AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is a mobile APU for thin and light business laptops that was announced in January 2017. Compared to the similar consumer Ryzen 5 2500U, the PRO 2500U offers additional security features and longer part availability / warranty.

It includes four Zen cores clocked at 2 to 3.6 GHz and offers 4 MB L3-Cache. The integrated graphics card is called Radeon RX Vega 8 and offers 8 CUs (512 Shaders) clocked at up to 1100 MHz. The TDP is configurable between 12 and 25 Watt (15 Watt nominal). More information on Raven Ridge can be found in our launch article.

Intel Core i9-11900KB

The Intel Core i9-11900KB is an Octa-Core-CPU that was used in the Intel Beast Canyon NUC. It is based on the Tiger-Lake-H45 series and was announced in the second quarter of 2021. The processor cores can clock from 3.3 to 5.3 GHz, all cores at once can reach up to 4.9 GHz. The CPU features 24 MB level 3 cache and DDR4-3200 memory. The integrated UHD graphics card is based on the Xe-architecture with 32 cores and clocks up to 1.45 GHz.

As with the slower Tiger Lake-H CPUs, the 11900KB has a partly integrated WiFi 6E and Thunderbolt 4 in the chip. Furthermore, the 11900KB supports 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes.

The TDP is rated at 65 Watt with 3.3. GHz base clock and can be configured to 55 Watt (cTDP-down).

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G

The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is a desktop APU that was announced in early 2018. It is the fastest Raven Ridge APU at that time and features all four Zen cores (8 threads due to SMT support) clocked at 3.6 - 3.9 GHz with a Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics card with 11 CUs (all of the 704 Shaders on the chip) clocked at up to 1250 MHz. The integrated dual-channel memory controller supports up to DDR-2933. The TDP is specified at 65 Watt and the CPU, GPU and memory are unlocked for overclocking.
