AMD Ryzen 7 3700U rears its head in first benchmarks, throws up the Zen+ or Zen 2 conundrum

[Redaktion]

References to a new AMD APU, the Ryzen 7 3700U, has been spotted online leading to speculation as to whether this could be a Zen+ or a Zen 2 part. The Ryzen 7 3700U sports the same clocks and core counts as the Ryzen 7 2700U and most of the evidence so far suggests that this could be the Zen+ APU as the previous 2000U series were based on Zen.

Hopefully they've fixed 2700U's horrible idle power consumption.

Battery life on all models from all brands is horrible compared to their equivalent Intel model.

The leak is at least inaccurate if not entirely wrong (intentional or otherwise). The AMD F17 platform is the X399 chipset.
