AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS vs AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS vs AMD Ryzen 7 7735U

AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based on the Cezanne generation. The R5 5600H integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3 GHz (guaranteed base clock) to 4.2 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (12 threads). The chip is manufactured in the modern 7 nm process at TSMC. Compared to the 5600H (up to 52 W), the 5600HS is configured to a TDP of 35W.

The new Zen 3 microarchitecture offers a significantly higher IPC (instructions per clock) compared to Zen 2. For desktop processors AMD claims 19 percent on average and in applications reviews showed around 12% gains at the same clock speed.

With the increased clock speed and IPC improvements thanks to Zen 3, the Ryzen 5 5600H should be clearly faster than the lower clocked Ryzen 7 4600H.

In addition to the six CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 6  integrated graphics card with 6 CUs and up to 1800 MHz. The dual channel memory controller supports DDR4-3200 and energy efficient LPDDR4-4266 RAM. Furthermore, 16 MB level 3 cache can be found on the chip.

The TDP of the APU is specified at 35 Watt and therefore also suited for thin gaming laptops.

AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS

The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based of the Rembrandt Refresh generation. The R5 7535HS integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.3 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.55 GHz (boost) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (12 threads). The 7535HS is a refresh of the old Ryzen 5 6600HS / 6600H with 50 MHz higher boost clock speed.

The Zen 3+ architecture is a refresh of Zen 3 and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip itself however, offers some modern features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4 and DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s.

The processor performance is very similar to the Ryzen 5 6600HS (35 Watt TDP) or Ryzen 5 6600H (55 Watt TDP) due to the similar specs.

In the 6000 series, AMD switched to the RDNA 2 graphics architecture for the iGPU. As the 6600HS the 7535HS only offers the slower Radeon 660M with 6 of the 12 CUs enabled and 1.9 GHz max. clock rate.

The TDP of the APU is specified from 35 to 54 Watt. The monolithic chip is manufactured in 6nm at TSMC.

AMD Ryzen 7 7735U

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U is a processor for mid-sized laptops based of the Rembrandt refresh generation. The R7 7735U integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 2.7 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.75 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process. Compared to the previous Ryzen 7 6800U, the 7735U offers 50 MHz higher boost clock and a slightly higher TDP of 28W (vs 15-25W).

The Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip offers modern features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4 and DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s.

Performance

The average 7735U in our database is in the same league as the Core i7-1270P, Ryzen 5 6600H, Ryzen 7 5825U, Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. The chip is absolutely capable of making most consumers happy, as of mid 2023; of course, your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is and how high the CPU power limits are.

The integrated GPU Radeon 680M is still one of the fastest iGPUs (only bested by the new Radeon 780M). It is based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.2 GHz.

The Ryzen 7735U is manufactured in 6nm FinFET at TSMC and specified at a TDP of 28W.
