AMDs next generation of gaming CPUs will be with us next year, but Intels Alder Lake chips seem to have something of a head start. As a result, it looks like the blue team will have plenty of processors on the table by the end of this year, while AMDs new wave supposedly wont hit till the second half of 2022. Yet, AMDs Zen 4 lineup lateness aside, a new leak suggests that its bringing a 16-coreRyzen 7000 laptop processor to the party.
In a short and sweet tweet by NNNiceMing, the insider references zen4 16c notebook, suggesting that a 16-core version of AMDs Zen 4 could be in the works. In response, prominent leaker Greymon55 hinted that the CPUs codename is Raphael-H, meaning it could be a gaming laptop variant of AMDs next-gen desktop CPU with the same name.
The leaker then specified thatthe Raphael-H has 16-cores and is not the same thing as the Phoenix-H, AMDs next APU offering. Of course, we dont yet know the exact specs of the desktop Raphael chip, but the leaked information suggests that AMD couldgun for Intels 16-core mobile Alder Lake that leaked last year.
PCs with enthusiast levels of performance at some point in 2022. Its also worth noting that the red team hasnt confirmed any plans for such a chip, so you should probably take this leak with the usual grain of salt for now. That said, this isnt the first time news of AMDs Raphael-H leak, as Gamers Nexus previously obtained similar information from inside sources over a year ago.
