AMD has faster Ryzen 9 4900U 15W TDP part

Twitter user TUM_APISAK noticed AMD is working on a Ryzen 9 4900U. TechPowerUp writes this upcoming laptop chip is a 15W TDP model that will compete against the Intel Core i7-10710U and Core i7-1065G7. The 4900U is an eight-core model with sixteen threads.

Performance-wise, there are some big processor performance gains versus the 4800U:

Lenovo had a notebook featuring this part listed earlier this year. It is configured with an 8-core/16-thread CPU clocked at 1.80 GHz nominal, with up to 4.30 GHz boost, which may seem like a minor speed bump, until you compare its User Benchmark scores with those of the 4800U. Apparently, the 4900U has some boost algorithm secret sauce that makes it a double-digit percentage faster than the 4800U in multi-threaded tests (possibly better spread of boost clocks across multiple cores). The iGPU appears unchanged, with 8 "Vega" compute units (512 stream processors), and up to 1750 MHz engine clocks.
