AMD Ryzen 4000: New APUs Announced Only Available to OEM Manufacturers Announced

AMD has also officially announced its new Ryzen 4000 APUs which bring under it heaspreader Vega GPUs and Zen 2 CPU Colors.

ΣCompared to previous desktop APUs, AMD achieves a 25% increase in single threaded applications, which stems from the improved Zen 2 architecture, compared to the Zen + used by the 3200G and 3400G, while the Vega built-in GPUs also show significantly improved past.

In total we see three basic models with a variation each for a total of six SKUs. At the top is the Ryzen 7 4700G with eight nuclei followed by the six-nucleus Ryzen 5 4600G and the quad-core Ryzen 3 4300G while there is also SMT (simultaneous multithreading) technology that doubles the threads.

The company's slides show a significant improvement in performance from previous-generation APUs in the gaming segment, while the presence of Zen 2 architecture inside, along with a larger number of cores contributes to a more powerful model in the CPU segment, with AMD citing in its press release, that in single thread it exceeds by 5% the Core i7 9700, the 9th generation octa-core processor of Intel.

In terms of GPUs, AMD says that this built-in Vega GPU has much higher performance per CU (compute unit) due to higher timings and thus achieves higher performance than previous designs with 11 CUs, as in the case of the quad-core Ryzen 5 3400G.

It is noted that along with the consumer APUs, AMD is also launching PRO a series of them, with advanced security features while both series are designed to be given to OEMs and system integrators around the world, so it will not be possible to buy them from stores, at least in the near future.

For now, several AMD partners such as HP, Lenovo, have taken the position to announce their own systems based on the new generation of AMD, which is noted to be available by the third quarter of 2020.
