The initial indication of this advancement was found in an entry within the Asus support domain, referencing a new BIOS specifically for the AM5 motherboard, EX-B650M-V7. Per the details provided, the BIOS released on Monday incorporates an update to AGESA 1.0.8.0. This signifies compatibility with an imminent "CPU". Further analysis of the BIOS file divulged the System Management Unit (SMU) firmware consistent with a Phoenix APU 7xx0 series. Until now, AMD has primarily showcased the Phoenix APU, equipped with a maximum of 8 Zen 4 cores and a robust integrated GPU rooted in the RDNA 3 architecture, within the mobile domain, catering to notebooks. The advanced models are classified under the Ryzen 7x40HS series, but there's also the existence of the Ryzen 7x40U, characterized by a reduced clock speed and subsequently diminished power usage.
Drawing parallels with prior models, specifically Ryzen 5600G and Ryzen 5700G, the desktop version is projected to have a TDP of 65 watts. This potentially translates to amplified clock speeds relative to its mobile counterparts. The integrated GPU in the Phoenix boasts of 12 compute units in its complete configuration, exemplified by Radeon 780M, and clocks at 2.8 GHz within the mobile flagship Ryzen 9 7940HS. This GPU holds the distinction of being AMD's most powerful integrated model currently, yet its advancement over its precursor, Radeon 680M, is moderate. However, the performance metrics of this GPU have rendered certain entry-level dedicated GPUs obsolete. It's still a matter of speculation as to the exact timeline of AMD's potential Ryzen 7000G release for the AM5 socket.
