- AMD Ryzen 5 5625U (6 cores/12 threads, up to 4.3GHz, 16MB cache)
- AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (8 cores/16 threads, up to 4.5GHz, 16MB cache)
- AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (6 cores/12 threads, up to 4.3GHz, 16MB cache)
- AMD Ryzen 7 7730U (8 cores/16 threads, up to 4.5GHz, 16MB cache)
All four CPUs are designed for light to moderately general productivity tasks, like text browsing, web browsing, spreadsheets, and video playback. The Ryzen 5 7530U and Ryzen 7 7730U are essentially refreshed versions of the Ryzen 5 5625U and the Ryzen 7 5825U with faster base clock speeds. Clock speed bumps usually don’t result in a significant performance boost, so choose the CPU according to the number of cores. A higher core count will result in a smoother experience, especially when running multi-threaded applications or multitasking.
