Back in May, AMD mentioned the Ryzen Mobile APUs, which were previously known by the codename Raven Ridge. The launch of these chips is expected to take place somewhen in the second half of this year and more details are finally starting to surface including benchmarks scores. According to this first scores, the performance of the upcoming APUs is pretty impressive.


According to the Geekbench database, the upcoming Ryzen 5 2500U at stock frequencies hits 9'421 points in the multi-core and 3'561 points in the single-core routine, while the old A12-9800 with stock frequencies is able to achieve 6'388 points running Geekbench multi-core and 2'607 points running the single-core benchmark. In other words the Ryzen 5 2500U is 50% faster in multi-core and 35% faster in single-core benchmark.

According to the information in the Geekbench database, the Raven Ridge APU packs a base clock of 2.00 GHz which looks pretty low and could be inaccurate. Apart from that there is 4MB of L3 cache, which translates into 1MB per core.

At this time there aren't many details available on the Vega-based IGP. Nevertheless it’s supposed to use fast dual channel memory or even HBM modules. Apart from that the number of stream processors is also unknown so far. According to latest rumors, there should be up to 1024 SPs.
