APU AMD Ryzen-based is the 8th generation APU which became the successor to Bristol Ridge APU released in 2016 ago. AMD claims, Ryzen and Vega-based APU can have a much faster graphics performance up to 128 percent compared to the existing graphics chip at Bristol Ridge. In addition, power consumption is also more efficient to 58 percent. Ryzen CPU used in this APU using the latest Zen architecture that has a faster performance but more efficient power consumption.
This time, AMD released the first 2 APUs powered by Ryzen and Vega, namely Ryzen 7 2700U, and Ryzen 5 2500U. Both have 4 core processors with 8 threads. The U in the back indicates that the 2 APUs are intended for ultralight or thin-bodied laptops.
Ryzen 7 2700U has a base speed of 2.2GHz and boost speed up to 3.8GHz. Then, Ryzen 7 2700U has a Vega graphics chip with 10 compute units. While Ryzen 5 2500U is positioned slightly below it. APU has a base speed of 2.0GHz with boost speed up to 3.6 GHz. The Vega graphics chip installed in APU has 8 compute units. Both APUs have a power consumption of 15watt which can also be set to make it more efficient in consuming batteries with AMD SenseMi technology.
Vega graphics card on APU Ryzen is also claimed to be able to produce good performance to play games on the laptop. AMD says, this APU can run various games such as Quake, Overwatch, and League of Legends with frame-rate high enough and smooth. In fact, testing 3DMark Time Spy states that laptops with APU Ryzen 7 2700U able to beat a laptop powered by Intel Core i7 7500U with Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card.
A number of laptop manufacturers were ready to launch a new laptop that uses APU Ryzen 7 2700U and Ryzen 5 2500U. In some time to come, the laptop market will be increasingly crowded with the presence of a laptop that is powered by APU Ryzen this.
