AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir spotted, 8c/16t and Vega'ish Integrated GPU
If you have read our Ryzen 3100 and 3300X reviews, you will have noticed that one of my arguments was that these procs likely would have been better off if they'd had an IGP (integrated graphics processor). In an effort to save on that final bill/costs.
ZEN2 + something Vega integrated could be something sweet, and guess what, an 8-core / 16-threads part called Ryzen 7 4700G has been spotted, by Rogame, with integrated Radeon graphics. The source believes the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G will likely get 8 compute units (CUs) and possibly feature the same GPU clock rate as the Ryzen 9 4900HS: 1750 MHz. It's that good old Ashes of the Singularity database.
This "Renoir" based product shares design elements of Vega, but would hold the display- and multimedia core logic of Navi. With eight CUs each holding 64 shader processors you'd be looking at 512 Shader processors. The CPU would feature 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache (4 MB per CCX).
An interesting spot for sure. However, I am inclined to say that the 4-core parts need an IGP to save on build cost, with more expensive 8-core products people would buy a dedicated graphics card anyway. It's a leak that cannot be proven reliable, ergo take this with a grain of salt.

Very interesting AMD very interesting. But i agree with @sverek that 8c/16 is overkill because the IGPU might be too weak to keep up with the CPU and where a dedicated GPU is required or for those businesses who might need the CPU horsepower and just need the IGPU as a display adapter.

The IGP is there for when your dedicated GPU craps out. Also for troubleshooting. Finally AMD, including IGP in a proper CPU is a plus.

Well, Intel is finally offering its CPU without iGPU in it (10700kf).
While its handy to have iGPU for backup and debugging, most diy consumers have older backup dGPU.
Still, I love to have an option to pay less or more for iGPU instead of forced to have one.

Is this APU related to the ones from the new consoles?

Oh well, 8c/16t is totally overkill for iGPU. Might be good for some business applications where CPU power is much more required that GPU.
But totally overkill for budget gaming.
4c/8t Zen2 + Vega in 1 package would be more attractive. Something like 4400G.
