It seems that AMD has lost several samples of the new AMD Ryzen Picasso APU and a user has been able to test them in depth. The new chips called AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G have new Zen+ cores manufactured in 12nm which offers better thermal and overclocking capabilities compared to previous AMD APUs.
Según las pruebas realizadas por este usuario en los AMD Ryzen 5 3400G y Ryzen 3 3200G reflejan una mejora sustancial de rendimiento en el overclock, sin duda el paso a núcleos Zen+ de 12nm respecto a laso Zen de 14nm mejora el rendimiento. Este mismo usuario abriendo el encapsulado de las APU ha podido observar que ahora el núcleo está soldado a la carcasa exterior por medio de una placa dorada lo que mejora también la disipación térmica.
According to the tests conducted by this user in the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G reflect a substantial performance improvement in the overclock, no doubt the move to Zen+ 12nm cores compared to previous Zen of 14nm improves performance. This same user has opening the encapsulation of the APU could observe that now the core is welded to the outer shell by means of a golden plate which also improves the thermal dissipation.
The rest of the data is quite similar to the current AMD 14nm Ryzen APU that we saw months ago in detail. In these new APU AMD Ryzen Picasso we have as differences an increase of the threads from 4 to 8, improvements in speed of the CPU and with the same GPU an improvement in the speed of your watch. So it seems these new APUs are fully compatible with the immortal socket AM4, without a doubt good news to renew our computers.
It is expected that we will soon see the official announcement of these new APUs and we will know their price that should not be much higher than the previous APU at its launch.
