The well-known informant @ greymon55 just revealed on twitter that the core display performance of AMD Ruilong 7000 series Phoenix APU processor scheduled to arrive next year may be comparable to that of NVIDIA geforce RTX 3060m** If so, this means that the rDNA 3 GPU kernel will bring amazing graphics performance improvement to the light and thin notebook market.
Earlier, many reports mentioned how rDNA 3 on the next generation APU will kill the entry-level independent graphics card market.
Considering that the performance of current APU core display is quite close to that of GTX 1650, we are even more surprised by the Ruilong 7000 series APU benchmarking RTX 3060m mobile GPU.
It should be noted that the geforce RTX 3060m quoted here is not a "full blood version", but a "max-q" derivative model with relatively limited power (only 60W TDP).

In addition, the CPU / GPU of the Ruilong 7000 series "phoenix" APU also has the problem of power grabbing (the total 34-45w package / about 25W lower than the unique display), and the additional 20W power allows the dynamic enhancement of max-q (the difference between mobile platforms can reach 45W).
As for the rules that rDNA 3 nuclear display can bring to AMD Ruilong 7000 series Phoenix APU, it has been reported that there are up to 24 computing units (Cu).
However, it has been reported recently that the IP Design of rDNA 3 core display has changed, and the number of Cu may remain unchanged from the existing APU.
Even so, considering that each group of WGPs has double shaders (a total of 6 WGPs), the next generation APU can still have 256 stream processors / 1536 graphics cores.
In other words, the expected number of graphics cores of the Ruilong 7000 series Phoenix APU has not changed. The only difference is that the labeling method has been changed. As for the truth, it still needs time to test.
At the same time, amd has predicted the Ruilong 7000 / Zen 4 lineup, including Raphael desktop Am5 processor and dragon range / Phoenix laptop APU.
In terms of performance, even if the Ruilong 7000 series Phoenix APU maintains the same 2.4 GHz frequency as the rDNA 2 core display, the rDNA 3 core display chip with nominal power consumption of 35-45w is expected to bring almost twice the Xbox Tflops calculation force of series s host.

Finally, on the basis of Zen 4 CPU + rDNA 3 GPU, amd Ruilong 7000 series Phoenix APU will also support lpddr5 memory and PCIe 5, and provide derivative models (SKUs) ranging from 35 to 45W.

If all goes well, we are expected to see AMD's official demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) early next year. It is expected that the mobile version will have higher energy efficiency performance than the same series Zen 4 desktop APU.
