There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it looks like the next APU generation is coming this year or in the begin of 2022. The new Ryzen APUs will be the one and only family that could feature the mysterious AMD Zen 3+ core architecture.
According to the new details, AMD’s next-gen Rembrandt Ryzen APUs will thus be based on the Zen 3+ and RDNA 2 GPU cores. This isn’t just any Zen 3 / RDNA 2 cores though, as the roadmap also mentions that the chips will be based on a 6nm node. AMD is expected to retain TSMC manufacturing for the Rembrandt CPUs and so the improved process could be expected to deliver around 20% higher transistor density with lower power consumption.
Rembrandt is RDNA 2 based with a maximum of 12 CUs 🔥

AMD’s Zen 3+ is said to be a slight evolution of the existing Zen 3 core architecture, and it will likely bring a number of process optimizations and clock speed improvements, even though the actual underlying design is expected to remain the same. The use of Zen3+ was originally rumored for a desktop release at the end of the year, but new reports now suggest that this has been scrapped in favor of a simple refresh, similar to the Ryzen 3000XT (Zen 2) CPUs, for example. Update instead of launch.
The only Zen3+ that I've seen is the 6nm one in Rembrandt

AMD will also be using its RDNA 2-based Navi 2 GPUs in the Rembrandt Ryzen APUs this time around. The Ryzen 6000 lineup should then offer up to 12 compute units. That means you could see up to 768 stream processors, which would be a 50% jump over Cezanne with only 512 Vega stream processors. In addition to the new GPU architecture, it is also expected that the graphics part of the APUs will have very high clock speeds, as we already know from desktop graphics cards. AMD is also expected to continue RDNA 2 graphics later in the Zen 4-based Phoenix APUs, and only move to the next RDNA architecture starting with the Zen 5-based Strix Point APUs.
In addition to the core technologies, AMD is also said to be deploying its CVML (Compute Vision & Machine Learning) system on the Rembrandt chips to achieve better AI capabilities that would directly target Intel’s future AI-enabled chips in the desktop and notebook segments. Other interesting features of AMD’s Rembrandt APUs will be PCIe Gen 4 support and LPDDR5/DDR5 memory support. The Rembrandt APUs will offer up to DDR5-5200 memory support, 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes and two USB 4 ports (40 Gbps).
AMD’s Ryzen 6000 APUs could thus also be the first APU family to use the new AM5 socket. Because only this new socket will allow full support for features like DDR5 memory support. The Rembrandt desktop APUs are scheduled to launch in early 2022, so the AM5 platform should also be available by that time. So let’s be surprised, because AMD could also cleverly counter Alder Lake-S with this, at least in the graphics area.
