Pretty good laptop CPU. Runs less hotter than the Zen2 5500U, performs a little bit better. I believe there was a huge difference made in the iGPU though, you could run CS:GO on it at like 200 fps (the game IS cpu-bound but this is saying something) with few stutters IF the laptop/AIO that it is in has dual channel RAM @3000+ mHz. This CPU is getting a little bit dated though considering the launches of Intel's Alder Lake and some 11th gen laptop CPUs which tend to hunger less for good memory and have a nearly as capable iGPU. Ignoring Intel for now, it is a good CPU for going on the web and playing some light games - or games that have a GTX 1050 in their minimum requirements. You could even do some rendering with its core count and cache if your laptop doesn't go up to 92C, unfortunately that is a gaurantee on today's laptops. [Apr '22Waaaaaal]
Ryzen 4000 Mobile CPUs offer benchmark busting multi-core performance on the go, but marketing hype aside, it’s unclear how this will translate to real world performance. Sixteen threads are great for beating benchmarks including UserBenchmark 64-core, Cinebench, Blender-CPU and Handbrake-CPU but gamers need performance in the games that they actually play. At launch, the top GPU available in a 4000 series laptop is the RTX 2060. Since the GPU is largely responsible for overall gaming performance, the Ryzen 4000 laptops will offer mid tier gaming performance at best. Pairing stronger GPUs would be suboptimal because the Ryzen gaming bottleneck becomes increasingly severe with more powerful GPUs. Streamers and media producers, who may have historically benefited from high core counts, are better off using the GPU (NVENC or QuickSync) for encoding. Leading media creation applications including both DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro are largely GPU bound. With low power consumption and high core counts, the 4000 range, on paper at least, is a perfect fit for the datacenter. AMD should focus on delivering a platform that offers performance where end users actually need it rather than targeting inexperienced gamers with the same old "moar cores" mantra. From a gamer’s perspective, the best feature of the 4000 series laptops is the absence of the equally hyped 5000 series GPUs. Prospective gaming laptop buyers will find lower latency (and therefore better gaming) CPUs combined with faster GPUs at similar price points. [Jun '20CPUPro]
