Shouldn't Ryzen 4000 be a better comparison?

jchw|5 years ago

Ryzen 4000 is a mobile processor. Ryzen 5000 would likely fare better, but it is hard to acquire right now. Even then, it will be a process node behind the M1 (TSMC 7nm vs 5nm) so I suspect the battle for the fastest core will be heating up into next year.

edit: ah, I suppose the M1 is also a mobile processor. Having one myself (in the form of a Mac Mini,) it’s easy to forget...

Not necessarily mobile, 4750G is an 8-core desktop APU (especially famous in the overclocking crowd for having the best DDR4 memory controller ever, thanks to being a monolithic TSMC 7nm die).

Ryzen 4000 series (which is for laptops) is relatively easy to get, but I don't fault the author for not buying a laptop specifically for this benchmark. The 3900x still pulls more power and is on the same technology as the 4900HS/4900H so it's definitely not a bad-faith comparison.

Agree, but comparing a desktop class processor that was released 1.5yrs ago that at minimum was taking 100W or more to compute is still very eye-opening in seeing how far processor technology has come in such a short time.
