AMD Compares Ryzen 4000 ‘Renoir’ CPUs To Intel’s 9th Gen H-Series & 10th Gen Ice Lake CPUs – Higher Performance & Value at Each Notebook Segment

[Mark-x]

In its latest product segment slide, AMD has compared its entire Ryzen 4000 mobility family to Intel-based counterparts. The lineup is only compared to processors that are available on the retail shelves and as such, AMD hasn't used the 10th Generation Comet Lake-H series CPUs to compare against their Ryzen 4000 H-series processors. This is a fair practice that is also done by Intel to compare their processors only against those parts that have been announced by its rivals and not those that have yet to be released.

 

The AMD Ryzen 4000 mobility lineup, codenamed Renoir, is made up of 7 chips which have been officially announced while conclusive evidence on the existence of two more high-end chips, in each H-series and U-series segments, exists too. Similar to how AMD compared and showed us the market positioning of each Ryzen 3000 desktop CPU to their Intel counterparts, each Ryzen 4000 mobility CPU is also compared to its Intel mobility counterparts.

 

Similarly, the Ryzen 5 4600U and Ryzen 5 4500U CPUs are compared to the Core i5-1035G1, and the Ryzen 3 4300U is compared to the Core i3-1005G1. The Ryzen 3 4300U offers more cores than the Core i3 while the Ryzen 5 CPUs offer more cores and threads (the Ryzen 5 4500U comes with no multi-threading). The Athlon Gold 3150U is compared to the Pentium Gold 5405U and while it has the same number of cores and threads, it does feature much higher clock speeds of 3.3 GHz versus 2.3 GHz of the Intel part.

 

The same is true for the Athlon Silver 3050U which has a max clock speed of 3.2 GHz versus 2.7 GHz of the Gemini Lake-based Pentium Silver N5000. The N5000 CPU does have twice the cores and threads than the Athlon Silver 3050U but it doesn't come with the same Skylake core as the rest of the lineup which is fine for the market it is aiming for (Chromebooks) but AMD with their 7nm Zen 2 architecture definitely holds a lead against Intel in this segment.

 

Intel is expected to release faster 10th Generation Comet Lake-H CPUs and 10nm+ Tiger Lake-U processors later this year so that would definitely heat up the competition in the mobility space but for now, AMD seems to be all set to conquer more of that good mobility market share from Intel. AMD expects to ship the first Ryzen 4000 laptops in this quarter with 100+ models shipping in the entirety of 2020.
