ASUS Turkey Leaks Details of AMD's Upcoming Ryzen 7000 Mobile CPU

[TheLostSwede]

ASUS Turkey has jumped the gun and revealed ASUS' upcoming Zenbook 14 laptop, which in itself might not be a big deal, but the UM3402 as the specific model is known as, will apparently be available with an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU. As AMD has as yet to unveil such a CPU, it appears that ASUS Turkey has gotten ahead of things. A quick search for the Zenbook 14 SKU in question reveals that the current UM3402 model has a Ryzen 5825U processor.

The remaining specs appear identical to the current model, but this is clearly not a typo, as the CPU SKU is mentioned at multiple points on the product page. Based on AMD's CPU model name "decoder", the Ryzen 7 7730U is based on a Zen 3 or a Zen 3+ core that sits in the 15-28 W TDP range. According to Videocardz, it will be using an AMD Vega based GPU. Beyond that, we don't know any specifics about the CPU, but one thing that stands out and may or may not be correct, is that the Zenbook 14 is only listed as supporting two USB 3.2 10 Gbps USB-C ports, rather than USB4, which seems a bit odd. Then again, this is a lower-tier CPU, so it's possible that this is the reason for lack of USB4 support. The fact that ASUS has moved to an IPS based display, from an OLED display on the current UM3402 SKU, also suggests that this might be a cheaper model in ASUS lineup.

Looks like AMD will continue to use a combination of Zen, Vega and RDNA generations for its product lines.

On the desktop side, the AM4 budget and AM5 enthusiast platforms remind me of the Socket 754/939 era.

I think it is smart to continue to use as much already developed Silicon to cover different parts of the market. I just wish the model naming could be more clear.

Zen2+RDNA2
Zen3+Vega
Zen4+RDNA3
i think everyone want buy Zen4

There's a reason why AMD made this...
For the average consumer, it's not going to help though, as it's clear as mud.

They had to copy the leader Intel.

Intel is no longer the market leader. That distinction goes to ARM as the vast majority of internet connected devices use the ARM ISA. Even TSMC makes more money than Intel now just making ARM chips. Last quarter it was $20 billion TSMC and $15 billion Intel.

Back to the point, most do not think of model naming being based off of year but maybe Intel and AMD can make it stick. It helps that any GPU and CPU architecture in the last five years serves the vast majority of consumers worldwide no matter the SKU.

I am in dire need of a new work laptop. If I can find a basic ryzen 7000 series with integrated graphics for like $499 I may go for that.

Unless Zen 3+ works with LPDDR4 I guess it must be a Zen 3? Besides being Vega.

Well, not everyting appears to be accurate when it comes to the specs on the Asus Turkey site, so we might have to wait and see what the final specs are.
Then again, it might just be a cheap, drop-in replacement CPU for the 5000-series.

I disagree with this statement: mud is obviously clearer ...

Asus bird have released new info, god damn. What a time to be alive.

Jokes aside.

Naming for next gEn lApToPs models are WtF...

Probably just a ryzen 5xxx ported to 6nm...

Yeah, it goes with a Corolla... Seriously, under $500? Get one for me, too, if you find them.

IDK where you are from, but where I'm from reading with comprehension is taught in 3rd grade. If info materials like these are hard for you, then I have really bad news...

Considering Intel is using Efficient cores, that are in a way like older cores and also the fact that AMD's mobile APUs are more efficient, I guess what AMD is doing is clever and necessary from a business perspective. Even Zen 2 and Vega is still a very competitive option against, for example i7-1265U, where you have a 12 threads CPU, but with only 2 P cores. The i7-1265U will be advertised as a 10 core CPU and people will buy it based on that description, even over an 8 core Zen 4 APU. We all know that.

Zen2+RDNA2
Zen3+Vega
Zen4+RDNA3
i think everyone want buy Zen4

Everyone in here. Everyone out there want a "24 core CPU", even if that CPU had only 2 P cores and 22 E cores.

The average consumer is in mud because when buying a 16 core Intel CPU thinks that all cores are the same. And most OEMs obviously and even tech sites will just say "16 core CPU". Even in the case of explaining to the consumer the difference, they will still focus on advantages "lower power consumption thanks to E cores", but will avoid to say "even with E cores, Intel CPUs are less efficient because of the manufacturing node". Look at the i7-1265U example. We are in 2022 and an i7 still offers 2 P cores, like we are in 2012.

Hmmm. Zen3/3+, LPDDR4X, Vega graphics - is this some kind of Barcelo follow-up? Or, wait, doesn't Barcelo have RDNA2? This looks very weird.

Nope. Just a 5XXX APU renamed to fool consumers. Which is exactly what people expected AMD to do when they announced their clusterfuck naming scheme.

Ryzen 5XXX APUs ported to 6nm already exist as 6XXX, and are free of the Vega graphics boat anchor.

Porting older processors to 6nm increases yields per wafer, plus AMD's profit margins. Yes, I hate this APU recycling messing up the new gen...

Not suprised... In Turkey we don't have big firms or licensed dealers they may call themselves that but they run them like street stalls no skill or education needed. Communication is poor, profit>decency or laws...

Well, the page should be managed by Asus employees, as if you check the link, it's still under the Asus.com domain.
It appears that the page has been taken down now.

That table makes no sense so far, AMD already made 4250 U, which according to table should be 2020, Athlon Gold, Zen 5, lower, ultra thin model, but it was just way older Zen based Athlon and wasn't ever found in anything ultrathin, only chunky and plasticky.

This. The rule of thumb that higher number = better serves consumers in general well enough. It's not that you can buy a bad processor in a notebook, unless it has a funny name like "Celeron" ... BUT it's highly advisable to know the difference between U and H/HS/HX.

Is it just I who need no more than 2 minutes in google to check any given CPU/APU number meaning?

 

[mechtech]

Have a hard time finding a 5k or 6k series laptop. Hopefully the 7k series will be more widely available.

Looks to be a Cezanne rebrand. The chips ending with -35 should be Rembrandt-based (Zen 3+/RDNA2).

The Ryzen 5 7520U is Mendocino-based (Zen 2), another CPU you should expect to see plenty in laptops at lower segments
