AMD's new mobile processor, codenamed Phoenix Point, will follow the Ryzen 7000 desktop, according to the company's roadmap. Phoenix Point will use a 4nm process, Zen4 CPU architecture, a core display upgrade to RNDA3 architecture, and an AI engine.

IT Home has learned that AMD has said the "Phoenix" series of processors for thin and light game books, 35-45W power consumption, with LPDDR5 and PCIe Gen5 support.

For high-end game books, AMD will also introduce "Dragon Range", using Zen4 microarchitecture, 55W+ power design, support PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 memory technology. The Dragon Range is expected to be similar to the core HX series of the 12th generation, with a desktop processor for a package, which means the Dragon Range is likely to have a 16-core maximum specification.

AMD's Phoenix Point line of mobile processors is expected to be announced at CES in January, with related notebooks expected to ship in the first half of next year.
