While AMD is mostly known for its desktop and laptop hardware, a new leak suggests that the company could be working on a smartphone chipset – the AMD Ryzen C7.
The chipset, according to the leak, includes two Gaugin Pro cores running at 3GHz. These are allegedly based on ARM’s Cortex X1 cores. In addition, there are two Gaugin cores that are based on the Cortex A78 cores running at 2.60GHz. Rounding out the cores are 4 ARM Cortex A55 cores at 2.00GHz.
The GPU is said to be 45% faster than the Adreno 650 used in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. It is also said to have the RDNA-based smartphone graphics solution.
The AMD Ryzen C7 is said to have been built by TSMC using a 5nm process. It also comes with the MediaTek 5G UltraSave Modem which means it supports 5G, and it’s also rumored to support LPDDR5 RAM and a max of 2K resolution at 144Hz refresh rate.
Unfortunately, there are several inconsistencies and misspells in the leaked image which is why we suggest you take this with a pinch of salt. If it’s true, that means we’d have more options in the smartphone chipset space. Competition, after all, benefits consumers.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
