The AMD group had presented its Ryzen 4000 Renoir mobile processors at CES 2020 and it is now the processors for desktop PCs that are unveiled, always with the combination of a processor of an integrated Radeon GPU part.
The new Ryzen 4000 G family still relies on the Zen 2 architecture engraved in 7nm and promises an integrated GPU with enough performance not to necessarily need a dedicated GPU.
This supposes being able to go beyond office tasks and to venture into the gaming territories in 1080p (certainly without pushing the settings to the maximum) and the creation of content.
AMD Ryzen 4000G for desktop
The new offer is divided into two branches, one with TDP of 35W (Ryzen 4000GE), the other with TDP of 65W (Ryzen 4000G). It is this last series which was the subject of a more detailed presentation with three processors announced:
- AMD Ryzen 7 4700G 8- core / 16-thread, 3.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz and 8-core 2100 MHz GPU
- AMD Ryzen 5 4600G 6- core / 12-thread, 3.7 GHz / 4.2 GHz and 7-core 1900 MHz GPU
- AMD Ryzen 3 4300G 4 cores / 8 threads, 3.8 GHz / 4 GH and 6-core GPU 1700 MHz
These processors mark good progress compared to the previous generation but AMD is also happy to show the big performance gap compared to competing Intel solutions … but in 9th generation Intel Core.
We will, therefore, be able to play under acceptable conditions but also carry out various creative tasks with a significant performance gain without having to invest in a separate GPU.
AMD Athlon 3000G
AMD also takes the opportunity to unveil a new AMD Athlon 3000G series at the opening of the range, with three dual or quadcore models, in 35W or 65W for the leader.
Ryzen Pro 4000 for desktop PCs in business
The company also does not forget to complete its range of processors for business desktop PCs with a Ryzen Pro 4000 series also under Zen 2 architecture engraved in 7 nm and equipped with additional security layers.
Two Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G and Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G processors directly follow the existing range while a new member is added with the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G in 8 cores / 16 threads for a frequency of 3.6 GHz increasing to 4.4 GHz in Turbo and with a TDP of 65W.
Here too, we will find a Ryzen Pro 4000GE series with TDP of 35W and AMD Athlon Pro Silver and Gold in 2 or 4 cores and 4 threads in 35 and 65W.
The firm highlights greater energy efficiency compared to the competition from Intel, in particular on performance per watt and overall performance compared to the 9th generation Intel Core vPro.
Compared to the previous generation of Ryzen Pro, the gain in single thread is more than 20% and it goes to + 94% in multithreaded performance between the two Ryzen 5 Pro or + 152% between the old Ryzen 5 Pro and the new Ryzen 7 Pro.
