About the AMD Ryzen 9 4900H CPU

The AMD Ryzen 9 4900H is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2020. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 9 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 4900H is compatible with AMD Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Graphics 512SP integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 9 4900H supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 4900H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 9 4900H features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 9 4900H includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Graphics 512SP. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 9 4900H has the 193rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 32.98% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 7 4980U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 4980U is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 4980U is compatible with FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on a 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 4980U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 512 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 4980U features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 7 4980U does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 7 4980U has the 202nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.79% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
