First Ryzen laptop chips AMD promises big gains in performance and efficiency
First Ryzen laptop chips AMD promises big gains in performance and efficiency. AMD vs Intel: Are you in the market for a new desktop processor? The chipmaker has released its first laptop chips based on the Zen microarchitecture. While AMD has been shipping Ryzen desktop CPUs for some time, these Ryzen mobile processors are important because they will make AMD more competitive in the notebook market, which now accounts for around 60 percent of all PC shipments. But they are also notable because they are the first Ryzen APUs, or Accelerated Processing Units, with on-die Radeon graphics. The announcement was not a surprise since AMD had promised mobile parts by the end of the year, and on the quarterly earnings call earlier this week, CEO Lisa Su said that the company had already started shipping some Ryzen mobile processors. She added that Acer, HP and Lenovo would launch Ryzen ultrathin laptops and two-in-ones "in the coming weeks."
