What are the best Ryzen 7 4800H/4800HS laptops set to arrive? (PROACTIVE)edit
The folks over at UltraBook Review recently shared a complete list of all laptops currently known to feature AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800H and Ryzen 7 4800HS processors. We’ll get to that list shortly but first, a little bit about these two processors. As part of AMD’s Ryzen 4000 APU lineup, the Ryzen 7 4800H and 4800HS are premium-spec eight-core sixteen thread chips, with Vega 7 iGPUs. They deliver stellar performance: the 45W TDP on the 4800H and the 35W TDP on the voltage-binned 4800HS, mean that both are able to deliver sustained performance that’s not far off the mark from the desktop Ryzen 7 3700X.
