Best single core scores for Ryzen 2 on Passmark:

* 3800X (105W desktop) scores 2855

* 4900H (45W mobile) scores 2707 or 95% of 3800X

* 4750U (15W mobile) scores 2596 or 91% of 3800X

That's pretty good. For geekbench we see:

* 3800XT = 1357 (100%)

* 4800H = 1094 (~80%)

* 4800U = 1033 (~76%)

I would expect a 5800U to score at best around 1500, but realistically closer to 1300-1450. That's still behind the M1, but pretty darn close for being behind a node (and will still probably be faster for applications that would require x86 translation).

They are not even of same series. 3700U(fastest Ryzen 3000 15W processor) single core is 57.5% of 3700X(not the fastest Ryzen 3000 desktop).

AMD's naming scheme has mislead you.

Renoir is 7nm Zen 2 aka the 4000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/renoir

Matisse is also 7nm Zen 2 aka the desktop 3000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/Matisse

Picasso is 12nm Zen+ aka the mobile 3000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/picasso
