Since then, AMD has grown to more than 20% share in the Chromebook market from 5.2% in 2019, based on data from market researcher IDC. Yet these Chromebook designs can offer very good battery life and web performance.”īack in early 2019, AMD announced it was moving into Chromebooks for the first time with its previous generation of chips. These parts do not impact the availability of the 7nm Ryzen parts. AMD is adapting older chip designs (12-nanometer and 14nm parts) with some improvements in memory speeds and SATA controller. “Its previous A-Series parts were no longer competitive. “These are opportunistic designs for AMD and will allow AMD to gain more market share,” said Kevin Krewell, an analyst at Tirias Research, in an email to VentureBeat. The Athlon chips are made with a 14nm process. The chips consume about 15 watts of power. The 2-core or 4-core 3250C is made with an even older 14nm process.
The Ryzen 4-core or 8-core 3700C and 3500C chips are made with an older 12-nanometer manufacturing process. AMD said the Ryzen 7 3700C Mobile Processor offers up to 251% better graphics performance compared to previous-generation AMD Chromebooks, up to 104% faster office productivity performance, and up to 152% better photo editing performance. And certainly, we want to make a play in all of these verticals, from education to enterprise and consumers.”ĭesigned in collaboration with Google, the AMD Ryzen and Athlon 3000 C-Series Mobile Processor lineup introduces the first Zen-architecture-powered Chromebooks launching in the fourth quarter. Chromebooks are doing more attacking more markets with lower cost and higher performance requirements. “It seems like every kid has a Chromebook. “Zen as a core is coming to Chromebook,” said AMD mobile technical lead Robert Halleck in a press briefing. The Ryzen and Athlon processors are up to 178% faster than the previous generation of chips. While the chips target the low end of the market, AMD is attacking one of Intel’s strongholds in a bid to gain market share.
