AMD presents the new Ryzen 9 4000H processor

AMD officially introduces the processors Ryzen 4000 Mobile code name "Renoir", solutions designed for the notebook segment that already we had seen previewed at the last CES in Las Vegas. The company basically confirms the line presented in January with the exception of the top of the range Ryzen 9 4900H is Ryzen 9 4900HS that in the last few weeks had peeked out on the web.

Ryzen 4000 Mobile are actually APUs, based on the7nm Zen 2 CPU architecture – the same as the Ryzen 3000 – and equipped with integrated graphics Radeon Vega. AMD's new notebook offering is divided into two lines: i Ryzen 4000U low consumption with TDP 15W and i Ryzen 4000H with TDP set to 45W for high-performance notebooks

Among these the manufacturer inserts three further models signed with HS suffix, basically of the top models of the 4000H series with 35W TDP and slightly lower clock rates. Here is how the Ryzen 4000 Mobile family is divided:

• Ryzen 9 4900H: 8C / 16T – 3.3 / 4.4GHz – GPU Vega 8 (1750 MHz) TDP 45W
• Ryzen 9 4900HS: 8C / 16T – 3.0 / 4.3GHz – GPU Vega 8 (1750 MHz) TDP 35W
• Ryzen 9 4800H: 8C / 16T – 2.9 / 4.2GHz – GPU Vega 7 (1600 MHz) TDP 45W
• Ryzen 9 4800HS: 8C / 16T – 2.9 / 4.2GHz – GPU Vega 7 (1600 MHz) TDP 35W
• Ryzen 5 4600H: 6C / 12T – 3.0 / 4.0GHz – GPU Vega 6 (1500 MHz) TDP 45W
• Ryzen 5 4600HS: 6C / 12T – 3.0 / 4.0GHz – GPU Vega 6 (1500 MHz) TDP 35W
• Ryzen 7 4800U: 8C / 16T – 1.8 / 4.2GHz – GPU Vega 8 (1750 MHz) TDP 15W
• Ryzen 7 4700U: 8C / 8T – 2.0 / 4.1GHz – GPU Vega 7 (1600 MHz) TDP 15W
• Ryzen 5 4600U: 6C / 12T – 2,1 / 4,0GHz – GPU Vega 6 (1500 MHz) TDP 15W
• Ryzen 5 4500U: 6C / 6T – 2.3 / 4.0GHz – GPU Vega 6 (1500 MHz) TDP 15W
• Ryzen 3 4300U: 4C / 4T – 2.7 / 3.7GHz – GPU Vega 5 (1400 MHz) TDP 15W

Thanks to the optimized 7nm production process, the Ryzen 4000 Mobile offer very high clock frequencies and a high number of cores, a combination that allows AMD to offer a chip like the Ryzen 7 4800U: 8 cores, 16 logical threads thanks to the support SMT and Radeon Vega GPU integrated pushed to 1750 MHz, all squeezed into a TDP of only 15W.

Among the most interesting models there are also the top of the range Ryzen 9 4900H is 4900HS, the first for those who are not looking for compromises in terms of performance, the second is ideal for those who also look at limiting consumption and consequently extending battery life. AMD has not disclosed details regarding the performance of the Ryzen 9 4900H, while the Ryzen 9 4900HS is expected to beat the Intel Core i9-9880H smoothly.

Always according to AMD data, Ryzen 9 4900HS coupled to a GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q guarantees a framerate of over 60 FPS in all the most well-known AAA titles:

With the Ryzen 4000 Mobile, AMD raises the bar even further and presents an interesting proposal on the market which, at least at present, will not be easy for the Intel competitor to counter. If the Sunnyvale company continues with the current pricing policy, which is highly likely, we will soon be able to see a new wave of reasonably priced high-performance notebooks and, more importantly, an interesting update in the mid-range notebook market.

It should be remembered that the Ryzen 4000 Mobile can count on an integrated graphics component that is not indifferent (not to mention the support for LPDDR4-4266 MHz RAM memories), very high in frequency and with performance that makes in many cases superfluous the use of a dedicated GPU, all going to significantly reduce the final cost of the notebook.
