It seems that AMD's betting on this ultrabook will not be enough to defeat Intel, because Lisa Su competes in two buildings at the same time, Comet Lake-U and Ice Lake-U.
As with the H processor configuration, AMD has left the ace up its sleeve in case Intel is challenged, so in the U series it will choose to copy its strategy by announcing what will be the most powerful 15-watt processor to date .
AMD Ryzen 9 4900U: i7-10710U and i7-1065G7 have new rival
The first leak came from Userbenchmark, where the suite also provided anonymous data. And it turns out that this Ryzen 9 4900U has been tested too many times when faced with it by its neighbor Ryzen 7 4800U.
In this case, the basic clock of 1,8 GHz to be raised in 2.35 GHz in Boost, this being a very low figure, so it can be totally ES. Just keep in mind that its lower version reaches 4,2 GHz in it 8 cores and 16 threads.
As such, the new Ryzen 9 4900U will be a Zen 2-based architecture and built on TSMC's 7nm FinFET, where it will obviously share 1 TDP5 watts like all his other brothers. Its CTDP seems to establish itself between 10 watts and 25 watts, the reason why it has a climbing line.
Other features are obviously similar to the Ryzen 7 4800U, including those of the iGPU. (8 CUs at 1750 MHz).
Very low scores should not reflect actual performance
Displayed by User Benchmark will have less to do with the facts, since most of the new APUs have been really bad: 136 points in the nucleus, 198 points in two fields, 383 points in 4 cores and 538 points in 8 cores.
This shows a difference of between 38% and 56% compared to the number of younger brother's scores, which is surprisingly the only criterion that seems to match the closest.
The first rumors set his final speed 4.3 GHz (+100 MHz compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U), which would give it the boost to compete against the 4.7 GHz of the i7-10710U and to a lesser extent the 3.9 GHz of the i7-1065G7, the first being six core with HT and the second being -Quad Core and with HT.
Therefore, the opponent to beat will be the CPU based on Comet Lake-U, where the 400 MHz difference for the Intel processor should be eliminated by two additional cores on AMD. To avoid doubt we will have to wait for AMD to officially announce it, something that doesn't seem to be too far in time.
