It’s been rumored for some time now that AMD will be releasing their new Ryzen 3000 series mobile processors. That time has now come as Team Read has officially announced their new processors for mobile applications such as laptops and gaming notebooks at CES 2019.
The Picaso APU
Packed with AMD’s Zen+ CPU cores and their own Vega graphics cores, the new Picasso APUs will come in several SKUs to take on different segments in the mobile market.
Like its main competition, AMD is naming their new processors depending on their use. U-series APUs will cater for low-power usage scenarios such as in ultrabooks with their relatively low 15W TDP.
| Product Line | Cores / Threads | Base/Boost Frequency | GPU | GPU Frequency | L3 Cache | TDP | Memory |
| Ryzen 7 3750H | 4-cores, 8-threads | 2.3GHz/4.0GHz | Vega 10 | 1.4GHz | 6MB | 35W | DDR4-2400 |
| Ryzen 7 3700U | 4-cores, 8-threads | 2.3GHz/4.0GHz | Vega 10 | 1.4GHz | 6MB | 15W | DDR4-2400 |
| Ryzen 5 3550H | 4-cores, 8-threads | 2.1GHz/3.7GHz | Vega 8 | 1.2GHz | 6MB | 35W | DDR4-2400 |
| Ryzen 5 3500U | 4-cores, 8-threads | 2.1GHz/3.7GHz | Vega 8 | 1.2GHz | 6MB | 15W | DDR4-2400 |
| Ryzen 3 3300U | 4-cores, 4-threads | 2.1GHz/3.5GHz | Vega 8 | 1.2GHz | 6MB | 15W | DDR4-2400 |
| Ryzen 3 3200U | 2-cores, 4-threads | 2.6GHz/3.5GHz | Vega 3 | 1.2GHz | 5MB | 15W | DDR4-2400 |
| Athlon 300U | 2-cores, 4-threads | 2.4GHz/3.3GHz | Vega 3 | 1.0GHz | 5MB | 15W | DDR4-2400 |
H-series APUs with their 35W TDP will be focusing on more hardcore gamers and power users who want faster performance but lower power efficiency.
AMD is saying that this new APUs can deliver up to 8% better CPU and GPU performance compared to Raven Ridge.
AMD A-series mobile processors
| Product Line | Cores / Threads | Base Frequency | Boost Frequency | GPU | GPU Frequency | TDP |
| A6-9200C | 2-cores, 2-threads | 1.8GHz | 2.7GHz | R5 Series | 720MHz | 6W |
| A4-9120C | 2-cores, 2-threads | 1.6GHz | 2.4GHz | R4 Series | 600MHz | 6W |
AMD is also throwing in two new processors for the Chromebook market in the form of the A6-9220C and A4-9120C processors. With only a 6W TDP, these two new processors will be instead using an older 28nm lithography in lieu of the 12nm process of the 3000-series APUs.
