Leave a reply

At CES 2020, AMD announced the Radeon RX 5700M and Radeon RX 5600M mobile GPUs for laptops like the new Dell G5 15 SE!

Here is EVERYTHING AMD has revealed so far about the Radeon RX 5700M and RX 5600M mobile GPUs!

 

AMD Radeon RX 5700M | RX 5600M

The new AMD Radeon RX 5700M and RX 5600M mobile GPUs are using the same Navi GPU as their desktop counterparts, with 10.3 billion transistors fabricated on the 7 nm process.

Unlike the smaller Radeon RX 5500M, this Navi GPU has 36 Compute Units, with 2304 stream processors and a wider 192-bit or 256-bit memory interface.

The AMD Radeon RX 5700M is designed for high-performance gaming laptops, and will have high clock speeds of up to 1.72 GHz, a wide 256-bit memory bus and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory.

The AMD Radeon RX 5600M will debut in 1080p gaming laptops like the Dell G15 SE (pictured above), and come with a 192-bit memory bus and 6 GB of GDDR6 memory.

Both will support the new AMD SmartShift technology, when paired with the new 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile processors.

AMD SmartShift Explained : Smart Power Distribution FTW!

Leave a reply

At CES 2020, AMD announced their SmartShift technology that debuts in the Ryzen 4000 Mobile processors.

What is AMD SmartShift, and how does it work? Let’s find out!

 

AMD SmartShift : What Is It?

AMD SmartShift is a new technology that is being introduced with the new AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile processor family.

It can be simply described as a smart power distribution technique, to dynamically improve CPU or GPU performance with a limited power budget.

 

How Does AMD SmartShift Work?

In a typical laptop, the CPU and GPU each have their own pre-defined power budget.

The CPU and GPU will individually adjust their power consumption according to the load, using less power for a longer battery life, but never exceeding their power budget even when there is a need for more performance.

AMD SmartShift changes that by simply doing away with the pre-defined power budget, and using a shared power budget instead.

When you are running CPU-intensive tasks, it lets the Ryzen CPU take up more of the power budget, improving its performance.

But when you start up a game, AMD SmartShift lets the Radeon GPU take up more of the power budget, for better gaming performance.

Ultimately, SmartShift lets you squeeze out more performance from the CPU and GPU for a limited power budget.

 

The Performance Impact

According to AMD, SmartShift will deliver up to 10% better gaming performance, and up to 12% better content creation performance.

This was based on their internal tests using the AMD Ryzen 4800H mobile processor, coupled with the AMD Radeon RX 5600M GPU.

 

AMD SmartShift : How To Get It

AMD SmartShift is built into the new AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile processor family, but also requires the laptop to have a separate AMD Radeon Graphics GPU.

It also works only with the recently-launched AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition driver.
