That's quite a bit faster than its 4700u counterpart (983/4800) and against the 4800u (1029/5839).

Very exciting, now what will Intel try to do to block this…

Nice and all that but I've been trying to get a 4xxx series 2in1 for my mum and it's been painful finding stock etc…. it's all very well having a new chip but it needs to be available (story of tech 2020 lol).

Surely the Lucienne parts should be 4x series and the Cezanne 5x series, thought that was the whole point in missing the 4x series so they could slot the Zen2 APU's in..?!

aw come on you can't even buy 4800U systems at the moment. Either release the 5800U and be done with it or ship some 4800U before you make everyone hold out for the 5800 instead.

Looking forward to the 6800U with RDNA cores in a couple of years time. I would love a new laptop around about then.

Just upgraded from a R5 3550H with RX560X laptop to a R7 4800H with GeForce 2060, it is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I'll be skipping Zen3, this thing can play anything at max detail in HD which is all I need!

AMD's Ryzen 5000U APUs are expected to be released in early 2021. It will be so soon, and quick.

Why is it that Zen 3 multi-core scores never went up by a large amount?
Given the IPC increase of 19%, you'd expect both the single and multi-core scores to go up… however, single core has gone up dramatically, whereas multi-core performance barely increased.

Thermal constraints in small die package.

A single core can boost far higher than multiple cores can together. If the multiple cores could boost as high on a per core then it would be a scalable increase.

no, they might get announced in Jan, and they say “earliest April 2021” which given current lag on things like GPUs etc could mean anything from 1 review sample to none. Given 4800U still isn't really shipping yet I'd be amazed if you can get a product with one in before August 2021 at the earliest, and Christmas 2021 more likely. I'd love to be wrong on that, but I don't think there's much chance of picking one up anytime soon in how I use the term “soon”.

I suspect all those chips are bought up my the likes of HP for Christmas season machines.

Putting out parts on the older arch with ryzen branding is lame. Athlons on the old stuff is normal, but latest gen ryzen stuff should be latest gen.

I'm also disappointed by vega again - when will GCN die?

It's no good AMD launching the 4800U if no OEM will put it in their machines (other than review samples)
