AMD Ryzen 4000 desktop APUs codenamed ‘Artic’ spotted on 3DMark

Its been a few months since AMD launched its new Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs and it’s new Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X along with B550 motherboard. The Renoir APUs have received well feedback from reviewers and their performance along with efficiency is excellent.

But the supply for this APUs seems very limited which is slowing the production rate of the new laptops featuring the Ryzen 4000U or 4000H processors. On the other hand, AMD plans to release the desktop variants in Q2 of this year, so that the supply could hopefully catch up by then.

Spotted by the Twitter user @_rogame, a 3DMark entry of an AMD “Artic” chip which is part of the Ryzen 4000 desktop APU family. The processor has a mere 35 W TDP, so it might be part of the Ryzen GE series.

Although the CPU has a base clock speed of only 3 GHz, the chip manages to score higher than the Ryzen 5 4600U or Ryzen 7 4700U in reference. So it may be boosting to more than 4.1 GHz also the faster DDR4-3200 RAM helps to increase the performance.

But surprisingly the iGPU clock speeds appear to be quite low, just at 1.2 GHz, which led to lower scores compared to a Vega 6 iGPU. So this underclocked CPU might be an early sample of the Ryzen 3 4200GE or 4100GE whose performance may be further improved towards the actual launch date.

However, there’s no mention about the number of cores and threads but might feature 6 cores and 6 or 12 threads maybe. Also boost clock speeds will improve and the pricing might be around $150.
