AMD's Ryzen 9 4900U, which is going to be the fastest 8 core Renoir CPU for ultra-thin notebooks, has resurfaced. The Ryzen 4000 U-series processor has been spotted by TUM_APISAK in 3DMark's database, confirming that we are getting closer to the launch of faster notebooks in compact & thin designs.

AMD Ryzen 9 4900U Resurfaces - 8 Zen 2 Cores With Up To 4.3 GHz Clock Speeds For Fast Ultra-Thin Notebooks

The AMD Ryzen 9 4900U was unofficially revealed back in February when several OEMs listed the processor for their latest notebook designs. The CPU remains the only Renoir SKU that hasn't been announced yet by AMD but we have various reports and listings which confirm that AMD is indeed making the Ryzen 9 4900U.

Coming to the specifications, we are looking at 8 Zen 2 cores, 16 threads, and a total of 20 MB cache on the Ryzen 9 4900U. The stock core clock is reported at 1.8 GHz which is the same as the Ryzen 7 4800U but its the boost clock of this chip which has received a slight bump. It is speculated that the Ryzen 9 4900U would be able to clock up to 4.3 GHz, a 100 MHz bump over the Ryzen 7 4800U while the Vega 8 graphics chip on this processor will feature the same peak clock speed of 1750 MHz. The chip was tested on the AMD Majolica (notebook) test platform for Renoir APUs.
