The first 3DMark Fire Strike and Time Spy results of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H seem to indicate that the new APU could pose a tough challenge for the Intel Core i7-10750H despite the Ryzen 5 4600H having a lower L3 cache and about 700 MHz lower clock. The performance gains with Ryzen 4000 combined with the availability of a capable Vega iGPU may finally give a shot in the arm to AMD's fortunes in the laptop market.

Benchmarks of the AMD Renoir Ryzen 4000 APUs are leaking at a steady pace indicating an imminent launch of new Ryzen laptops. Recently, the first 3DMark Fire Strike and Time Spy results of the Ryzen 5 4600H have leaked out and from the initial observations, it seems AMD could very well give a tough run for the Intel Core i7-10750H

In 3DMark, the Ryzen 5 4600H scored 17,466 points in the Fire Strike Physics test. For perspective, the Ryzen 7 4800HS scores 20,970 points while a Ryzen 5 4500U scores 10,042 points. Interestingly, the Ryzen 5 4600H's Fire Strike score is within striking distance of the Core i7-10750H, which scores 17,921 points. The Physics test is CPU-intensive, and it is good to see there's not much difference is scores between the Ryzen 5 4600H and the Core i7-10750H despite the latter having a 700 MHz clock advantage, higher L3 cache and a more refined 14nm process. 

Coming to the Time Spy results, we see that the Ryzen 5 4600H manages to score 6,499 points in the CPU test. Once again, we see that this result is very near to the Core i7-10750H's 6,761 points. The Ryzen 7 4800HS and the Ryzen 5 4500U amass 8,868 and 3,272 points, respectively.

While there's only so much we can deduce from a single run, it looks like AMD stands to gain big from Ryzen 4000. The inclusion of a much more capable onboard Vega graphics is a welcome bonus for those looking to do some light computing on the move. 

We'll keep reporting about more Ryzen 4000 benchmarks as we get them so, stay tuned.
