AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir laptop APUs take Intel to the cleaners on PassMark by occupying seven out of the top 10 places in CPU Mark chart

PassMark’s CPU Mark performance chart for new laptop processors features chips that have been tested on the benchmark site within the last 36 months, so there is plenty of room for processors from both Intel and AMD’s older generations to feature. However, unsurprisingly considering the large amount of impressive Ryzen 4000-based benchmark results we have reported about, no less than seven Renoir APUs have taken up position in the top 10 ranking.

At the top of the CPU Mark chart is the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS, which is followed by the Ryzen 7 4800H, Ryzen 7 4800HS, and Ryzen 7 4800U in the next three places. This AMD chain is then interrupted by three Intel parts before the Ryzen 5 4600H, Ryzen 5 4600U, and Ryzen 7 4700U snag the last three places in the top 10. It’s a particularly impressive result for the energy-efficient/low TDP Ryzen 4000-U series of processors.

It’s a demonstrable example of how well AMD has done with the Zen 2 APUs, and there is still room for more domination from Ryzen 4000 chips as the most powerful part in the Renoir series, the Ryzen 9 4900H, doesn’t seem to have appeared on PassMark yet. Clearly there have been big improvements between generations, as the highest-ranked Picasso APU is the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H down in 37th position.
