AMD Ryzen 5 220
The Ryzen 5 220 is a lower-mid-range laptop chip that saw the light of day in early 2025. This Hawk Point family processor isn't actually a new processor; instead, it's a rebadged Ryzen 5 8540U (itself a rebadged Ryzen 5 7545U) with few differences between them to report, like packaging and socket. As such, the 220 has two Zen 4 cores and four Zen 4c cores working together under the same roof.
The six cores run at 3.0 GHz to 4.9 GHz and are all SMT-enabled for 12 processing threads in total. There is no Ryzen AI NPU support here, and the Radeon 740M integrated graphics adapter is not a powero.
Architecture and Features
Hawk Point family chips are powered by the Zen 4 architecture, much like Phoenix and Dragon Range family chips are. Unlike Zen 3, Zen 4 features AVX512 support.
Elswehere, the R5 220 has a 16-MB L3 cache and a very fast DDR5-5600 / LPDDR5x-7500 memory controller. The processor has full USB 4 support and thus Thunderbolt is supported as well. Its fourteen PCIe 4 lanes are more than sufficient for connecting a couple of speedy NVMe SSDs and a discrete graphics card.
Like most laptop processors sold today, the Ryzen 5 is not overclockable and neither will you be able to replace it with a faster processor as it gets soldered down for good (FP8 socket interface).
Performance
Due to the same specs as the old Ryzen 5 8540U and Ryzen 5 7545U, the performance is identical to these two older chips and in the mid-range of laptop chips.
Graphics
The Radeon 740M has 4 CUs (256 shaders) at its disposal that run at up to 2,800 MHz. While not fast enough for gaming in 2025, it will let you use up to 4 monitors with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p, and is capable of HW-decoding and HW-encoding several key video codecs - AVC, HEVC and AV1.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 5 series APU has a long-term power limit (default TDP) of 28 W that laptop makers are allowed to change to anything between 15 W and 30 W. Either way, an active cooling solution is a must for any system powered by this chip.
The R5 220 is built with a 4 nm TSMC process for good, as of late 2025, energy efficiency.
