AMD Ryzen 7 4800U in Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 surpasses Intel Core i7-10750H in Geekbench; puts Core i7-10710U and Core i7-1065G7 to the sword too

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 is carrying the torch for the Ryzen 7 4800U currently, having popped up on several benchmarking websites in the last few weeks. In the absence of a getting our hands on a unit, another Slim 7 has appeared on Geekbench flaunting the capabilities of the Ryzen 7 4800U  Based on AMD's Zen 2 architecture, the Ryzen 7 4800U is an 8 core processor fabricated on a 7 nm process. Able to execute up to 16 threads thanks to Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) support, the Ryzen 7 4800U can clock up to 4.2 GHz.

Despite also having a 15 W TDP, the Ryzen 7 4800U remains competitive against 45 W chips like the Core i7-10750H  Falling short of many recent Intel H and U series processors in the single-core benchmark with a score of 4,919, the Ryzen 7 4800U and Yoga Slim 7 more than make up for that deficit in the equivalent multi-core benchmark. Not only does its score of 27,166 surpass that of the Core i7-10750H, but it also puts the Ryzen 7 4800U ahead of the Ryzen 7 2700X, a 105 W desktop processor.

Likewise, Geekbench shows that the multi-core performance of the Ryzen 7 4800U is in a different league to recent Intel U series processors. By comparison, the Core i7-10710U and Core i7-1065G7 average 17,420 and 18,106 in the same multi-core benchmark respectively, putting them well behind the Ryzen 7 4800U  Factor in an RX Vega 8 GPU and the Ryzen 7 4800U may well set new standards for 15 W laptop processors. The Yoga Slim 7 will go on sale in China from May 11, with prices expected to start as US$850 in the US.
