AMD Ryzen 7 7730U appears on PassMark
To be honest, AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series mobile processor models are subdivided into very complicated models, which are divided into five series, 7045, 7040, 7035, 7030, and 7020, corresponding to different markets. These CPUs use 4 different processes and core architectures, and there are 3 types of GPUs. If you don’t know how AMD’s mobile processors are named, it is basically difficult to figure out which architecture it uses.
Although the Ryzen 7035/7030 series in the above table were not mentioned at the CES 2023 press conference, they have actually been released, and you can also check the specific models on AMD’s official website. Now the benchmark scores of AMD Ryzen 7 7730U also appeared on PassMark. Code-named Barcelo-R, this processor is an 8-core Zen 3 architecture product with a boost clock of 4.5GHz, a 16MB L3 cache, and a Vega 8-core iGPU. In essence, it is the renaming of Ryzen 7 5825U, which will be used in some thin and light notebooks and even some game consoles.
AMD Ryzen 7 7730U’s multi-threaded score in PassMark is 19034, and its single-threaded score is 3186. Compared with Ryzen 7 5825U, its single-threaded performance has increased by 4%, and its multi-threaded performance has increased by 3.2%. In fact, the clock and L3 cache of the two processors are exactly the same. However, AMD may have made minor changes to the voltage and frequency curves, resulting in performance improvements. Of course, it does not rule out the impact of heat dissipation, and there are only two test samples for Ryzen 7 7730U, so it may bring a larger test error.
