A funny thing happened in 2020: AMD won the gaming laptop for the first time ever. Until the Asus Zephyrus G14<\/a>, we\u2019d never seen a laptop with an AMD CPU and AMD GPU run circles around the competition. Since then, we\u2019ve repeatedly seen that \u201cAMD laptop\u201d no longer means cheap<\/a>. But now, AMD is setting its sights higher than mid-range gaming machines \u2014 it just revealed it\u2019s building a new CPU aimed at the \u201cpinnacle of gaming performance\u201d with the \u201chighest core, thread and cache ever\u201d. <\/p>\n

The new CPU line is codenamed \u201cDragon Range,\u201d and they\u2019ll live exclusively at 55W TDP and up \u2014 enough power that they\u2019ll \u201clargely exist in the space where gaming laptops are plugged in the majority of the time,\u201d says AMD director of technical marketing Robert Hallock. <\/p>\n

Slide: AMD<\/cite><\/p>\n

The slide above shows they\u2019re aimed at laptops that are at least 20mm (0.78-inches) thick, while the 35-45W \u201cPhoenix\u201d line are aimed at machines thinner than that same mark. Both are part of the same AMD Ryzen 7000 series<\/a>, based on the same Zen 4 architecture, and unfortunately, it appears both won\u2019t arrive until 2023 \u2014 Zen 4 will begin its life as the desktop exclusive \u201cRaphael\u201d later this year, according to the chart.<\/p>\n

AMD says that Dragon Range will take up the \u201cHS\u201d suffix for CPUs \u2014 the same as the Ryzen 9 4900HS that impressed us at 35W in that 2020 Asus Zephyrus \u2014 but hinted that we shouldn\u2019t take the higher TDP as a sign that they\u2019ll totally be ditching power efficiency for performance. They\u2019re estimated to be \u201cnotably more power efficient than other laptops in that competing timeframe,\u201d says Hallock. <\/p>\n

AMD wouldn\u2019t provide more details today, and it\u2019s not clear what the new CPUs might bring to the table that gaming laptops necessarily need<\/em>, given that graphics chips, not CPUs, are generally where most of the gaming oomph comes from these days. Still, CPU speed does matter, particularly when you\u2019re trying to feed a high refresh rate monitor (which may soon go up to 500Hz<\/a>) with lower-resolution frames \u2014 and the kind of gamer who buys an \u201cextreme gaming laptop\u201d might care about even a slight advantage in FPS.<\/p>\n

Hallock says the new chips are an opportunity the company thought it could pursue alongside thin-and-light gaming. \u201cThe performance per watt story you\u2019ve been hearing from us will continue into the future as well,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

AMD also told journalists today that, starting next quarter, it will break out gaming into its own financial segment, with revenue from semi-custom parts like PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam Deck chips joining desktop and laptop Radeon graphics \u2014 all part of a single gaming business. It sounds like Ryzen may not be part of that segment though, but rather a \u201cClient\u201d one: the company will explain more at an analyst day in June.<\/p>\n
