Early benchmarks for AMD’s upcoming Raven Ridge APUs, which feature the Zen CPU and Vega GPU microarchitectures, have surfaced at Geekbench: a Ryzen 5 2500U APU managed a score of 3,625 points in the single-core portion of the benchmark, and 9,723 points in the multi-core portion. Compared to a current generation A12-9800B, which is AMD’s fastest mobile Bristol Ridge APU, the new Raven Ridge is around 90 percent faster in Geekbench’s multi-core test (9,723 versus 5,115) and about 56 percent faster in single-core performance (3,625 versus 2,315).



Our standard disclaimer when it comes to these sorts of things applies—this is just a single benchmark, and partially for that reason, we have to be careful not to draw any premature conclusions. That said, the scores on display are in line with what AMD has been promising. AMD previously said Raven Ridge would deliver a 50 percent bump in CPU performance and 40 percent jump in GPU performance, while consuming 50 less power, compared to its 7th generation APU.
