AMD makes chipsets. Each year, the founder supplies a range called "Ryzen C". The latest model, announced last July, is called Ryzen C7. It is an octo-core with two very powerful cores (ARM Cortex-X1 clocked at 3 GHz), two slightly less powerful cores (ARM Cortex-A78 clocked at 2.6 GHz) and four economical cores (ARM Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.6 GHz). They are accompanied by an AMD Radeon RDNA_2 Mobile GPU, a quad-core processor so powerful that it is Ray-Tracing compatible. It would be even 45% more powerful than the Adreno 650 of the Snapdragon 865.
Engraved in 5 nanometers at TSMC, the Ryzen C7 is 5G compatible, of course. It supports RAM in LPDDR5 format, storage in UFS 3.1 format and displays up to QHD+ with 144 frames per second refresh rate. It is compatible with Bluetooth 5.1, WiFi 6 and many geolocation systems. This is an excellent competitor for Nvidia's Tegra X family and Qualcomm's Snapdragon.
It remains to be seen whether Huawei and AMD will really do business. And it's far from impossible. Indeed, AMD is one of the American technology companies hoping that the White House will ease the sanctions against Huawei, because it penalizes American companies. Indeed, the Chinese firm represented a turnover of several billion dollars each year for American companies. But could Huawei consider using AMD components?
