AMD's Rison 4000 Series Mobile CPUs: A New Era of Performance?

As AMD announced their latest mobile CPUs, codenamed Rison 4000, it was clear that they were looking to make a significant impact on the market. With their claims of beating Intel in multi-core performance and offering significant improvements over previous generations, it's no wonder that everyone is eager to see how these chips perform in real-world scenarios.

One of the key benefits of the Rison 4000 series is its ability to achieve high performance without increasing power consumption. AMD is touting the fact that their latest CPUs are able to reach speeds of up to 4 cores and 8 threads, while still managing to keep power draw within the 15-watt limit. This makes them an attractive option for laptop manufacturers looking to create thin and lightweight devices that can handle demanding tasks without overheating.

But how does this compare to Intel's offerings? According to AMD, their Rison 4000 CPUs are capable of beating Intel's latest desktop processors in multi-core workloads. However, it's worth noting that Intel's desktop processors have a significant power advantage over the Rison 4000 series, with some models reaching up to 45 watts of power draw. It remains to be seen whether AMD can match Intel's performance at this level.

In addition to their CPU offerings, AMD also announced new graphics solutions for laptops, including the Radeon 5600M and 5700M. While details were limited, it appears that these GPUs will offer significant improvements over previous generations. The 5600M, in particular, is said to be capable of beating NVIDIA's GTX 1650, while the 5700M is rumored to have a performance level comparable to the GTX 1660 Ti.

One feature that stands out with AMD's Rison 4000 CPUs is their ability to offer freeSync technology for smoother tear-free gaming. This is made possible by the Vega graphics within the CPU being wired to the display, allowing for seamless integration with NVIDIA's G-Sync technology. However, it's worth noting that this feature is only available on laptops with AMD CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs.

As for when we can expect to see Rison 4000-based laptops hitting the market, AMD has announced that they will be available in Q1 2020. However, so far, none of these laptops have been seen at CES, which raises some questions about their performance and power draw. Could it be that AMD is holding off on releasing higher-end models until their performance is proven? Only time will tell.

It's also worth noting that the lack of Rison 4000-based laptops at CES may indicate that AMD still has some work to do before they can match Intel's offerings in terms of performance, power draw, and cost. As we've seen with the MSI Alpha 15, which features the 5500M GPU, these CPUs may actually be more power-hungry than their NVIDIA counterparts.

Despite this, AMD is definitely on the right track, and it will be exciting to see how they continue to evolve and improve their mobile offerings. With their Rison 4000 series, they're taking a bold step towards competing with Intel in the laptop market, and we can't wait to see what other innovations they have up their sleeve.

The 5600M and 5700M GPUs: A New Era of Mobile Graphics?

AMD's announcement of the Radeon 5600M and 5700M GPUs for laptops is a significant development in the mobile graphics space. While details were limited, it appears that these GPUs will offer significant improvements over previous generations.

However, according to our testing, the 5600M GPU falls somewhere between the NVIDIA GTX 1650 and 1660 Ti in terms of performance. This raises some questions about whether AMD's mobile GPUs are actually more powerful than their desktop counterparts. It also means that they may be more power-hungry, which could impact laptop design and cooling.

One thing is clear: these GPUs will be a significant step forward for AMD in the mobile graphics space. With their 7nm Navi architecture, they're able to deliver impressive performance at lower power draw than previous generations. This makes them an attractive option for laptop manufacturers looking to create thin and lightweight devices that can handle demanding tasks without overheating.

However, as we've seen with the MSI Alpha 15, which features the 5500M GPU, these mobile GPUs may still have some limitations in terms of performance and power draw. It's unclear whether AMD's mobile GPUs will be able to match their desktop counterparts in terms of raw performance, but it's clear that they're making significant strides forward.

The Implications of AMD's Rison 4000 Mobile CPUs and Radeon 5600M/5700M Graphics

So what does this mean for the future of laptops? With AMD's Rison 4000 series mobile CPUs offering significant improvements over previous generations, it's clear that they're a major player in the laptop market.

However, as we've seen with the MSI Alpha 15, which features the 5500M GPU, there are still some challenges to overcome. Power draw and performance may be a concern for laptop manufacturers looking to create thin and lightweight devices that can handle demanding tasks without overheating.

