Still it is positioned in the entry level (compared to dedicated graphics cards) and only suited for low demanding games. The performance is clearly faster than the old RX Vega 8 thanks to the higher clock speed and faster main memory (if used). More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture. The Vega architecture offers some improvements over the Polaris generation and now supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. Compared to the similar Radeon RX Vega 8 in the Raven Ridge generation (Ryzen 2000 Mobile), the GPU is clocked significantly higher (1.750 versus 1.100 MHz Boost, +59%). Tested it on my main computer, where it works perfectly and I can boot into Ubuntu.

I have downloaded the most recent ISO of Ubuntu and flashed it onto my usb drive. It is used for the Ryzen 7 APUs of the Renoir generation (Ryzen 4000 Mobile), which were announced in early 2020. It is a Lenovo Ideapad 330s-15ARR with a Ryzen 2500U APU with Vega 8 Graphics, 12GB of RAM, and a 128GB M.2 NVMe boot SSD. It is used for the Ryzen 5 APUs, which were launched in the end of 2017. Comparison between AMD Radeon Vega 8 (Picasso) and Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 with the specifications of the graphics cards, the number of execution units. The GPU should benefit from fast dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM (contrary to DDR4-2133 single-channel, which is also possible). The AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 is an integrated GPU for notebooks.

The performance depends on the configured TDP (12-25 W at launch), the clocks, the cooling, and the memory configuration). The GPU is based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 8 CUs (= 512 of the 704 shaders) clocked at up to 1.750 MHz (Ryzen 7 4800U). It is used for the Ryzen 7 APUs of the Renoir generation (Ryzen 4000 Mobile), which were announced in early 2020. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 is an integrated GPU for notebooks.
