A processor from the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5700U series “Renoir Refresh” APU has leaked online on Twitter. The APU was spotted within the Ashes of The Singularity benchmark where it was tested on the 1080p Low preset. The APU will be part of the upcoming Renoir Refresh family has leaked out by TUM_APISAK.
The leaked APU is the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U which has 8 cores and 16 threads and is based on the Zen 2 architecture. By the looks of it, it seems to be an early engineering sample with no proper drivers for it yet. The Ryzen 5000 APU series is currently codenamed as “Renoir Refresh / Lucienne” and is said to be based on the Zen 2 architecture instead of the new Zen 3.

The leaked benchmark shows us some interesting things. One of them is that the Ryzen 7 5700U APU that was used in the benchmark packs the Radeon Vega graphics in a slightly enhanced variation. It is also the first time that an AMD Ryzen 5000 series APU has appeared in a public benchmark with the complete naming scheme.
The Ryzen 7 5700 U APU scored 1600 points in the Ashes of Singularity benchmark which is a 33.3% performance improvement over the Ryzen 7 4800U. That is quite impressive considering that this chip is just a refreshed and enhanced version of the Ryzen 4000 Renoir APU lineup. We can expect even higher performance from the Ryzen 7 5800U which will be based on the Cezanne design.
The Cezanne based chips will would feature the brand-new Zen 3 cores. According to Twitter user MebiuW, the Ryzen 5000 series APUs will come in two architectures, one will be featured under the Cezanne chip design and the other under the Lucienne chip design. There’s going to be a big difference in performance in both lines of chips as one will feature AMD’s Zen 2 core architecture and the other would feature the brand-new Zen 3 cores.
