The Renoir APU processor, expected in winter, will bring several graphical innovations in addition to the Zen 2 cores.
APU Renoir renews its entire display section in front of Picasso
The Renoir APU, which will replace the current 12nm Picasso APU, will be equipped with Zen 2 cores which are the ones used in Ryzen 3000. Like all AMD APU processors, these come with built-in iGPUs, and this is where Renoir will receive a redesign.
The new APU chip gets a new memory controller that is likely to handle DDR4 faster, but it will certainly bring LPDDR4 support (some sites talk about LPDDR4X, but the original source says nothing about it). This new controller would add support for effective 4266 MHz speeds, which is more than enough to increase GPU performance.

The second novelty concerns the video equipment. APU integrates the VCN 2.1 video processor (Video Core Next). The use of VCN was first mentioned in Raven Ridge APU, where it replaced the combination of UVD (video decompression) and VCE (video compression). It was then VCN 1.0. The successor, VCN 2.0, is found on the Radeon RX 5700. Renoir will bring VCN 2.1, which would be more advanced than the RX 5700. It is known that there will be a VCN 2.5 that AMD will equip on the Arcturus GPU.
The third and last novelty refers to the possibilities of exit. Renoir gets a new display engine, a device for creating video outputs to which external outputs like DisplayPort and HDMI are connected. It will be DCN 2.1. An output resolution of 8k, DSC 1.2a (Display Stream Compression), combinations such as 4k @ 240Hz or 8k @ 60Hz will be supported for a single output (cable). Of course, the possibility of 30-bit output.
The release date of Renoir APUs is not officially known.
