In China, the Lenovo Yoga Pro Extreme Edition laptop lit up live – it will be one of the most powerful models in the Yoga line. The device will receive an Intel Core i9-13905H processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop 3D accelerator and 64 GB of RAM. But the most interesting thing is that instead of the usual CPU, the Supernova SoM processor module will probably be installed here.

In January of this year, Asus and Intel introduced the Supernova SoM processor module, which integrates the latest generation CPU and LPDDR5X RAM. The joint “packaging” of these components has a number of advantages: firstly, the physical distance between the RAM and the CPU is reduced to almost a minimum, secondly, the memory operates at a higher frequency, and thirdly, the motherboard can be made more compact.

It is known that the Supernova SoM module will be used in one of the Asus laptops, but it has not yet been released. However, Lenovo also seems to be taking the technology into its arsenal: it is expected to be used in the Yoga Pro Extreme Edition.

Apparently, Lenovo Yoga Pro Extreme Edition will be a 16-inch laptop. The official premiere of new items is expected at a large Lenovo event in China on March 21. Then it will become clear whether Supernova SoM is really used in this model.

On March 12, AMD announced the availability of laptops based on the latest Ryzen 7040HS processors, and now, in fact, they took their words back. The company needs time to finalize the Phoenixes (Phoenix is ​​the code name for the line), so laptops based on the latest Ryzen mobile CPUs will not go on sale until April.

“We expect our OEM partners to release the first laptops based on Ryzen 7040HS series processors in April” AMD said in a statement.

There are only three models in the series: the 6-core Ryzen 5 7640HS and the 8-core Ryzen 7 7840HS and Ryzen 9 7940HS. In a series of tests, top models showed their superiority over top-end Intel Core 13 CPUs with a large number of cores.
