AMD Announces Ryzen 10 adn Ryzen 100 Series: Budget-Focused Mobile Processors
AMD is bolstering its laptop processor lineup with two new series - the Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 - aimed at delivering affordability without sacrificing essential performance. These processors, based on existing Zen 2 and Zen 3+ architectures, are poised to equip a new generation of budget-friendly laptops.
The move comes at a critical juncture for consumers. Rising costs for key laptop components, including Intel’s Raptor Lake processors, SSD storage, and RAM, are threatening to increase the overall price of portable computers. AMD’s new Ryzen series offers a counterpoint, providing manufacturers with options to build competitively priced laptops amidst broader economic pressures. These rebadged processors represent a strategic play by AMD to maintain a foothold in the entry-level laptop market.
Details revealed by sources including Olrak29 and 3DCenter, and reported by WCCFTech, outline the specifications of the initial Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series models:
* Ryzen 5 160: Zen 3+, 8 cores / 16 threads, 3.3 / 4.7 GHz, 4 + 16 MB cache, Radeon 680M graphics, 28W TDP, paired with ryzen 7 7735U.
* Ryzen 5 150: Zen 3+, 6 cores / 12 threads, 3.3 / 4.55 GHz, 3 + 16 MB cache, Radeon 660M graphics, 45W TDP, paired with Ryzen 5 7535HS.
* Ryzen 5 130: Zen 3+,6 cores / 12 threads,2.9 / 4.55 GHz, 3 + 16 MB cache, Radeon 660M graphics, 28W TDP, paired with Ryzen 5 7535U.
* Ryzen 3 110: Zen 3+, 4 cores / 8 threads, 3.0 / 4.3 GHz, 2 + 8 MB cache, Radeon 660M graphics, 28W TDP, paired with Ryzen 3 7335U.
These processors utilize integrated Radeon graphics and varying thermal design power (TDP) ratings to suit different laptop configurations. While not representing a significant architectural leap, the Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series are expected to provide a valuable option for manufacturers seeking to deliver affordable laptops to consumers.
