AMD Ryzen 6000 mobile processors to launch with up to 8 CPU cores and RDNA 2 GPUs but no Thunderbolt 4 support

[Redaktion]

Leaked product slides have showcased what AMD has up its sleeve for the Ryzen 6000 series of mobile processors. The series will feature RDNA 2 iGPUs and up to 8 CPU cores based on a new 6 nm process. The Zen 3+ architecture will be available across ten H-series and U-series SKUs, including the Ryzen 9 6980HX and the Ryzen 7 6800U.

USB 4 can have feature parity(*) with TB3, so these are great news!
(* - manufacturers may opt-out of supporting those modes, mostly due to product segmentation).

AMD is bridging the gap to Intel where it was most lagging behind: IO and the aging GPU. In turn, Intel is also likely to bridge the gap to AMD where it was most lagging behind: raw multicore performance.

2022 is going to be a very interesting year for laptops! Intel still keeps some features, while AMD still has a better fab node on its side. It's game on, we have competition!

like the other guy say, this is good/bad, but AMD staying on USB 4 means some OEM might just put some simple USB-C ports and call it a day.

So, while a step in the right direction, this might blow in their face.

Yeah...oh no, they won't support Intel's proprietary connection!!!!

Assuming USB4 is implemented, it's the same damn thing...but more open.

I do like that TB4 is finally not lying about 40gbps with display like TB3 was though.
