AMD Ryzen 3 7440U
On the website Geekbench, the first benchmarks of AMD’s sole Zen 4 quad-core processor, the Ryzen 3 7440U “Phoenix” APU, have been published.
Geekbench has performed benchmarking on AMD’s Ryzen 3 7440U, which is the only Zen 4 and Phoenix Quad-Core APU currently available.
Within the Ryzen 7040 stack, the AMD Ryzen 7 7440U is the Phoenix APU with the lowest entry-level price, and it is also the only quad-core Zen 4 chip that has been introduced up to this point. At the now, quad-cores are only available on the mobility lineup; however, this may change with the impending Ryzen 7000G APUs for AM5 desktops, which may provide a quad-core processor for the budget class. On the desktop front, the least number of cores and threads you can obtain is six, thus quad-cores are presently only available on the mobility roster.
The AMD Ryzen 3 7440U “Phoenix” APU has 4 Zen 4 cores, 8 threads, a base speed of 3.0 GHz, and a boost clock of up to 4.7 GHz. It also has a base rate of 3.0 GHz. Anyway, moving on to the specifications. The chip is rated to run at 28W and features 4 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache, with variable TDPs ranging from 15 to 30 W.
In addition to it, the APU has a Radeon 740M iGPU that operates at a clock speed of 2.5 GHz and is based on the RDNA 3 graphics architecture. It has 4 Compute Units. The central processing unit also makes use of the brand new Phoenix2 die, which is configured in a hybrid Zen 4 and Zen 4C fashion.
In terms of performance, the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U “Phoenix” APU received a score of 2323 points in the single-core portion of Geekbench 6 and a score of 6571 points in the multi-core portion of the benchmark.
The tests were run on a SolidRun Bedrock R7000 Mini PC, which had a design that required no active cooling, support for DDR5 SO-DIMM memory (which was increased to 16 GB for the sake of the tests), and a comprehensive set of IO capabilities. The fact that all Zen 4 cores of the CPU were able to run at their maximum clock speed of 4.7 GHz indicates that the passive cooling solution performed a good job of accomplishing its intended purpose.
AMD Ryzen 3 7440U support
You can see that the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U “Phoenix” APU sits comfortably ahead of all other quad-core processors in the single-threaded benchmarks by looking at the results of the benchmarks shown above. This is because Zen 4’s IPC uplift and clock speed increases.
The Intel Raptor Lake and Alder Lake processors now hold the lead in the multi-core market, which may be attributed to their larger thermal design power (TDP) and cache levels; nevertheless, the 7440U is an extremely power-efficient CPU, consuming just 28 watts of power. It is unknown whether AMD would release any more types of APUs for AM5 other than 8-core and 6-core processors; nevertheless, the Zen 4 Quad-Core APU for desktops is expected to become the industry’s fastest 4-core CPU.
