In January, AMD introduced the 7nm Renoir hybrid processors, dividing them according to power consumption into two series: Ryzen 4000H (45 W) and Ryzen 4000U (15 W). Simpler laptops were targeted at 14nm Dali family processors. AMD is now ready to name potential competitors for these processors among Intel products.

AMD marketing materials regularly review the competitive positioning of their own products relative to the products of their main competitor. Sometimes this happens with some delay, but in the brochure devoted to AMD mobile processors of the current model year, the company chooses Intel processors of the Comet Lake-H, Ice Lake-U, Whiskey Lake and Gemini Lake families as rivals. Of all the listed, only Ice Lake are produced according to the advanced 10-nm process technology, the rest are faithful to the “good old” 14-nm.

With two older Renoir processors, everything is simple – they must withstand 14-nm Comet Lake-H processors with a similar TDP of no more than 45 watts. Both processor families should be used to create gaming laptops. Intel promised by mid-year to begin shipping 10-nm Tiger Lake processors, but among them there will be only models with four cores and moderate power consumption. In theory, within a year, Tiger Lake-U processors should take the baton at Ice Lake-U, which so far have been recognized as competitors for the main part of the AMD Ryzen 3000U processor range.
With the economical AMD Dali processors, the situation is different: the Athlon Gold 3150U is chosen to compete with the Intel Pentium Gold 5405U of the Whiskey Lake-U family, and the Athlon Silver 3050U dual-core processor is designed to withstand the quad-core Pentium Silver N5000 of the Gemini Lake family. In general, as noted in the AMD marketing brochure, Athlon mobile processors should be the basis for “Modern mass notebooks”.
