AMD Announces Mendocino Mobile Processor, price and energy friendly
The Ryzen Mendocino mobile CPUs are a new series of processors for consumer notebooks designed to have a long battery life, and AMD has just introduced them.
The first of these components will be integrated into mainstream notebooks, which will be made available in the fourth quarter of 2022. These SoCs combine a 4-core/8-thread CPU based on the more established "Zen 2" microarchitecture with an integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the more recent RDNA2 graphics architecture, in addition to the remainder of its I/O and power-optimization capabilities from the Ryzen 6000 series.
AMD uses TSMC's N6 (6 nm) silicon production technology. The capabilities that are included in AMD Mendocino collaborate to give a battery life of 10 hours or more to mainstream notebooks. Prices for notebooks that are based on these CPUs will range from $399 to $699.

Yes, it is. From 1998 to 2000.
I admit I was a bit confused when I saw this name in 2022, referring to an AMD product.

If they are using Zen 2 for this, it must mean Zen 2 is better than Zen 3 for saving energy. Interesting indeed.

No, it means that they are using older tech to make cheaper chips (which is the whole purpose of these chips).
