AMD unveils two new Ryzen Mobile Processors for Ultrathin Notebooks

AMD has introduced AMD Ryzen mobile processor, previously codenamed the “Raven Ridge” mobile APU, providing a complete entertainment experience with optimal efficiency for premium 2-in-1s, convertibles and ultrathin notebook computers.

As per the company, with a configurable 15-watt TDP, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U and AMD Ryzen 5 2500U processors combine the architecture of “Zen” x86 cores – featuring AMD SenseMI Technology processor-level intelligence – with Radeon “Vega” graphics in a System-on-Chip design to achieve unprecedented ultrathin notebook performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700U is the fastest processor for ultrathin notebooks, with up to 44% more multi-threaded CPU performance as well as up to 161% more graphics performance than the competition.

“We promised to bring innovation and competition back to every segment of the PC market in 2017, and today marks the fulfilment of that promise for consumer notebooks following our successful rollout across the consumer, commercial and high-end desktop markets earlier this year,” said Jim Anderson, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group, AMD.

He later added, “Ryzen mobile processors offer leadership performance for everyday activities, multitasking, and advanced workloads alike, all while enabling amazing battery life. We are pleased to deliver the world’s fastest processor for ultrathin notebooks, offering consumers the opportunity to get the most out of their digital lives through our OEM partners’ notebook designs.”

Consisting of up to 4 cores and 8 threads, Ryzen mobile processors include AMD SenseMI Technology and are designed for leadership performance in a sleek form factor. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700U processor is the world’s fastest for ultrathin notebooks, featuring a 15W nominal processor TDP.

Ryzen mobile processors also introduce for the first time:

* New Precision Boost 2 technology, which accelerates processor performance in workloads using from one to many CPU cores; and

* Mobile Extended Frequency Range (mXFR), which raises sustained performance in notebooks with great cooling solutions on notebooks certified for “Ultimate XFR Performance”

Efficiently Designed

* AMD is ahead of pace for its 25X20 initiative, with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U processor enabling a 5.86X energy efficiency improvement since the beginning of the initiative

* AMD Ryzen mobile processor is targeting up to a 2X battery life improvement
