An AMD Ryzen 7 4800U has been found on 3DMark's Fire Strike benchmark racking up a terrific Physics Score. The Ryzen 4000 APU managed 18,588 points, which is higher than the median score that we have achieved with devices sporting an Intel Core i9-9880H. However, the Intel chip can utilize a higher power draw than the new Renoir processor from AMD.

Intel 9980H CPU doesn't consume UP TO 45W, but much more! 45W is just a starting point.
Which means that AMD low power U CPU completely obliterates the Intel higher power H CPU when it comes to power efficiency!
These Ryzen processors are amazing...
Wiping the floor with Intel.
No idea why so many manufacturers are not releasing AMD high end laptops. Consumers want them.
Anyone know when the new Thinkpad T14 and T14s with AMD will be available? I have a 7 years old Macbook Pro, and I'm thinking of buying one of them.

The new Ryzen 4000 series will be available sometime between April- June.
time to drop leaks no? laptops are here, test them.

on the other hand, is a crazy good read
Excellent. I would love to get one of these 4800u chips in a 15" ultrabook from MSI. I'd say from Asus as well, but they keep trying to cram useless numpads in next to the keyboard, or playing with gimmicky and useless extra displays.

I am waiting on those as well. Currently using a 1st gen core i5 Thinkpad. But I may go for the Asus G14 if nothing else with Ryzen 4000 in the 14" size becomes available soon (not much more $ but a lot more powerful than the T14).

Thank you so much for this. I think I managed to get most of the important points (I was reading through google translate). I will probably wait for U-series processors because of their increased performance at lower TDP's. I don't really require the top end performance of the H-series.
I do require some computational power (else, I would have got a new Macbook Air), but a 15W Ryzen should be sufficient. Weight is important for me, as I carry the notebook in my backpack. So, the T14s seems the right choice for me.
