Ryzen 7000 with RDNA3: First benchmarks of the integrated graphics sighted

Party crasher AMD: Presentation date of the RDNA 3 graphics cards is known


from Valentin Sattler
In China, benchmark results of a Ryzen APU with RDNA3 graphics have appeared for the first time. Specifically, a Ryzen 9 7940HS was able to prove itself in 3DMark Time Spy.

With earlier graphics architectures such as Vega or RDNA2, it sometimes took a very long time before they were also used in APUs. It’s different with AMD’s new RDNA3 architecture: After the RX 7000 graphics cards were released in November, the company announced the first corresponding APUs in January. Specifically, the “Phoenix” APUs from the Ryzen 7040 series should combine Zen 4 cores with an RDNA3 GPU.

First performance details

So far, the corresponding processors have not yet appeared, and there is no exact release date yet, but the corresponding notebooks are said to be on the market by March at the latest. Then official tests should also appear that classify the performance advantages of Zen 4 and RDNA3. There is already a rough foretaste: Screenshots, the first benchmarks, have been published on the Chinese social media website Bilibili with a Ryzen 9 7940HS should show. It was said to have two 16 GB DDR5-5600 RAM modules available, which means that the memory bandwidth, which is particularly important for the GPU, was fully utilized.

In this configuration, the APU was tested once with a 25 W TDP and once with a 54 W TDP. In 3DMark Time Spy, the 768 RDNA3 shaders reportedly scored 2486 and 2791 points, respectively, while the eight Zen 4 cores scored 8448 and 11343 points, respectively. This would make AMD’s fastest notebook APU significantly faster than a Ryzen 9 6900HX, whose GPU achieves a maximum of 2,437 points according to Videocardz. However, the jump is not gigantic: In the graphics rating, it would be an advantage of 14.5 percent for the Ryzen 9 7940HS, whereas the CPU could lead by 13.2 percent.

As usual, such preliminary results should not be overstated. After all, a single benchmark result is only conditionally meaningful. In addition, many factors such as cooling, the use of a potential pre-series model and perhaps unfinished drivers can hardly be estimated, and in practice, in addition to performance, efficiency is particularly important. For a more precise classification of AMD’s new Phoenix APUs with RDNA3 graphics, you have to wait for further, more detailed tests.
