That's great, but none of the Renoir U-series have been made available yet.
They were presumably launched 5 weeks ago along with the H series which is great but the least interesting part of the entire Renoir lineup since the H series will all likely be paired with dGPUs.
The whole point of APUs is the integrated graphics for slim laptops and we've all been waiting since Zen2 launched almost 10 months ago for the same 7nm APUs for power saving and vastly improved performance.
Laptops outsell desktops almost five to one. AMD have screwed up by delaying this long and despite COVID, they chose to lead with their best, newest APU in a model that had no need for tight TDPs, no LPDDR4 to give the APU the crucial extra bandwidth that single-handedly deterimines the performance of the integrated Vega graphics.
"Here's our latest APU designed for LPDDR4-boosted graphics performance at 15W. It's going to be showcased in this hamstrung variant that:
- isn't 15W
- doesn't' use our APU's graphics
- doesn't have LPDDR4
I hope you like seeing how Zen2 performs, even though you've all seen that in thousands of reviews over the last 10 months"
That's how I see the 4800H launch, anyway.
