AMD’s Rembrandt APU is reportedly a gaming monster – RDNA 2 & Zen 3+

AMD’s next-generation of mobile APUs should deliver a tremendous performance uplift over their predecessors, pushing AMD’s Ryzen Mobile designs to 6nm while also moving to AMD’s Zen 3+ CPU architecture and integrated RDNA 2 graphics. 

According to the leaker ExecutableFix, AMD’s rumoured “Rembrandt” CPU design will reportedly feature 12 RDNA 2 GPU compute units, enabling a huge boost in integrated graphics performance over today’s Ryzen Mobile CPU offerings. Today’s Cezanne Ryzen 5000 series CPUs feature up to eight Vega Compute units, a factor that highlights the benefits of AMD’s Rembrandt design. 

With 50% more GPU Compute Units (CUs) and new RDNA 2 CUs, AMD’s Rembrandt APUs should deliver tremendous performance gains over their predecessors in graphics-related workloads. Rembrandt will sit at the core of powerful mobile gaming offerings from AMD, offering up to 50% more compute units and all of the architectural benefits of AMD’s latest Radeon architectures.  
 
While AMD’s Rembrandt CPUs will offer gamers a lot of graphics performance, it is worth remembering that these iGPUs will remain less powerful than consoles like Microsoft’s Xbox Series S, which uses 20 RDNA 2 compute units in its design. Even so, Rembrandt should offer a great experience on older titles and cross-generational game releases.
