efficiency uplift in three generations, with an iGPU based mostly on the cutting-edge RDNA2 graphics structure that meets DirectX 12 Ultimate brand necessities.
AMD is tapping right into a refined 7 nm-class node by TSMC – both N7P or N7+ – for its “Zen 3” and RDNA2 architectures, so it is doubtless that Cézanne might be based mostly on the identical node because the CCDs on “Vermeer.” AMD will create 15 W and 45 W product traces based mostly on “Cézanne,” so it could struggle “Tiger Lake” on each segments. There’s no phrase on launch date, however with Intel planning to debut “Tiger Lake” in mid-2020, and AMD planning to debut “Zen 3” within the 2H-2020, a 2020-21 launch window appears possible.
