AMD Ryzen Phoenix APUs will fall under the AMD Ryzen 7000 banner because it comes after Rembrandt which is the successor to the Ryzen 5000 ‘Cezanne’ APUs. Phoenix APUs could make use of the Zen 4 processor architecture and updated Navi graphics card. These APUs will launch around 2023 so there’s still a lot of time left for us to wait and see what the actual specifications really look like.
Coming to the Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ desktop CPUs, the AM5 Desktop CPU family is expected to be branded as the Ryzen 7000 series processors. Surprisingly, the roadmap also shows Navi (RDNA 3) IP in the Raphael section which may suggest that AMD could bring iGPUs to its mainstream desktop processors.
The Raphael line of AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs will feature full compatibility on the brand new AM5 platform which will feature DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5.0 support. A recent rumor has alleged that we can expect up to a 25% IPC increase and a 40% overall performance improvement with Zen 4 based processors over Zen 3.
These platforms are still far from being released so there is not much else known about them. We will surely be following them closely and post information as it comes.
