Contrary to its direct predecessor the Core i7-7600U, which were still dual-cores, the i7-8650U is equipped with four cores but at a lower base frequency of 1.9 GHz. The Intel Core i7-8650U is a power efficient quad-core SoC for notebooks and Ultrabooks based on the Kaby Lake Refresh generation and was announced in August 2017. Intel Core i7-8650U ► remove from comparison Therefore, the Ryzen 5 3500U should be ahead the Ryzen U (2 - 3.6 GHz) and nearly on par with the Ryzen U (2.2 - 3.8 GHz). As the features of the Picasso APUs are the same compared to the Raven Ridge predecessors, we point to our Raven Ridge launch article.ĪMD states that the Picasso APUs are about 8% faster than the predecessors. The integrated dual-channel memory controller supports up to DDR4-2400 memory. Furthermore, the 12nm process allows higher clock rates at similar power consumptions. The Picasso SoCs use the Zen+ microarchitecture with slight improvements that should lead to a 3% IPS (performance per clock) improvements. Compared to the similar consumer variant Ryzen 5 3500U, the PRO model features additional management and security features (e.g., full memory encryption) and longer warranty / availability. Specified at 15 Watt TDP, the SoC is intended for thin mid-range laptops. It combines four Zen+ cores (8 threads) clocked at 2.1 - 3.7 GHz with a Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics card with 8 CUs (512 Shaders) clocked at up to 1200 MHz. The AMD Ryzen U is a mobile SoC for business laptops that was announced in April 2019.
