AMD will be launching two new CPU lineups this month, the Ryzen 3000XT ‘Matisse Refresh’ series will be introduced today while Ryzen 4000 ‘Renoir’ series will be released in a few weeks. Our own sources have confirmed the official launch date for the new APUs along with details on how AMD is going to market its next-generation APU lineup.
AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir Desktop APUs Launching on 21st July, Will Feature Three PRO Variants In 65W & 35W Flavors
The AMD Ryzen 4000 Desktop APUs, codenamed Renoir, are coming to the AM4 socket. The latest APUs will house the Zen 2 CPU and Vega GPU architecture on the same die and both cores will be fabricated on the 7nm process node. Compared to AMD’s Ryzen 3000 Matisse CPUs, Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs feature a monolithic design, and one of the key advantages of having everything on-board the same die will be better latency as has been seen in various leaked benchmarks. We’ve also seen that the Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs are really good overclockers with speeds pushing way beyond what Matisse Ryzen 3000 can achieve.

That’s not it, the APUs will also make use of a better architecture design compared to Matisse. We have seen how the mobility parts are slightly more efficient than Matisse CPUs and since Ryzen 4000 APUs on AM4 platform essentially utilize the same dies as the mobility SKUs, we are going to see similar gains. Other improvements come from a better memory controller which will support much higher DDR4 frequencies than Matisse CPUs and we can also expect the CPUs to run as per their advertised boost clocks.
The one downside for not utilizing a chiplet design will be a reduced cache. The Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G comes with 8 MB of L3 cache (4 MB per CCX). For comparison, the Ryzen 7 3800X with 8 cores and 16 threads comes with 32 MB L3 cache (16 MB per CCX). The maximum cache you can get on APUs is 12 MB (L2+L3) while Matisse CPUs with 8 cores feature a maximum 36 MB of cache (L2+L3). So that’s some of the main differences you can expect from the Ryzen 4000 Renoir desktop APUs. As for the launch date, we have the details mentioned below.
AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir AM4 lineup will be launching on the 21st of July. We are all excited to get our hands on these new APUs but sadly, AMD is prioritizing its APUs to System Integrator and the OEM market. The reason AMD wants to push APUs to the SI market is because they can affect the sales of Ryzen 3000 Matisse APUs which offer higher margins compared to the Ryzen 4000 series APUs. We have seen retailers list down several PRO variants and about that, we also confirmed that AMD Ryzen PRO 4000 series has replaced the standard Ryzen 4000 Renoir SKUs. Both PRO & non-PRO variants are virtually the same but AMD has decided to go with PRO series branding officially.
