AMD’s Ryzen 4000 APUs aims to be even more successful than the leading Ryzen 3000 desktop chips. With twice as many cores as the competing Ice Lake pieces, a comparable IPC, and improved graphics performance, these new processors are likely to be the top of the line in 2020. We have already seen the Geekbench and 3DMark tests where the Ryzen 7 4800U manages to beat the rival flagship from Ice Lake and beyond.
Ryzen 7 4800U and 4600U laptop performance tests
Today we have the Cinebench results of the Ryzen 7 4800U and 4600U, and they even manage to beat the desktop Core i7-9700K:
| CPU | CB R15 MC SCORE |
|---|---|
| Ryzen 7 3700X | 2,116 |
| Ryzen 5 3600X | 1,795 |
| Ryzen 7 4800U | ~ 1,600 |
| Ryzen 5 4600U | 1,300 |
| Core i9-9900K | 2,081 |
| Core i7-9700K | 1,542 |
As you can see, the Ryzen 7 4800U is faster than the Intel Core i7-9700K in the Cinebench R15 multithreading test. This is a 15W (cTDP up to 25W) unit that manages to beat a 95W desktop CPU. Of course, we are talking about a 16-wire processor compared to Intel’s 8-wire option, but it also consumes 4 times less power. It’s also faster than the second-generation Ryzen 7 2700 and is just behind the third-generation Ryzen 5 3600X in terms of processing power.
The energy efficiency of Renoir parts is the highlight of recent times, not the performance. Picasso’s line-up has already performed well, and the main concern was battery life, which AMD handled wonderfully. That’s not to say that the Ryzen 4000 series isn’t fast enough. After all, beating a desktop flagship (the previous one) is no joke for the laptop segment. We’ll keep you up to date.
