Yesterday, information about an unannounced processor with integrated graphics Ryzen 7 4700U leaked to the network and as you might have guessed from the chip model, it belongs to the future fourth-generation Ryzen processors.
We would like to thank the user of the reddit platform under the alias _rogame for this leak.
The specs of the 4th Gen Ryzen 7 processors will change dramatically from AMD’s current APUs:
The Zen+ architecture will give way to its successor Zen 2, and chip manufacturing standards will move from 12nm to the thinner 7nm. In addition, the number of cores/threads in new APUs will increase from 4/8 to 8/16. It should be noted that this step was expected from the company back in the third generation of branded APUs, but due to the 12-nanometer process technology, AMD did not erupt with affordable 8-cores with integrated graphics.
Speaking of graphics. According to the information we know, the current Navi architecture in Ryzen 4000 processors should not be expected. In the new APUs, its place will again be taken by a block with the Vega architecture, but its version tends more towards the optimized and used in the Radeon VII video card than the one used in the Radeon Vega 64.
Among several leaks, tests of the new Ryzen 7 4700U mobile APU in the PCMark 10 benchmark were also noticed. The same Reddit user _rogame compared the 15-watt, 8-core, 8-thread Ryzen 7 4700U with the 15-watt, 4-core, 8-thread Ryzen 7 3700U where the former was 18% faster than its predecessor, gaining 4893 points.
