Unannounced AMD APU spotted in benchmark database

AMD's entry level Athlon series hasn't made much noise in the desktop space for a while now, but that could soon change, as an unannounced Athlon Gold Pro 4150GE APU has appeared in a benchmark database this week. 

The CPU-Z entry found by @TUM_APISAK shows that the Athlon Gold PRO 4150GE is a Renoir-based APU based on the 7nm process node (Zen2 or Zen3). This APU was installed on a system running Windows 10, and equipped with an ASRock A520M, 24GB of DDR4-3200 memory and an AMD RX 580 graphics card.

According to the entry, the AMD Athlon Gold Pro 4150GE is a 4C/4T processor operating at up to 3800MHz, featuring 4MB of L3 cache and a Vega iGPU. This chip scored 460 points in the single-core test, matching the Intel Core i5-6600K. As for multi-performance, it scored 1,785 points, which is about the same as an i3-8350K.

Besides the entry, @ExecuFix (via Tom's Hardware) shared more proof of the processor's existence with a photo of a sample. We don't know how much this APU will cost or when it will be available for purchase, but considering that there are already a few in the wild, it may not take long.

KitGuru says: Do you think the AMD Athlon Gold Pro 4150GE APU would be a good CPU for a budget system? How would it stand against Intel's lower-end alternatives?
