Energy-efficient 15-watt Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 5 4500U perform at the level of 45-watt Intel processors

The performance of the Ryzen 7 4800HS mobile processor is truly impressive. As our tests showed, it is much faster than the desktop Core i5-9600K.

The Vega 8 GPU in the Ryzen 9 4900HS processor is also unmatched. The integrated core is even faster than the discrete GeForce MX250, and sometimes one and a half times faster.

But most potential buyers of AMD’s new mobile APUs are more interested in more affordable, energy-efficient models. Yesterday it seemed that they would enter the market sometime later, but today their reviews began to appear on the Web. And now we will consider one of the first to understand what new products are capable of. In this case, the Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 5 4500U.

Unfortunately, this source has few tests, but it is better than nothing. In this case, the test results are very different from each other, so for the benchmark we take Blender – it’s still a full-fledged editor.

As you can see, the Ryzen 7 4700U is significantly inferior to the Ryzen 5 4600H. From the Core i7-9750H it lags by about 10%, but it is worth remembering that the latter is a 45-watt CPU.

The Ryzen 5 4500U, in turn, is on par with the Core i5-9300H, which is also 45-watt. But the direct competitor to this new AMD product – Core i5-1035G4 – turned out to be one and a half times slower.

It is also interesting to compare the Ryzen 5 4500U with the top-end Ryzen 7 3750H for the last generation and the Ryzen 5 3500U, the direct predecessor of the new product. As you can see, both old APUs are significantly behind.

Unfortunately, there are no integrated tests of Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 5 4500U integrated GPUs yet. As for the processor part, the new products turned out to be very successful, as they compete with Intel’s high-performance CPUs at three times lower TDP and obviously much lower price.
