Ryzen 7 4000 hybrid chips will be based on zen 2 architecture and optimized vega graphics

Details about the unannounced Ryzen 7 4700U APU leaked yesterday. As the model number suggests, it's part of the upcoming fourth generation of Ryzen processors.

The specifications for fourth-generation Ryzen 7 processors will change significantly compared to AMD's current APUs:

Zen+ architecture is being replaced by Zen 2, while manufacturing will shrink from 12nm to a more advanced 7nm process. Core and thread counts for the new APUs will also jump from 4 cores/8 threads to 8 cores/16 threads. AMD enthusiasts expected this leap in the third generation of APUs, but the 12nm process prevented AMD from delivering affordable 8-core integrated graphics solutions at the time.

Speaking of graphics, current info suggests we shouldn't expect Navi architecture in Ryzen 4000 processors. Instead, new APUs will once again feature a Vega-based graphics block. However, this version is reportedly optimized, closer to what we saw in the Radeon VII than the older implementation in the Radeon Vega 64.

Several leaks also included PCMark 10 benchmark results for the new Ryzen 7 4700U mobile APU. The same reddit user _rogame compared the 15-watt, 8-core, 8-thread Ryzen 7 4700U against the 15-watt, 4-core, 8-thread Ryzen 7 3700U. The 4700U scored 4893 points, making it 18% faster than its predecessor.
