The first tests confirm this
The first test results of AMD Ryzen 9 8940H, Ryzen 7 8840HS and Ryzen 5 8640HS mobile processors, which will be released early next year, have appeared on the Internet.
New products score 2200-2400 points in single-threaded mode, and in multi-threaded mode the results in the same order are about 13,100, 11,550 and 10,470 points.
It is also important to note the parameters, which seem to be completely identical to those of the corresponding models of the current generation. That is, even the frequencies are not increased. And it is still unclear how the mobile Ryzen 8000H/HS will generally differ from the Ryzen 7000H/HS, since the number of cores, architecture and iGPU will also remain unchanged.
Yes, Intel also doesn’t have any significant changes as part of Raptor Lake Refresh, but they at least increased the frequencies a little, and for Core i7 models they even increased the number of cores. AMD, apparently, will simply re-release the Ryzen 7000H/HS under new names. This will probably also apply to the Ryzen 8000U. However, new mobile APUs are also waiting for us next year, and one of the lines will offer an incredibly powerful graphics core that can compete with discrete video cards that are not at all the most budget class.
