Amd would be working on a ryzen 5 3550u processor
Table of contents:
If you think that AMD has finished with the launch of its Ryzen 3000 series APU processors, then we have news. The AMD Ryzen 5 3550U, believed to be the 15W version of the Ryzen 5 3550H, has made its first appearance, with two pages on Geekbench .
AMD Ryzen 5 3550U would be a new APU chip with a TDP of 15W
The Picasso family is made up of two lines. The U series chips are focused on energy efficiency and therefore 15W TDP (Thermal Design Power) compliant. The H series, which targets the gaming segment, has a higher margin with a TDP of 35W. AMD launched the Ryzen 3000 series APUs in January, but it turns out that the chipmaker could be working on more models, one of them being the Ryzen 5 3550U.

As for computing, the Ryzen 5 3550U does not generate an alarm. According to Geekbench , it's still a quad-core chip with eight threads and 4MB of L3 cache. Geekbench 4 detects that the Ryzen 5 3550U has a base clock of 2.1 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 3.69 GHz. The software seems to think that the processor has Radeon Vega 8 graphics. However, the problem is in the details.
AMD uses a fairly simple nomenclature for the graphical solutions built into its APUs. Vega is obviously the microarchitecture of the GPU, while the number that follows represents the number of integrated computing units (CUs). Thus, Vega 3 has 3 UC, Vega 6 comes with 6 UC, Vega 8 comes with 8 UC, and so on. Geekbench 4 actually lists the Ryzen 5 3550U with 9 CUs; therefore the Ryzen 5 3550U should incorporate Vega 9, not Vega 8. Since each Vega CU houses up to 64 shaders, Vega 9 should have 576 of them at their disposal. According to Geekbench 4, the Vega 9 runs at 1, 300 MHz.
Comparing the two, Vega 9 seems to offer up to 10.85% more performance than Vega 8. The performance difference is expected, considering that Vega 9 has an extra CU while also running 100 MHz faster than Vega 8.
Why did AMD suddenly decide to introduce Vega 9 right now? Well, Intel Ice Lake might be the answer. With the arrival of the 10nm chips, AMD may be looking for a way to outperform Intel. We will keep you informed.
