Ryzen 3 3250U

 

AMD Ryzen 3 3250U Review 

    This is a newly launched hybrid mobile CPU from AMD. Launch date: 1/6/2020. As the name Ryzen 3 3250U indicates, this is actually a very close model to the previously released Ryzen 3 3200U, but, of course, there are some differences. For example, Ryzen 3 3250U comes with a lower max temperature. And unlike the Ryzen 3 3200U, the core architecture of 3250U is Dali. Likewise, the microarchitecture of this model is Zen but not Zen 2. We also have a 14nm design for Ryzen 3 3250U. 

    The supported memory type for the 3250U is DDR4-3200MHz. We see dual-channel support, as well. And since it is a hybrid processor, which is called an APU, it has an integrated graphics card onboard. 

    The graphics specs of the Ryzen 3250U is as following:

    Number of Graphics cores: 3

    Model: AMD Radeon Graphics

    And the main specs are, of course, the core count and the frequencies. We can say this is a relatively humble CPU, but as it is built for laptop platforms, it does what it should for your daily tasks. AMD Ryzen 3 3250U is a dual-core mobile CPU with 4 threads. There’s an extension called SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading Technology) which allows a stable and smooth multi-core performance. 

    The base clock speed for the 3250U is 2.6 GHz. Besides, the max boost clock speed is 3.5 GHz. The Ryzen 3 3250U has another important technology to prevent unintended ups and downs while the boost is active. It is the famous Precision Boost that facilitates more stable boosting.

AMD Ryzen 3 4300U Review - A Strong Mid-Range APU by AMD

    The new AMD Ryzen 3 4300U processor delivers strong performance for mobile devices with quad-core power and Vega's built-in graphics. And all this is combined with the energy efficiency of Renoir's advanced 7nm core. 

    AMD Ryzen 3 4300U is a 4-core processor. Yet, in terms of mobile CPUs it has a satisfying base clock speed of 2.7 GHz. and a max. Boost speed of 3.7 GHz. It supports dual channel DDR4-3200 and LPDDR4-4266 memory. Level 3 cache size is 4 MB. TDP for the 4300U and its built-in components is 15 watts, although the manufacturer of a particular device can change it within 10 W - 25 W. The latest Zen 2 architecture has enabled the Ryzen 3 4300U to deliver performance at near the Ryzen 5 3500U level. Considering it is a mid-range mobile CPU, the Ryzen 3 4300U has sufficient processing power for many demanding tasks. 

Graphics Performance of AMD Ryzen 3 4300U’s Integrated Radeon RX Vega 5 Graphics Card

    In addition to 4 cores and 4 threads, the 4300U also includes a Radeon RX Vega 5 video processor. If we talk about the capabilities of an integrated graphics core, then Ryzen 3 4300U is approximately equal to Ryzen 5 3500U. Compared to the previous generation Radeon RX Vega 6 (Raven Ridge), Radeon RX Vega 5 has significantly increased its frequency, however, the graphics performance is still lower than Radeon RX Vega 6. 

Ryzen 7 4700U

 

 

AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Review

    The Ryzen 7 4700U is a mobile processor from AMD that was released in January, 2020 and is currently on sale. Thus, it belongs to the Ryzen 7 family and is built on the 7nm Zen 2 Renoir architecture.  Therefore, the processor uses AMD Socket FP6 and Gen 3 PCI express controllers. 

    The model name alone gives us a hint that the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is most likely the successor to the existing Ryzen 7 3700U. Therefore, we can say, In the current product line, the Ryzen 7 4700U occupies a pre-flagship position, and it is likely to compete with the Core i7-10710U. Thus, in terms of performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U outperforms the Ryzen 3 3700U by 17.9%, which is quite impressive. Only one generation has changed, and productivity has increased by more than 15%. 

    For this octa-core Ryzen 7, The base frequency is 2 GHz, and the maximum boost reaches up to 4.1 GHz, there is no SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading)  support, thus the processor can only handle 8 threads. The TDP is at 15W, but can be adjusted between 10 and 25W by laptop manufacturers. Many tech enthusiasts say that the most interesting part of the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is the new Zen 2 core architecture. Compared to the 3000-series APU, the new product offers both twice the number of cores and threads, and an increased L3 cache parameter. In addition, Zen 2 cores run much faster than Zen +, which should lead to significant performance gains. Besides, the chip also includes Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics and dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM and economical LPDDR4-4266 memory along with 8 MB of L3 cache.

    We already mentioned that the Ryzen 7 4700U has integrated Vega 7 graphics. The built-in graphics’ core count is 7 at 1600Mhz frequency rate. It is a seemingly powerful graphics unit considering it is only an integrated one. However, Vega 7 performance is very dependent on the TDP of the processor. Therefore the max. available frequency and the cooling are also important factors affecting the Vega 7 performance. And, of course, there is the RAM. Thus, you can expect the maximum performance from this GPU when using the fast dual channel DDR4-3200. Also, the Vega has many innovations over the Polaris. This architecture is compatible with DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. In terms of performance, Vega 7 should be performing slightly lower than the RX Vega 8 from the mobile Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 2000, sometimes they may perform the same. 

Gaming Performance

    AMD Radeon Vega 7 can handle modern, high-end games only at low graphics settings and low display resolutions. Relatively lighter games like FIFA 20 and Dirt Rally 2.0 should run smoothly on high graphics settings at 1080p. We can’t say the same thing for the games like the Witcher 3, Read Dead Redemption 2 or CoD MW2019. 

Ryzen 7 4800H

 

AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Review

    Ryzen 7 4800H is a new mobile processor from AMD, which in the near future, is likely to become one of the most popular processors of Ryzen H-series, on different notebook & laptop models. 

    The Ryzen 7 4800H has 8 cores and 16 streams running at 2.9 GHz (4.2 GHz in Turbo mode). The 45W TDP can be reduced to 35W and increased to 54W depending on the running tasks. The size of the third level cache is 8 Mb. Inside the Ryzen 7 4800H is an integrated video card with 7 graphics cores operating at 1600 MHz clock frequency. However, it is unlikely for R7 4800H to be installed in laptops without an additional graphics card. In fact, we see an example of this from ASUS; Ryzen 7 4800H used on the TUF Gaming A15, which comes with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a discrete GeForce graphics card. (System setup may slightly vary by region). 

Performance

    Various benchmark tests suggest that the Ryzen 4000 processors handle the high-load very well. Therefore, the Ryzen 7 4800H is about 2% faster in multi-threaded mode than the older Ryzen 9 4900HS, yet 2% slower in single-core. So, in terms of clock speed, we can say those two Ryzen 4000 are performing similarly. In general, a laptop built around the Ryzen 7 4800H would probably perform well on many popular, high-end games, this is, especially when the system is supported by an additional high-end mobile GPU other than the R7 APU. This kind of system would also be performing excellently for daily, simple work and professional office works. 

Ryzen 7 4800HS

 

AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS Review 

AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS aims to satisfy the needs of relatively smaller laptop designs.
