AMD has quietly added two new notebook APUs to its lineup. Dubbed the Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H, the chips are aimed at gaming laptops and are based on the company's Raven Ridge design. Both come with Zen CPU cores and integrated Vega graphics and support the DDR4-3200 standard as a base specification.
Ryzen CPU with VEGA graphics ON BOARD!
The Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H APUs have four Zen cores running at base frequencies of 3.2 and 3.3 GHz, respectively. While the former comes with Radeon RX Vega 8 iGPU with 512 stream processors, the latter comes with Vega 11 with 704 SPs.
Both have a similar design to their desktop counterparts, but are rated at a configurable TDP of between 35W to 54W. While that makes them significantly more power-hungry than the 2500U and 2700U introduced last year with 15W TDPs, much of the excessive power consumption is due to the new APUs being clocked significantly higher (1GHz+) compared to the older chips.
The new APUs are still rated much lower than the 65W TDP found on equivalent desktop parts, largely thanks to lower frequencies.
