Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 review - The inexpensive multimedia laptop with a Ryzen 7000
AMD Ryzen 5 7530U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 16.00" | 1.8 kg
The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is a processor for thin and light laptops based on the Cezanne generation. It is part of the second "Barcelo" refresh in early 2023 and offers 200 MHz higher boost clock for the CPU cores compared to the old Ryzen 5 5625U (but a slower base clock speed). The R5 7530U integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The cores are clocked at 2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.5 GHz (single core boost) and support SMT for a total of 12 threads. The chip is manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC.
Performance
The average 7530U in our database is in the same league as the Ryzen 5 5625U, Ryzen 7 4800U, Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U, Core i5-1335U, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.
Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 37 W, the VivoBook 15X OLED M3504YA is among the fastest laptops built around the 7530U that we know of. It can be roughly 40% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.
In addition to the six CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 7 (now only called Radeon Graphics) integrated graphics card with 7 CUs at up to 2 GHz. The dual channel memory controller supports DDR4-3200 and energy efficient LPDDR4-4266 RAM. Furthermore, 16 MB level 3 cache (up from 8 MB at the 4800U) can be found on the chip.
Power consumption
This Ryzen has a default TDP of 15 W (also known as the Power Limit 1).
