The TDP of the APU is specified at 15 Watt (default) and can be configured from 10 to 25 Watt by the laptop vendor. See our hub page on the Renoir Processors for more information. Furthermore, 8 MB level 3 cache can be found on the chip. The dual channel memory controller supports DDR4-3200 and energy efficient LPDDR4-4266 RAM. In addition to the six CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 6 integrated graphics card with 6 CUs and up to 1500 MHz.

Therefore, the Ryzen 5 4600U is a very fast 15 Watt CPU and clearly faster than the old Ryzen 7 3700U. Thanks to the 4 GHz Boost clock, the single core performance should be similar.

However, it should still beat the fastest 15 Watt Ice Lake Intel Core i7-1065G7 (4 cores, 3.9 GHz). With two less cores, the Ryzen 5 4600U is clearly slower than the Ryzen 7 4700U and 4800U in multi threaded workloads. The chip is manufactured in the modern 7 nm process at TSMC and partly thanks to it AMD advertises a 2x improved performance per Watt for the Renoir chips. They are clocked at 2.1 (guaranteed base clock) to 4 GHz (Turbo) with SMT / Hyperthreading support (12 threads). The 4600U integrates six cores based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600U is a processor for thin and light laptops based on the Renoir architecture. AMD Ryzen 5 4600U ► remove from comparison
