New performance results have been released for the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU revealing its overall graphics performance and capabilities at various benchmarks. The latest benchmarks come from Chiphell, where a forum member has acquired an engineering sample of that APU and tested under various performance metrics while hinting at its graphic prowess.
AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU Overclocked, General Capabilities and Graphics Performance Shown Again
The tested AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU is an engineering sample code 100-1000000149 OPN. While we’ve already seen samples with the final clock speeds being tested, this specific variant doesn’t feature the final clocks and works with a base clock of 3.0 GHz and a boost clock of 4.0 GHz. For comparison, the Ryzen The 7 4700G and Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G would officially boast clock speeds of 3.6 GHz base and 4.45 GHz boost. This means that the silicon used by the filter is not what we would expect from the final models, but still, the overall computing and graphics capabilities are the highlight today.
The test was performed on an AORUS B550I PRO AX motherboard with two 8GB DDR4 drives. The specific version is not mentioned, but DDR4 DIMMs were clocked at 4300 MHz with an Infinity Fabric link speed of 2100 MHz. We have already seen 2200 MHz FCLK (DDR4-4400 MHz) at the latest benchmarks, making it a Again it points to the early nature of the design of this particular chip. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G APU was overclocked at 4.3 GHz across all cores, which is a 300 MHz boost over its standard 4.0 GHz (single core) operating impulse clock.
For cooling, the filter mentions a 240mm AIO liquid cooler inside an ITX box and also points to the Noctua NH-D15 heatsink with liquid metal thermal paste. Both are high-end cooling solutions, even for an 8-core APU, so coolers aren’t a problem here. The user reports that in order to reach 4.3 GHz, he had to push the voltage to 1.34 V (CPU-z reports wrong voltage). Based on the stress test, the CPU reached a maximum temperature of 76 ° C on all cores. The user reports that the Renoir APU heats up a bit more than the Ryzen 7 3800X 8 Core CPU, which could be due to its monolithic design.
So let’s talk about the performance benchmarks and note that they ran at 4.15 GHz (1.27 V) across the 8 cores.
AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU Overall Performance Benchmarks
Starting with the benchmarks, first we have the AIDA64 results where the APU with its 4.30 GHz CPU and DDR4-4300 MHz overclocking gets 62.8ns latency and respectable global bandwidth numbers. They’re nothing quite as impressive as the ones we’ve seen more recently, but the filtering recognizes that final retail CPUs perform much better in this department than the ESs you have access to.
In Cinebench R15, the APU scores 2,079 points in the multicore test, while in Cinebench R20, the APU scores 4,789 points in the multicore tests. Despite a lower clock speed and the engineering status of this chip, it matches the same caliber of performance as the Ryzen 7 3800X at Cinebench. Other tests include the SuperPI (1M) execution that the chip could finish in 9,938 seconds and, finally, we have the CPU-z benchmark in which the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G scored 507.8 points in the single core and 5621.2 points in the multi-core bank.
Compared to the Core i9-9900KF operating at clock speeds of around 5.0 GHz, the ES Renoir APU was able to deliver around 5% better multithreading performance, but the Core i9-9900KF took a 6 percent advantage in single core testing. Based on this, the final retail chip will have no problem, even beating the Core i9-9900KF and Core i7-10700K in single-core performance metrics.
AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU Graphics Performance Benchmarks
The filter also tested the graphics capabilities of the Vega 8 GPU aboard the Ryzen 7 4700G and found it to be a very capable graphics solution. The ES chip had the Vega 8 GPU running at 1.7 GHz instead of the final clock speed of 2.1 GHz. To fix it, the leak accelerated the GPU to 2.4 GHz with 4200 MHz DDR4 memory.
The filter did not post screenshots or images, but it did share some performance results on 3DMark Firestrike. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G scored around 5,100 points in 3DMark Firestrike performance and about 2,700 points in 3DMark Firestrike Extreme benchmark. Again, the benchmark results are not based on final silicon or drivers, so the performance of those is expected to be much higher.
Compared to the Radeon RX 550 and RX460, the AMD Vega 8 GPU performs much better in 3Dmark Firestrike with performance almost around a GeForce GTX 950. The Radeon RX 550 scores around 3800-3900 points at the same point of reference and that’s impressive as those are complemented by faster GDDR5 memory and higher power limits compared to the restricted nature of the Vega 8 GPU in an APU.
To update: ITCooker has also overclocked the AMD Ryzen 5 4400G (AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G), the 6-core, 12-wire APU at an impressive 4,765 GHz at 1,425V on the ASRock B550 Taich board.
The AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir APU lineup is expected to be unveiled on July 21, as indicated by our sources above, so AMD is expected to share more official performance data next week.
