Amd ryzen 5 4500u, the igpu vega 6 offers great graphics performance

The embargo has yet to be lifted for AMD's Zen 2- based Ryzen 4000 laptops but it appears that some reviews of the Ryzen 4500U-based laptop have appeared on Overclockers.ua . The review shows us a good representation of what can be expected from the main line of products based on the third generation AMD Ryzen 4000 CPU.

AMD Ryzen 5 4500U is up to 50% faster than Core i5-8250U

The tested product was an ACER Swift 3 S314-42 laptop that has not yet hit the shelves. The laptop features an AMD 'Renoir' Ryzen 5 4500U CPU that has 6 cores, 6 threads with a 2.3 GHz base clock and a 4.0 GHz boost clock. The chip has 8 MB of L3 cache and 3 MB of L2 cache and has a 15W TDP. Ryzen 4000 U-series processors are ideally positioned against the 10nm Intel Ice Lake-U and 14nm Comet Lake-U chips. The Ryzen 5 4500U also comes with the updated 7nm Vega 6 graphics core that features 384 cores and a graphics clock up to 1500 MHz.

Notebookcheck made a good effort to compare the laptop with a similarly priced Intel solution based on the 8th generation Core i5-8250U that has 4 cores and 8 threads. According to tests, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U is up to 50% faster than the Core i5-8250U which is also a 15W piece. The new Intel Core i5-10210U or Core i5-10510U and even those based on Ice Lake-U were not compared, but it can be concluded that the higher clock speeds of the 10th generation parts of Comet Lake-U or not Availability of the Ice Lake notebooks are not going to help Intel much in the notebook segment in general.
