AMD Ryzen AI 5 330

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 is a mid-range mobile processor from the Krakan Point 2 family. The APU integrates 4 CPU cores (1x Zen 5 with up to 4.5 GHz and 3x Zen 5c with less cache and up to 3.4 GHz). Beware, the information is still based on rumors and leaks as the CPU is still unannounced at the time of writing in July 2025.

Architecture and features

The Krackan Point family APUs are powered by Zen 5 and Zen 5c microarchitecture cores located in separate clusters, the latter being a slightly slower, smaller and more energy efficient version of the former. One of the differences between Zen 5 and Zen 5c is the size of the cache, the Zen 5 cores have larger caches available.

However, the mobile Zen 5 implementation is reportedly (ChipsAndCheese) is closer to desktop Zen 4 than desktop Zen 5 due to the different cache sizes, large differences in AVX-512 throughput and other factors.

Elsewhere, the Ryzen AI 5 chip supports DDR5-5600 and LPDDR5x-8000 RAM, giving system designers a choice between lower latency and higher throughput. The chip is natively compatible with USB 4 (and therefore Thunderbolt). It has PCIe 4.0 support for a throughput of 1.9 GB/s per lane, just like its 8000 series predecessors. The integrated XDNA 2 NPU, which is much more complex than the first generation XDNA, delivers up to 50 INT8 TOPS for accelerating various AI workloads.

As usual with laptop CPUs, the Ryzen 5 AI chip cannot be replaced by the user as it is soldered.

Performance

Due to the Zen 5 architecture and the high clock rates, the CPU performance should be above the old Ryzen 3 7440U should be higher.

Graphics

The Radeon 820M is a slimmed-down version of the 840M with only 2 CUs up to 2.8 GHz. The iGPU probably uses the new RDNA 3.5 architecture.

The 4 nm TSMC process with which these CPUs are manufactured ensures above-average energy efficiency.

The information is currently still based on leaks and rumors, such as the Geekbench leak.
