AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Bewertung | 78 Daten im Vergleich

The HP Envy x360 (2021) is a high-value, all-metal 2-in-1, powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor that delivers superior efficiency for daily productivity compared to Intel alternatives. The laptop features a versatile, premium design that mimics HP's more expensive Spectre line while offering excellent keyboard comfort and a cool, quiet operating experience. Key compromises include a mediocre display with poor color accuracy (77.1% sRGB coverage) and relatively low brightness, making it unsuitable for professional creative work. Additionally, while the AMD processor shines, the laptop is hindered by slow SSD write speeds and pre-installed bloatware that detracts from the user experience. Despite these drawbacks, the device delivers strong performance for its price point and boasts impressive battery life, lasting over nine hours in typical work scenarios. TechSpot concludes that for students and general users seeking a stylish, functional, and budget-friendly convertible, the Envy x360 remains a top-tier choice.

The TechSpot review of the Acer Swift 3 (SF314-42) highlights the laptop's exceptional value, primarily driven by the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U processor, which provides top-tier performance for a budget-friendly price. Key strengths include an incredibly lightweight 1.2kg chassis and a battery that consistently lasts over 10 hours of normal use, making it ideal for productivity on the go. However, the device requires compromises in display and build quality, with a dim, low-color-accuracy panel (54% sRGB) and noticeable keyboard flex. Additional limitations include soldered 8GB RAM, no card reader, and a mediocre 720p webcam, cementing its status as a performance-first, rather than premium, machine. Ultimately, TechSpot concludes the Swift 3 is a compelling choice for users prioritizing raw, multi-core processing power over display quality or premium aesthetics. The combination of the 8-core processor and competitive price point makes it one of the best budget laptops for students or professionals. Copy

The PCWorld review highlights the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U as a transformative 7nm, 8-core processor for thin-and-light laptops, offering massive multi-core performance that challenges Intel’s higher-power 45W H-class chips. Key advantages include 23% faster Cinebench R20 scores compared to the Intel Core i7-1065G7 and improved integrated Radeon graphics. However, the chip lacks Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), resulting in weaker single-threaded performance compared to Intel competitors, and, in the tested Acer Swift 3, delivered only moderate battery life. Despite these trade-offs, the 4700U is touted for superior productivity and content creation, setting a new standard for performance in thin notebooks.

The NasiLemakTech review positions the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U as a budget-friendly, 7nm, 8-core processor that delivers high-performance, desktop-class multitasking, and excellent power efficiency, making it ideal for daily productivity. While it offers significant value over competing Intel chips, the lack of Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is a noted limitation, resulting in only 8 threads and reduced performance in heavy, professional workloads. The integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 GPU provides capable performance for eSports and light gaming, though its limited 512MB dedicated memory restricts performance in demanding modern titles.

Michael Larabel's Phoronix review of the Ryzen 7 4700U, tested in a 15W Lenovo IdeaPad 5, shows the 8-core Zen 2 "Renoir" APU delivering impressive performance-per-watt that consistently outperformed Intel's 10th Gen Core i7-1065G7. A major advantage is its high efficiency, allowing it to compete with 45W processors while operating at much lower power, and offering solid out-of-the-box compatibility with modern Linux distributions. However, early adopters faced a notable limitation requiring a manual upgrade to Linux kernel 5.6 or newer for proper graphics support, as the default Ubuntu 20.04 kernel (5.4) resulted in poor performance. Additionally, the 4700U lacks Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), limiting it to 8 threads compared to higher-end, similar-generation models. Copy

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8-core) and Ryzen 5 4500U (6-core) redefine ultraportable performance, delivering high-core counts within a 15W-25W envelope that often surpass Intel’s 10th-gen U-series chips. Key pros include 7nm efficiency, exceptional multi-threaded performance, and capable integrated Vega graphics for light gaming. However, the lack of SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) and potential OEM power throttling are noted drawbacks.

PCWorld’s review of the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U highlights a significant shift in the laptop market, where AMD's "budget" 8-core processor effectively outpaces Intel’s 10th-generation offerings in heavy workloads, outperforming the Core i7-1065G7 by roughly 23% in Cinebench R20 and 36% in HandBrake. While lacking Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the chip delivers 8-core, 8-thread performance that bridges the gap between thin-and-light laptops and traditional gaming notebooks. The review notes the 4700U ties Intel in single-threaded performance and its Radeon Vega graphics generally beat Intel's Iris Plus, offering a "no compromises" approach for users seeking both CPU power and solid integrated graphics. Key advantages, or pros, include exceptional multi-core power for content creation and high-end performance in affordable, thin-and-light devices. However, the review identifies limitations, with the Acer Swift 3 test unit yielding only 8 hours and 10 minutes of battery life. Additionally, the lack of SMT means it loses to Intel's 6-core/12-thread Core i7-10710U in certain professional, heavily threaded rendering tasks.
