During CES 2022, AMD and Lenovo revealed that the Raptor 7 Pro 6860z was designed specifically for ThinkPad Z13 series laptops. As part of the industry-leading cooperation, it is said that the chip body belongs to a derivative version of "power optimization".
At that time, amd did not immediately disclose the exact specifications of this exclusive APU owned by Lenovo, but recently the company's product page has revealed all the mysteries. It can be seen that both are 8C / 16t, have 4MB L2 + 16MB L3 cache, and integrate radeon 680m core display.

As a reference, 2 × 16GB lpddr5-6400 memory + 1TB SSD, pre installed windows 11 professional operating system and 30.0 GPU driver.
In contrast, the 12C / 16t core i5-1260p mobile processor (integrated iris Xe core display) equipped with ThinkPad X1 carbon has a maximum accelerated power consumption of 4.7 GHz. (2 × 8GB lpddr5 memory +1tb SSD, pre installed with windows 11 professional operating system)
Compared with the competitive products of Intel alder lake, the leading edge of AMD Ruilong 7 Pro 6860z APU in the benchmark project of cinebench R23 is as high as 25%, the time spy of 3dmark is 20% stronger, and the passport 10 is 50% higher.
What's more, the AMD Ruilong Pro 6000 APU laptop has lower operating temperature and power consumption, and better battery life, so it is more attractive to commercial customers. Finally, the starting price of ThinkPad Z13 / Z16 is US $1549 / 2099 (about 10377 / 14061 RMB).
