Since launched, AMD’s new mobile processors have caused quite a stir in the community and among laptop enthusiasts. Renoir’s CPUs are coming to the market to stand up to the blue giant this time around, based on their Zen 2 architecture and 7nm lithography process. Today we know that they will also use a feature that is highly appreciated by users: PBO, whereby this algorithm, like its desktop brothers, will have a free overclocking option.
AMD supplies the Ryzen 4000 Renoir with PBO, how many MHz will it be able to climb with automatic overclocking?
AMD has recently introduced new Ryzen 4000 APU processors based on the ‘Zen 2’ architecture, extending laptop processors with up to 8 cores with 16 threads and power consumption from 15W to 45W.
Ryzen 4000 APUs are automatically overclocked at 100 MHz on their turbo frequencies
Thanks to the support of the new process architecture, the Ryzen 4000 series not only has a large number of cores as well as the frequency performance is not that bad.
With the launch of the Ryzen 4000 laptop, reviews are in full swing, and thanks to some of the test data that can be seen in 3DMark and GeekBench, we were able to learn more about them.
From the current threshold, the Ryzen 4000 APU seems to have an automatic technology similar to the PBO overclocking of the Ryzen 3000 desktop version which, according to official specifications, can receive an additional frequency of 100MHz.
Currently, the Ryzen 7 4800H runs at 4.3 GHz, while its big brother, the 4700U, also runs at 4.2 GHz.
Interestingly, AMD did not mention this additional acceleration technology in its official presentation. By increasing the frequencies, the APU of the Ryzen 4000 series could provide a little more power.
Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) technology improves the frequencies of each core based on the voltage and temperature of the CPU and is only activated for tasks that require high processing power.
AMD may announce this new feature as we approach the introduction of the first laptops with the Ryzen 4000 series.