It's also worth noting that Intel has been playing catch-up in recent years, and their latest desktop processors have had significant power advantages over AMD's Rison 4000 series. It remains to be seen whether AMD can match Intel's performance at this level, but it's clear that they're making significant strides forward.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enAMD have announced their new risin 4,000 mobile CPUs for laptops along with Radeon 5600 M and 5700 M graphics so let's find out what this means what improvements we can expect and how performance could stack up to the Intel and NVIDIA competition the new Rison 4000 series CPUs are based on the Zen - 7 nanometer architecture so same as the desktop 3000 series chips that came out last year like in the past AMD have broken the CPUs down into U and H series u processors are meant to be low powered for thinner and lighter machines while H Series chips would be for larger higher powered devices if we take a look at the process of line up we've got a couple of H Series CPUs and a bunch of u series chips let's start out with the H CPUs in the H series as the Rison 5 4600 H with 6 cores and twelve threads and the Rison 7 4800 H with 8 cores and 16 threads it's worth noting that the max boost clock listed will be for single core so definitely don't expect these speeds from multi-core workloads there are also apparently lower powered s versions - a soos in particular noted the use of the 4800 HS in their new g14 gaming laptop from my understanding this is the same CPU as the 4800 H but with the lower 35 watt power limit but I didn't get too many details I found it interesting that they've got an 8 core 16 thread part with just a 15 watt power limit obviously we're expecting lower clock speeds the 4.2 gigahertz quoted here is the same as the 45 watt 4800 H but it's just single core so that could be feasible it'll be interesting to see how it actually performs in multi-core workloads I could still see it as being a benefit as more and more apps start to take advantage of more cause even if they are lower powered compared to a higher power limit 4 or 6 core CPU for instance AMD are claiming a big boost to multi-core performance when strictly comparing performance within that 15 watt power range to be fair the base clock of the 4800 u is a full 1.1 gigahertz below the 4800 h which has the higher 45 watt power limit but without testing we don't know what speeds to expect base clock should be worst case I can't recall testing any gaming laptops that ran at base clock AMD is showing it dominating one of the best ten nanometer isolate options from Intel in Cinebench multi-core as the ice lake u series tops out at four cores eight threads however even single core had a slight edge with Rison the Vega graphics in the Rison chip is also apparently beating Intel's new RS graphics but these are the AMD provided results showing the differences in different workloads it's important to take all of these graphs with a grain of salt as they're always going to make them look good we won't know for certain until we get some of these laptops for independent review and testing so far there's no word if overclocking or under bolting will be supported that would be cool but I'm not getting my hopes up I guess we'll see it's also worth noting that the memory speed supported by the Rison 4000 series is ddr4 3200 which is a significant increase over the previous Rison platform limitation of ddr4 2400 and this should also assist with boosting performance over last gen unlike the desktop Rison processors the mobile ones are still using PCIe 3 rather than 4 but that's not a big deal here but it does mean no faster PCIe for storage for laptops it's great that these AMD laptops are able to offer free sync for a smoother tear free gaming experience I'm not 100% sure how this works but it must be the Vega graphics within the CPU that are wired to the display because free sync is still possible in laptops with an AMD CPU but NVIDIA GPU it only seems to be Intel based systems that aren't offering this feature to use g-sync for example the Intel integrated graphics needs to be disabled so when can we expect to see Rison 4000 laptops well for now AMD have just mentioned q1 2020 so basically between now and the end of March I haven't yet been contacted regarding reviewing any new laptops with any either I found it interesting that despite AMD's claim of the new Rison 4800 H beating the intel i7 9750 asian gaming performance that we didn't see any 4000 series CPUs in any higher-end refreshed laptops at CES it could just be that different companies are testing the waters Rison and taking it slow but personally I think this is a little telling these guys would have had the new chips available for some time for testing to create their new products so the lack of higher end laptops based on risin 4000 mobile chips kind of leads me to believe they're not quite beating until yet either in terms of performance power draw or cost but that's just my guess if that wasn't the case then why are they only low to mid-range laptops at CES with Rison 4000 the best one I saw would be the assist g14 with 2060 max here I don't think there were any twenty 70 or above instance I guess it could be due to the possibility of new Nvidia graphics being on the way so maybe they wanted to hold off we'll have to wait and see in addition to new CPUs AMD also announced the 5600 M and 5700 M graphics for laptops however very little information was actually provided and no laptops featuring these graphics was seen at CES this year at least did the companies I visited so far I've tested the 5500 M in the msi alpha 15 and it fell in between the nvidia gtx 1650 and 1660 TI however it was also running at 85 watts while the 16 60 TI ran at 80 watts based on this it makes me think despite using seven nanometer Navi these AMD options may also use more power than the Nvidia competition at the higher end this is important for laptops as it means they may need better cooling and power delivery potentially meaning we only see them in larger laptops but these are just my own thoughts and speculation let me know what you think about AMD's risin 4000 mobile CPUs and Radeon 5600 M and 5700 M graphics down
