Upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5700U brings good improvement in multi-core benchmarks with SMT enabled

Its no secret now that AMD will be launching next-gen Ryzen 5000U processors at CES 2021 and hold its momentum what they have achieved last year with Ryzen 4000 processors. Essentially AMD will be mixing things up for their upcoming lineup and use both of their Zen 2 and Zen 3 architectures.

If that strategy will offer more variety and help reduce the deficit in stock, I am okay with this as honestly, Ryzen 4000U series was great and it it becomes more affordable, I will be happy with AMD’s decision of retaining it. So, these Renoir refresh APUs have been called Lucienne APUs with Zen 2 cores and the upcoming Ryzen 7 5700U has been spotted quite number of times now.

The APU has been spotted on Geekbench running on Asus VivoBookn laptops to even HP Pavilions and even on Acer Swift series, now its been spotted on Xiaomi’s RedmiBook Pro 14S. It does make sense because Xiaomi was very fast to adopt Ryzen 4000U on its RedmiBook series in 2020 and it was good but only available in the Chinese market.

The score that this upcoming laptop puts out on Geekbench with the Ryzen 5700U, an 8 core 16 threaded APU, is by far the best we have seen. It scores a massive 6,431 points in multi-core tests, making it much faster than its predecessor Ryzen 7 4700U, which I use everyday scores 5136 points in multi-core tests.

Though the scores have improved with recent BIOS updates, but the average territory should be in that 5000 range for any Ryzen 7 4700U powered laptop out there. This makes the new Ryzen 7 5700U almost 25% faster in the multi-core tests, thanks to the extra 8 threads. While there’s not much difference in single core tests posting 1182 points against the 1137 points by its predecessor.
