From the CES 2020 we get news from AMD, one of the most interesting is undoubtedly his new range of AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 processors Zen 2 with 7nm cores and we also have new AMD Ryzen Mobile 3000 with 14nm Zen cores for the low-cost sector. This processors is the advent for new generation of AMD Ryzen desktop APU in 7nm that will replace the current AMD Ryzen 3400G with 12nm that we saw a few months ago in our review.
These new AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 processors fights their Intel rivals very aggressively, in mono-core performance we do not have a very high difference but in multi-core we have a gain of up to 46%, something that leaves evidence to his rival. On the other hand, in the graphic section, its Radeon Vega cores are maintained, leaving its Intel equivalents far behind. Also we have the AMD Ryzen Mobile 3000 series will leave the Intel Pentium and Celeron low-end price range behind.
| CPU | Cores / Threads | Base / Turbo | TDP | GPU Cores |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 7 4800H | 8 / 16 | 2.9GHz / 4.2GHz | 45W | 7 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 4600H | 6 / 12 | 3.0GHz / 4.0GHz | 45W | 6 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 4800U | 8 / 16 | 1.8GHz / 4.2GHz | 15W | 8 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 4700U | 8 / 8 | 2.0GHz / 4.1GHz | 15W | 7 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 4600U | 6 / 12 | 2.1GHz / 4.0GHz | 15W | 6 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 4500U | 6 / 6 | 2.3GHz / 4.0GHz | 15W | 6 |
| AMD Ryzen 3 4300U | 4 / 4 | 2.7GHz / 3.7GHz | 15W | 5 |
| AMD Athlon Gold 3150U | 2 / 4 | 2.6GHz / 3.3GHz | 15W | 3 |
| AMD Athlon Silver 3050U | 2 / 2 | 2.3GHz / 3.2GHz | 15W | 3 |
Within this new generation we have the Ryzen Mobile 4000-U series focused on low consumption with only 15W TPD and the Ryzen Mobile 4000-H high performance range that can reach up to 45W. These new processors have SmarShift technology that allows load balancing between CPU and discrete GPU to obtain more graphic performance in games or improve energy consumption depending on the use we give to our laptop.
In the same event, laptops have already been announced with this new series of AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 and 3000 processors by leading brands in the sector such as HP or ASUS, without a doubt they will be added quickly more brands to these interesting processors. We hope to hear from the new AMD Ryzen desktop APU soon also with Zen 2 with 7nm cores where they will provide a significant improvement in performance without the consumption limitations that laptops imply.
