AMD Ryzen 7 4700G "Renoir" Desktop Processor Pictured
Here is the first picture of the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G, the company's upcoming socket AM4 APU based on the 7 nm "Renoir" silicon, courtesy of VideoCardz. The picture reveals a standard-looking socket AM4 chip with commercial name and OPN markings (100-000000146), matching the Igor's Lab OPN code leak from earlier this week. The Ryzen 7 4700G offers an 8-core/16-thread CPU based on the "Zen 2" microarchitecture, and an integrated graphics solution that combines the SIMD machinery of the "Vega" graphics architecture, with the updated display- and media engines of "Navi." The iGPU is configured with 8 CUs (512 stream processors), which on the 4700G has an impressive maximum engine boost clock of 2.10 GHz, according to the Igor's Lab story.
The 8-core/16-thread CPU of the Ryzen 7 4700G has a nominal clock speed of 3.60 GHz, and a maximum boost frequency of 4.45 GHz, with several Precision Boost power-states in both directions of the nominal clock. The CPU features 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache (4 MB per CCX). The iGPU engine clock goes all the way up to 2.10 GHz, which could help it overcome some of the CU deficit vs. "Picasso," which has 11 CUs (704 stream processors), but clocked only up to 1.40 GHz. Since the Ryzen 5 3400G has an unlocked multiplier, it stands to reason that even the 4700G could. If the platform I/O of "Renoir" in its mobile avatar is anything to go by, then the 4700G could feature a limited PCI-Express x8 lane setup for its PEG port. AMD is rating the TDP of the 4700G at 65 W.

Yes, I know... the word "decent" around here has different meanings depending upon who you talk to.
Didn't care about clock speed, only launch prices. No good matches for 3000G APU's, obviously.
Remember that 16 threads today is much more competitive than 8T was two years ago when the 2400G was launched, so expect no bargains.
Most likely not under $250, I'm guessing more like $269. Also, Comet Lake pricing might have some influence. I hope AM4 Renoir will show up the day before CL, probably not tho.
Also, $300 is possible, but $350 is 10700KF (no IGP) territory, and I have a feeling AMD wants to go lower than that with this one, leaving Matisse for higher price points with its premium features (more cache and lanes etc.).
Remains to be seen how well Renoir clocks, and how much Comet Lake is boiling..
Core i7-10700 $323 (1000 unit trays)
2.9/4.8 GHz
8C/16T
includes IGP
65W
Ryzen 7 3700X $300 (current pricing on Newegg)
3.6/4.4 GHz
8C/16T
no IGP
65W
*RUMORED* Ryzen 7 4700G $330-350 (my estimate)
3.6/4.45 GHz
8C/16T
includes IGP
65W
That looks right.
My take is 399$.
I fail to see why this will cost more than the 3800X.
24 thread 3900X is $410.
Street prices aside, 3700X is a 329$ MSRP right now. You won't launch a better product for less.
Even as impressive as it is it's still a gimped cpu with a built in GFX.
I think AMD is just raising the game with Intel...pay no attention to the extra cores when trying to determine price.
AMD still also hasn't said diddly if the desktop APUs will have PCIe 4.0 or only have 3.0 support like the mobile parts.Yup... AMD seems to have really neutered this thing. :(
3800X is still the premium product, even if it might not make 100 % sense in the end. The way I see it, -X is right under TR, then comes non-X and -G (dunno about the order of the two latter).
In theory we might see -GX Renoir, although I highly doubt it.Didn't AMD lower the MSRP at the end of january? Can't find any info about it tho.It all depends on what the competition will launch between 3700X and 4700G, ie Comet Lake. AMD can't just stare at their own product lineup.
