Performance Context & Comparison with Ryzen 3 3300U

The Ryzen 7 3700U was the flagship 15W APU of its generation (Picasso), offering the best balance of CPU and GPU performance in the U-series lineup.

• CPU vs. 3300U: The key upgrade is Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), making it a 4-core/8-thread processor. This results in a significant performance lift (typically 30-50%) in multi-threaded applications like video editing, rendering, compression, and heavy multitasking.

• GPU vs. 3300U: The integrated Radeon RX Vega 10 is substantially more powerful than the Vega 6 in the 3300U, with 66% more stream processors (640 vs. 384). This enables smoother gameplay at higher settings in esports titles and better performance in creative applications that leverage GPU acceleration.

• Memory Dependency: Its performance, especially GPU performance, remains highly dependent on being paired with dual-channel, high-frequency RAM.
