The Ryzen 7040 SKUs belong to the Phoenix family, whilst these two SKUs are said to belong to the Ryzen 7045 Dragon Range family

The Ryzen 7 7840HX will have 12 Zen 4 cores, 24 threads, 12 MB of L2, and 64 MB of L3 cache,

The Ryzen 9 7940HX will have 16 Zen 4 cores, 32 threads, 16 MB of L2, and 64 MB of L3 cache

Since the currently available SKUs have clock frequencies of up to 5.4 GHz, it is possible that the newest SKUs will have clocks of about 5.0 GHz

In light of the fact that these two chips are rated with a default TDP of 55W and have the potential to go up to 75W (cTDP), it will be fascinating to see just how much power AMD can optimise for them

AMD is also anticipated to permit Dragon Range X3D supply to other OEMs, it is likely that there will be an increased number of laptops that use the Dragon Range by the time CES 2024 rolls around

At the event, the firm will also reveal its next-generation Ryzen 8000 Strix Point and Hawk Point APUs

Even though some manufacturers accuse AMD of undersupply, AMD is now unable to match the demand for its existing Phoenix APUs Read more on Govindhtech.com
