Summary of AMD's CES 2022 Presentation

Today CES 2022 in Las Vegas began, and AMD was the first to come to the fore to show its technological innovations for the future. These include new desktop and mobile CPUs and new entry-level graphics cards.

Ryzen mobile, CPUs for laptops and notebooks

AMD's first announcement at CES 2022 is for the Ryzen 6000 Series Mobile, a series of notebook CPUs with higher performance and better battery management. They are part of the Updated Zen3 + CPU family, designed to optimize the performance per watt of notebooks. It is not just a matter of efficiency improvements as the integrated graphics will be of RDNA2 quality on GPUs. They will be manufactured using TSMC's 6nm process. They will be compatible with DDR5 memory, USB4 Wi-Fi 6E, USB 4.0, PCI Express Gen4, and will reach speeds of 5Ghz.

For notebooks, battery consumption has been improved with battery performance managers, which mean that a laptop with a Ryzen 6000 can spend up to 24 hours playing videos on a single charge. In general, it lowers power consumption when using web browsing and video streaming, being the most popular and consuming actions in notebooks.

They have also developed the CPUs with gaming and content creation laptops in mind. They are more efficient in rendering video and have support for hardware Raytracing, along with Fidelity FX Super resolution and Microsoft DirectX 12 Ultimate. With this they promise that it will be ideal for playing 1080p games on a notebook. Many of the most demanding modern titles hit 60s steadily.

The launch date will be in February of this year, when the first models begin to arrive. The first commercial products with the Ryzen 6000 Series mobile will be Lenovo's Thinkpad Z, Acer Nitro, ROG Zephyrus G14, Alienware m17 R5, HP Elitebook 845 and 865 G9, Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and Razer Blade 14. In total, a few 200 notebooks based on 20 different models

New AMD Radeon GPUs shown at CES 2022

At least 22 games will team up this year to use AMD's Fidelity FX Super Resolution technology. They have confirmed new portable GPUs with the RX 6000S series. This series includes the RX 6800S and RX 6700S capable of reaching 100 FPS, the RX6600 capable of reaching 80, and the M series expands with the RX 6850M XT, RX 6650M XT, RX 6650M, RX 6500M and RX 6300M, designed with a greater speed than its counterparts “without M”,

In the field of mid-range graphics, they have announced the entry-level 6500XT GPU with 2,6 GHz base clock, 16 CU and RA and 16 MB for Infinity Caché. One will cost about $ 200 and will be available in stores on January 19.

Radeon Super Resolution software coming to AMD suite

Under the name Radeon Super Resolution, this rescaling software will be available in the AMD Adrenaline suite. It will ask us to lower the native resolution of the game and the software will automatically rescale it. It is designed to work in all games and thus increase the rate of frames per second without having to upgrade the graphics card. Coming to the AMD Adrenaline Suite this quarter.

3D V-Caché comes to home CPUs

3D V-Cache from AMD reaches the market CPus. AMD's Lisa Su announced at CES 2022 that 3D V-Cache will be coming to commercial CPU models, with the Ryzen 7 5800 x3D being the first commercial processor to have these features. This CPU will have 8 cores, 16 threads, a better at 0,6 GHz and a 3 MB 64D cache, along with 32 MB of 2D cache. It will hit the M4 motherboards already on the market this spring.

Zen 4 closes CES 2022 from AMD

AMD's latest announcement at CES 2022 is the Zen 5 architecture, built in 5nm on the AM5 platform. It will be compatible with DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5, and will use the LGA socket. The first processors to have it will be the Ryzen 7000. A test made with Halo Infinite shows that it is capable of moving Halo Infinite in 1080 using only the integrated graphics of Zen 4. They will arrive in the second half of this year and hopefully we will give more details throughout the year.
