In the Ryzen 3000XT series, the company is launching 3 new CPUs.

Radeon Pro 5600M GPU

Apart from the processors, AMD is also announcing the new Radeon Pro 5600M GPU. The new graphics card is based on the RDNA Navi architecture, and replaces older Vega models. The Radeon Pro 5600M will come with up to 8GB HBM2 memory.

You will be able to get the Radeon Pro 5600M on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. However, no other manufacturer has announced plans for using the GPU so far.

New A520 Chipset, StoreMI Storage Solution

The company is also announcing a new motherboard platform. The A520 chipset is meant for low-end Ryzen 3000 CPUs as well as future Ryzen CPUs. While the A520 is an update to the A320 chipset, it drops support for first and second gen Ryzen processors.

A new StoreMI storage solution is also here now. AMD’s announcement comes following the end of its partnership with Enmotus which designed the first StoreMI solution. This allows users to combine multiple SSDs and HDDs along with RAM to prioritise important files. The company is claiming that its new algorithms improve speed even further, but hasn’t given out any details yet.
