Low power Ryzen 5 7640U laptop processor spotted on Geekbench

AMD Ryzen 5 7640U low power laptop processor Recently spotted on Geekbench. This processor was never officially announced by AMD, but we know it exists and is coming. The R5 7640U processor was first seen in AMD’s advertising banners, even before the Zen 4 desktop processors were officially announced. AMD used the model code of this processor to show its new naming pattern. The number 4 means the architecture generation (Zen 4) and the letter U means low consumption of this processor.

Ryzen 5 7640U processor on Geekbench

Now the Ryzen 5 7640U processor has been spotted on Geekbench. This processor was tested on an AMD test motherboard called “Mayan-PHX” and not a laptop. From this point of view, we can conclude that the 7040U laptop processors are not yet ready for release and AMD is still testing them on its own test platforms.

As the specs show, the Ryzen 5 7640U is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base frequency of 3.5GHz and a boost frequency of 4.89GHz. In addition, this processor is also equipped with Radeon 760M internal graphics. With this account, we see a lower frequency and thermal power in this processor than the R5 7640H/HS processor.

A quick comparison between this processor and the Ryzen 5 6600U processor from the previous generation shows us that the new processor performs at least 27% better in the single-core test and at least 22% better in the multi-core test. We used the adverb “minimum” because we compared the initial score of the R5 7640U to the highest score of the R5 6600U. The 6600U’s average scores are lower than this, and the 7640U’s performance will improve by the time it’s released.

AMD has not yet officially confirmed the specifications of low-power Phoenix-U processors, but we expect that at least one 8-core processor will be released from this series. The Red Team’s H/HS Phoenix series CPUs are heavy for many handhelds, and a low-power APU with RDNA 3 onboard graphics could be a very attractive option for next-gen handhelds.
