AMD CONTINUES its quest to reach every segment of the PC market with the Ryzen Zen 2 by releasing a new set of processors aimed at one of the few remaining targets: OEM desktops with integrated graphics. AMD’s current crop of 3000-series chips don’t carry graphics, putting them at a disadvantage against Intel’s. The 4000-series offerings are essentially desktop versions of the 4000-series laptop parts, complete with the integrated Radeon GPUs, code-name Renoir. This means it doesn’t follow the 3000-series Chiplet design: It’s a single slice of silicon, and it lacks PCIe 4.0. AMD claims them as the world‘s first and most advanced 7nm x86 desktop processors with integrated graphics. It also boasts of enthusiast-level performance for gaming, with smooth 1080p gaming “right out of the box.”
The main consumer version comes in two groups. There is a trio of 65W TDP chips: The Ryzen 7 4700G, Ryzen 5 4600G, and Ryzen 3 4300G. The top chip has eight processor cores, eight graphics cores, and a base clock of 3.6GHz, a maximum boost of 4.4GHz, and a GPU speed of 2.1GHz. The 4600G has six processor cores and seven graphics cores, a base clock of 3.7GHz, with a boost of 4.2GHz. The 4300G has four processor cores and six graphics cores, a base clock of 3.8GHz, and a boost of 4.0GHz.
