AMD's 4th Generation Ryzen APUs codenamed 'Renoir' that are based on the new 7nm Zen 2 core architecture have been spotted along with their performance benchmarks. The AMD Renoir family of APUs will be introduced around CES 2020, offering better compute performance than the existing 3rd Gen 'Picasso' family while the 7nm process node will increase its overall efficiency, making them a great option for mobility products such as notebooks and gaming laptops.

AMD's 4th Gen Ryzen APUs 'Renoir' Spotted Along With Performance Metrics - 7nm Zen 2 Based APUs For Notebooks and Desktops

AMD's 4th Generation Renoir APUs (Ryzen) will be based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture and will succeed the 3rd Generation Piccaso APU lineup which is based on the Zen+ core architecture. The 7nm APU family will have a lot of new features to talk about aside from the Zen 2 cores, it will be highly efficient, more than the current 12nm Zen+ parts and will feature a new graphics engine that would either be entirely Navi based or a hybrid Vega core with a more modern feature set.

Three 4th Gen AMD Ryzen APUs were spotted online along with their respective performance metrics by TechPowerUP (via Reddit @ _rogame)

The three configurations were spotted by TechPowerUP, who in their post reveals that the three configurations may possibly feature different specifications and not the same chip, based on the scores. All three chips were tested on the AMD Celadon-RN motherboard which is an internal test platform for the upcoming chips. The core counts and the specific model name have not been detailed, but the entries were made in September in 3DMark 11 (Performance mode). While the specific benchmark URL is provided, the results themselves are hidden.

The first configuration features a CPU clock speed of 1.7 GHz and a GPU clock speed of 1.5 GHz. The GPU memory clock is maintained at 2666 MHz which points out to DDR4. This configuration scores a total of 3578 points in the 3DMark 11 performance benchmark. The second configuration doesn't list down the GPU clocks or memory clock but has a higher CPU clock speed of 1.8 GHz. This configuration scores a total of 3143 points in the same benchmark. The final configuration features a CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz and a graphics clock speed of 1.1 GHz. The score is lower than the other two configurations at just 2374 points which hints at a lower-end graphics SKU which is evident by the lower clock speeds.
