AMD Ryzen 7 4800U Performance
The AMD Ryzen 7 4800U is targeted directly at the Intel Core i7-1065G7, offering :
- Up to 4% better single-threaded performance
- Up to 90% better multi-threaded performance
- Up to 18% faster graphics performance
Thanks to its 4 extra cores and ability to process 8 extra threads, the Ryzen 7 4800U can really cut down on the time it takes for content creators to process their work.
Now, its integrated Radeon Vega 8 Graphics is no Speedy Gonzales, but if you can live with low graphics settings, you can actually game at 1080p with decent frame rates.
In League of Legends, its 8-core GPU is slightly slower than the 7-core Intel Iris Plus Graphics, but in most cases, it is between 20%-50% faster.
AMD Ryzen 7 4800U Availability
One of the first laptops to feature the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, which lays claim to be the world’s thinnest and lightest 8-core 25W laptop.
