ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and Vivobook Go 15 OLED revealed with AMD Ryzen 7000 Mendocino APUs

ASUS has reissued the Vivobook Go series, which it previously offered with Intel Jasper Lake processors. Now, the Vivobook Go series will soon be available with Ryzen Mendocino APUs, which AMD offers under its Ryzen 7000 moniker. For reference, Mendocino APUs combine Zen 2 cores with RDNA 2 iGPUs on a 6 nm manufacturing process.

Currently, ASUS offers both models with the Athlon Gold 7220U, Ryzen 3 7320U or Ryzen 5 7520U, dual-core, quad-core and quad-core APUs, respectively. All have 15 W TDPs too, as well as the Radeon 610M, simultaneous multithreading (SMT) and supports LPDRR5 RAM. It is worth noting that the Ryzen 5 7520U is only nominally more powerful than the Ryzen 5 7520U, with a 400 MHz higher base and 200 MHz higher boost clocks. In short, neither will be as powerful as older Ryzen APUs like the Ryzen 5 6600U, which contains more cores, a newer CPU architecture and a more capable iGPU.
