AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs AMD Ryzen 7 4800U: Comparison
Ryzen 7 4700U vs Ryzen 7 4800U: the total threads difference
Expect a near tie. The closest thing to a difference is total threads, Ryzen 7 4700U 8 against Ryzen 7 4800U 16. There is a split on p-core boost clock as well, 4.1 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus 4.2 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4800U. There is a split on p-core base clock as well, 2.0 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus 1.8 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4800U. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics on the Ryzen 7 4800U. Smt enabled is not the same on both, No on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Yes on the Ryzen 7 4800U.
Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 4700U or Ryzen 7 4800U?
Take the Ryzen 7 4700U for ultraportable laptops wanting 8 physical cores at a lower price point than the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U. It is not the one for buyers specifically wanting maximum multi-threaded ceiling, the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U handles that better despite the same core count. Take the Ryzen 7 4800U for thin-and-light laptops wanting genuinely exceptional 8-core, 16-thread multi-threaded performance at 15W. It is the wrong buy for buyers wanting business manageability features, the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U shares this silicon with added PRO features.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, tdp and l3 cache are identical here. They match on 10 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Integrated Graphics the same on the Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 7 4800U?
It is. Both are listed at Yes, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
