AMD was good at desktop processors, but Intel continues to dominate the market for notebook processors. According to Sue, AMD has done a variety of things in the notebook PC market, centering on battery consumption, integrating CPUs and GPUs. Mr. Sue said that the Ryzen Mobile 4000 series has become a major strength of AMD, and OEMs are also designing a lot of AMD's ecosystem, such as Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 announced at CES 2020, ASUS and Dell machines. Is.

From the time that AMD envisioned a chipset for mobile to today, the notebook market has become more demanding, and the idea of making a notebook with desktop-like performance has been rapidly spreading. Is. In addition to AMD's U-series for general mobile use, AMD also offers the H-series, a processor for gaming and creators, with a slightly increased
High-end CPUs such as AMD Ryzen Threadripper have greatly improved AMD's brand recognition and have further strengthened the AMD ecosystem. However, Sue believes that the number of cores for mass-market CPUs is limited to 64 cores for the third generation Threadripper. While 16 and 32 cores are a good number of cores to run multi-threaded applications, 64 cores are not yet optimized. As more processors with more cores are optimized, 64-core CPUs may be able to perform well.
In the Ryzen Mobile 4000 series, the GPU was planned to adopt not the Navi architecture but the Vega architecture that has been adopted and has been fully optimized from the beginning, but there are plans to install Navi in the APU to be released in the future is. Regarding the question of whether there is cooperation with ARM with remarkable performance improvement, such as the announcement
It also mentions competing Intel and Nvidia. There are many cases where AMD processors are installed even in the mobile area where Intel has still invested heavily in building a strong corporate area and ecosystem, and the Ryzen Mobile 4000 series also enters AMD To help you. Mr. Sue replied that he also mentioned the folding screen notebook PC that Intel announced as a prototype and worked closely with Microsoft to promote such new areas. Research and development is underway on `` real-time ray tracing '' installed on Nvidia's GPU, ray tracing is installed on dGPU scheduled to be released by AMD by 2020, and Navi generation high-end GPU will also be released It is scheduled.
Sue says he has a very good partnership with TSMC, which owns a 7nm production line, but needs accurate forecasts because of the tight supply of silicon wafers.

At present, many AMD CPUs are ranked in the top selling ranking of desktop CPUs on Amazon.co.jp, but models equipped with AMD processors are also increasing in notebook PCs in the same way. Sue says he is very excited about what the Ryzen Mobile 4000 series will look like in 2020.
