That means the chip is intended for thin and light laptops (but with fans). The TDP of the APU is specified at 15 Watt (default) and can be configured from 10 to 25 Watt by the laptop vendor. See our hub page on the Renoir Processors for more information. Furthermore, 8 MB level 3 cache can be found on the chip. The dual channel memory controller supports DDR4-3200 and energy efficient LPDDR4-4266 RAM. In addition to the eight CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 7 integrated graphics card with 7 CUs and up to 1600 MHz. Therefore, the R7 4700U is one of the fastest 15W processors, if the cooling of the laptop is sufficient. The single core performance should be similar (as the 4800U is 4% faster compared to the i7 in Cinebench R20 according to AMD). Therefore, it should still beat the Intel Core i7-1065G7 (Ice Lake, 4 cores, 3.9 GHz) in multi-threaded loads easily. Compared to the faster R7 4800U, the 4700U offers slightly lower clock speeds and no support for SMT / Hyperthreading.ĭue to the missing SMT and slightly lower boost clock, the Ryzen 7 4700U should be a bit slower than the Ryzen 7 4800U (fastest 15W model at launch). The chip is manufactured on the modern 7 nm TSMC process and partly thanks to it AMD advertises a 2x improved performance per Watt for the Renoir chips. There is no support for the thread-doubling SMT tech.

They are clocked at 2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.1 GHz (Turbo). The 4700U integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is a processor for thin and light laptops based on the Renoir architecture.
