From Tom's Hardware: A Redditor has dug up a PCMark 10 result of the unreleased the Ryzen 7 4700U APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). The leaked Renoir chip is part of the upcoming Ryzen 4000-series APU lineup that's expected to land early next year and could paint a devastating picture for Intel's low-end processors. As it stands already, AMD's APUs put consistent pressure on Intel's lower-end parts, but moving forward to the Zen 2 microarchitecture, not to mention an eight-core die, puts Intel's Core i5 series firmly in the crosshairs.
Renoir will finally bring AMD's APUs up to date. The new parts are reportedly based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture and TSMC 7nm process node. The processors would still employ Vega graphics, but will come with a significant core upgrade, as evidenced by the Ryzen 7 4700U.
The model name alone is a hint that the Ryzen 7 4700U is most likely the successor to the existing Ryzen 7 3700U. The new APU shows up on PCMark 10 with a whopping eight cores but lacks SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading). The Ryzen 7 4700U flaunts a 2 GHz base clock and 4.2 GHz boost clock. Being an unreleased processor, the final specifications may vary.
