We say “seemingly” because you just never know with these things. Assuming the listing is accurate, however, it gives us an idea of how this particular “Renoir” APU compares to Intel’s lineup, at least in this single benchmark. The listing also outlines a few specifications for the Ryzen 3 Pro 4300U chip.

It’s not clear if this is an engineering sample or finalized silicon. If it is the former, clockspeeds and the resulting performance could end up different than what is shown (usually for the better, though not necessarily). As things stand, however, this is a decent showing for the Ryzen 3 Pro 4300U and AMD’s transition to 7 nanometers in mobile (finally!).

The Core i7-8565U is a Whisky Lake chip built on Intel’s 14nm node. It has the same number of cores and threads as the Ryzen 3 Pro 4300U, but with a 1.8GHz base clock and 4.6GHz max turbo frequency, along with 8MB of L3 cache.
We’re not putting too much stock into all this, and instead will wait until we have an opportunity to spends some hands-on time with AMD’s new silicon. That said, AMD is claiming big gains over the previous generation APUs—twice the performance per watt, 5X faster state switching, and significantly improved GPU performance.
The U-series is aimed at ultrathin laptops and consists of the Ryzen 7 4800U (8 cores / 16 threads, 1.8GHz to 4.2GHz, 12MB cache, 15W TDP), Ryzen 7 4700U (8 cores / 8 threads, 2GHz to 4.1GHz, 12MB cache, 15W TDP), Ryzen 5 4600U (6 cores / 12 threads, 2.1GHz to 4GHz, 11MB cache, 15W TDP), Ryhzen 5 4500U (6 cores / 6 threads, 2.3GHz to 4GHz, 11MB cache, 15W TDP), and Ryzen 3 4300U (4 cores / 4 threads, 2.7GHz to 3.7GHz, 6MB cache, 15W TDP).
