Could Rembrandt APUs be laptop / embedded parts only? Apparently, the new FP7 socket, rather than AM4 will be used.
The current FP6 socket is for mobile and embedded CPUs, according to this:

Does AMD even need to release Rembrandt on desktop PCs, with Zen 4 coming at the end of 2022, which is rumoured to have an iGPU?
In the meantime, AMD has let us know that Zen3 CPUs with 3D cache will be available on the AM4 socket, presumably they will be branded as the '6000' series. It's not clear to me if these CPUs will have anything in common with Rembrandt APUs...
I'm gonna guestimate that the performance improvement of the '6800X' vs the 5800X will be similar to the difference between the 5800X (32MB L3 cache) and the 5700G (16MB L3 cache), assuming that the next generation will double the amount of L3 cache. So, between 10-20% higher performance, in most tasks.
According to the Ignor's Lab website, these CPUs will work with existing AM4 motherboards, link here:
