AMD’s hybrid APU “Phoenix 2”.
A purported die shot of AMD’s next hybrid acceleration processing unit featuring Zen 4 and Zen 4c general-purpose cores has been published by hardware leaker HXL.
This APU is expected to be the little brother of AMD’s Phoenix, and will sit below these products in the Ryzen lineup.
A die shot of what appears to be a Phoenix 2 processor shows a large L3 cache (center left, green structure), two high-performance Zen 4 cores (below the L3 cache), and four small Zen 4c cores (three above the L3). (one to the right of the Zen 2 core) and a large built-in GPU (on the right) are clearly visible.
Additionally, there are multiple DDR5/LPDDR5 PHY interfaces on the top of the die, and PCIe, USB, and other physical interfaces on the bottom and left and right sides of the APU.
While AMD’s Ryzen 7040 series (Phoenix) APU is equipped with eight high-performance Zen 4 cores, the Phoenix 2 has two high-performance Zen 4 cores and four energy-efficient Zen 4c cores. The Phoenix 2 has only six cores in total, and these cores are much smaller than their corresponding cores, suggesting that AMD is positioning the Phoenix 2 as a low-cost APU for inexpensive notebooks.
It remains to be seen what else AMD cut to make this chip smaller and more affordable, but we’ll find out when AMD officially launches these products. That’s it.
AMD’s first hybrid CPU design strengthens its competitiveness against Intel’s Alder Lake and Raptor Lake products in the laptop processor segment.
By mixing high-performance and high-efficiency cores, AMD is able to achieve performance metrics at power levels previously unattainable.
On the other hand, considering the design specs of Zen 4c and Phoenix 2, it will be significantly cheaper than the original Phoenix, opening a new door for Zen 4.
AMD’s codenamed Phoenix 2 processor was expected to hit the market this year, but even in September, this APU is nowhere to be seen, so perhaps AMD is using it as part of the Ryzen 8000 series, which is expected to arrive in 2024. I guess they decided to make it part of their lineup.
On the other hand, if AMD’s Phoenix 2 hits the market in 2024, it will have to compete with Intel’s entry-level Meteor Lake.

Explanation:
Is Phoenix2 included in the Ryzen8000 series?
The Phoenix 2, which uses the AMD version hybrid, has been around only for information but the actual product has not come out easily, but it seems that it will be lined up in the Ryzen 8000 series instead of the Ryzen 7000 series.
Considering that there are low-end models such as the 7520 and 7530 for mobile use, the Phoenix 2 that uses Zen4/C is considered to be equivalent to the mid-range, but if you look at the introduction of the latest technology to a model that is more than a commodity, In the future, it seems that they will focus on products installed in general notebook PCs, rather than high-performance Ryzen for desktops.
The share of mobile products in shipped products is over 70%, so I think this is the correct decision if you are making a rational management decision.
As a homebrew fan, I’m disappointed…
Now, the desktop version of the Ryzen 7000G series is not coming out quite often, but I wonder if it will continue to be released.
I thought the 7700G would be released soon, but in the end it wasn’t released this year.
As a result, Zen3 + RDNA2 6700G will not be released, and this will be the second consecutive year that it will not be released.
I think some small PC fans are waiting a long time…
Speaking of Ryzen 7 7840U, it is highly sought after for portable gaming PCs such as ROG Ally, and it is rarely installed even in regular notebook PCs.
I thought ROG Ally was certainly an epoch-making product, but I think it’s about time for it to be released for regular laptops and desktops as well.
