Not worthy of the name: HP OmniBook 3 suffers from sluggish AMD chip

Suffers from a weak AMD processor: HP OmniBook 3 17

AMD recently released the Ryzen 5 40, a CPU based on the aging Zen 2 architecture. We find out what this means for performance in 2026 via the HP OmniBook 3.

Review Snippet

AMD definitely didn't do itself any favors with the Ryzen 5 40. While notebooks that house the CPU are available at attractive prices, its performance leaves much to be desired. Starting with the CPU, which only performs on par with the older Ryzen 5 7520U and stands no chance against, for example, the Ryzen AI 5 330 or 430, or the Core Ultra 7 255U.

However, the integrated GPU, the Radeon 610M, fares even worse. As our measurements and benchmarks show, the GPU is incapable of running modern games smoothly, even at minimum detail settings. Even a (rather sluggish) Radeon 820M is often significantly faster. Only older or less demanding titles like Dota 2 still run smoothly to some extent.

Overall, the OmniBook 3, which we used to test the Ryzen 5 40, doesn't quite live up to its name, as the term "Omni" suggests suitability for all kinds of applications. You can find more information in review of the 17-inch model.

I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
