Rumor: AMD Rembrandt APUs to Feature Zen3+, RDNA2 Architectures - Up to 12 CUs
A fresh rumor straight from the rumor mill paints AMD's next APU iterations as being updated to the latest and greatest architectures the company has to offer. The rumor comes from ExecutableFix via Twitter, a leaker who has a relatively proven track record on being right regarding upcoming hardware releases. This rumor can lay some credence to others, painting AMD's Ryzen 7000 series as being the first AMD APU-only release since they began their journey with the Zen architecture - it makes sense for the company to integrate their latest architectures in the mobile-geared Rembrandt first, working out some possible interaction quirks that might arise between the two architectures when deployed in the same package.
The leaker further affirms that the Rembrandt APUs will feature up to 12 RDNA2 CUs, which would amount to 768 stream processors on-chip - a marked increase from the current-generation 8 CUs based on the Vega architecture on their Ryzen 4000 mobile series. The leaker also discloses that AMD's Warhol seems to be MIA in recent AMD documentation and planning when it comes to the deployment of Zen3+, and that Rembrandt should be the one to carry that particular architecture refinement through to the 6 nm process. It would seem that AMD's Vega would "finally" see its demise, bringing about some much-needed performance improvements to counter Intel's investments in GPU performance with Xe.

A single pipeline's power rail is easier to anticipate. Seperate units don't mix and match instead of a single device that does everything in its own power gating profile.
The FPU will become APU which is the radeon GPU we take for granted. GPU≡APU as they develop more dynamic workloads in my opinion.
*Nods in approval*
Guy's even wearing a red shirt for the occasion.
Waiting for an APU with 20 CUs.............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
rei- generation architecture.I don't like Apple but least M1 name is simple, M and 1. Intel has many lakes and wells and those get messy, NVidia and AMD keeps attaching their product with (influential)people and places, at some point it all looks like marketing ploy.
