AMD Ryzen "Fire Range" Mobile Processor Retains FL1 Package

[btarunr]

AMD is readying a successor to its Ryzen 7045 series "Dragon Range" mobile processor for gaming notebooks and portable workstations. While we don't know its processor model naming yet, the chip is codenamed "Fire Range." We are learning that it will retain the FL1 package as "Dragon Range," which means it will be pin-compatible. This would significantly reduce development costs for notebook OEMs, as they can simply carry over their mainboard designs from their notebooks based on "Dragon Range."

"Fire Range" is essentially a mobile BGA version of the upcoming Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" desktop processor. The FL1 package measures 40 mm x 40 mm in size, and has substrate for two CCDs and a cIOD, just like the desktop chip. "Fire Range" hence features one or two 4 nm "Zen 5" CCDs, depending on the processor model, and the 6 nm client I/O die. Much like "Dragon Range," the "Fire Range" chip will lack support for LPDDR5, and rely on conventional PC DDR5 memory in the SO-DIMM or CAMM2 form-factors. Besides the CPU core count consisting exclusively of full-sized "Zen 5" cores, the main flex for "Fire Range" over "Strix Point" will be its 28-lane PCIe Gen 5 root-complex, which can wire out the fastest discrete mobile GPUs, as well as drive multiple M.2 NVMe slots with Gen 5 wiring, and other high-bandwidth devices, such as Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or Wi-Fi 7 controllers wired directly to the processor.

judging by the zen 5 desktop leaks, it seems these will be quite a step up, especially in efficiency and temps over the dragon range, which were hot and fire-y like a dragon )

Dragon range is a nice gaming CPU I suppose, but the most of the laptop configurations are a fucking mystery.

16 cores and a RTX 4060, yeah that makes sense. And don't tell me R0G Strix is for productivity.

I'd love one of these on a Dell/Lenovo/HP office computer with no dGPU, but they won't make one of those

This is gonna be a bomb.

It's called "literally any AMD desktop CPU" because that's all these are.

You mean desktop? You might as well buy a regular 9000 CPU.

No, I mean laptop, but a no frills workstation with no GPU instead of the rare gaming brick oddball these processors are usually reserved for.

I see what you mean. I guess there aren't enough people out there that find this important, especially for a plugged in office laptop.

This is the only one I've seen that doesn't look like a gaming laptop, but it does have a 4070, oh well.
