AMD Ryzen 5000 APU Series Make Intel Tiger Lake Processors Senseless.
Ryzen 7 5800U is 7% faster than Ryzen 4800 40U
With such an increase in performance, although the clock frequency has increased, but not much!
The first test of the upcoming flagship AMD Ryzen 7 5800U APU has appeared on the Web, and it indicates that the new AMD hybrid processors will be noticeably faster than the current ones. Especially if we consider single-core performance.
For a long time, Intel processors were the recognized leaders in single-core tests due to the higher clock frequency. Things started to change with the third generation of Ryzen APUs, with Ryzen 4000 (mobile) and Ryzen 5000 (desktop) getting even faster in single-threaded tests. Interestingly, AMD did not even need to increase the frequencies much for this. And now we can observe another progress in single-threaded computing on the example of the Ryzen 7 5800U.
This APU was tested in Geekbench 5, the result is 1421 points in a single-threaded test and 6450 points in a multi-threaded one. It turns out that the Ryzen 7 5800U is 38% faster than the Ryzen 7 4800U in a single-threaded test and 10% faster in a multi-threaded test. The frequency, of course, also grew, but not much - by 100-200 MHz on duty: 1,9-4,44 GHz versus 1,8-4,2 GHz for the Ryzen 7 4800U. The Ryzen 7 5800U includes an 8-core CPU with multi-threading support - and in this regard, the new APUs are fully consistent with the Ryzen 7 4800U.
Are Ryzen 5000Us a problem for Tiger Lake? Yes, they are, and some more. For example, a powerful Core i7-11370H was recently tested on Geekbench - yes, a quad-core one, but this is a representative of a series of powerful processors with a TDP of 35-45W. Its frequency just starts at 3,3 GHz! So, in a single-threaded test, his result is exactly the same as that of the hero of this news. Well, in the multi-threaded test, the Ryzen 7 5800U, of course, is much faster. At the same time, the AMD CPU frequency is much lower, and the maximum TDP value is 25 watts.
