Microsoft Plans to AMD Ryzen 4000-powered Surface Devices

With all the talk regarding the performance of AMD’s Ryzen 4000 processors … Microsoft may be considering using these chips in their next series of Surface devices.

Taken from Techradar … Microsoft could be gearing up to launch Surface devices equipped with AMD’s newly-launched Ryzen 4000 APUs.

Microsoft launched its first AMD-powered Surface device last year in the form the 15-inch variant of the Surface Laptop 3, which packs a custom Ryzen 7 CPU with integrated Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics. At the time, the two firms touted the chip as  “the fastest mobile processor AMD has ever made.”

It seems this won’t be the last time Microsoft decides to ditch Intel in favor of Team Red, as a listing in the 3DMark 11 database shows an incoming Surface machine that packs an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U paired with a Radeon RX 5300M graphics card.

… The processor is a hexa-core Zen 2-based Renoir APU manufactured on TSMC’s 7nm FinFET process that’s designed with thin and light devices in mind. The 15W chip has a base clock speed of 2.3GHz and a boost clock of 4GHz, and in addition to the APU’s six CPU cores, it also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 6 integrated GPU that runs up to 1,500MHz.
