The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is a powerful mobile processor from the Krackan Point family that was announced at CES in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4x Zen 5 with up to 5 GHz and 4x Zen 5c with less cache and a maximum of 3.5 GHz) and a big 16 MB L3-Cache.
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 7 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 7 AI chip cannot be replaced by the user as it is soldered.
Performance
Thanks to the Zen 5 architecture and the high clock rates, the CPU performance should be very good.
Graphics
The Radeon 860M is the direct successor to the Radeon 760M and offers 8 cores (CUs = 512 shaders) and clocks at up to 3 GHz. It uses the new RDNA 3.5 architecture.
Power consumption
The AI 350 is said to have a base TDP of 28 W, although laptop manufacturers are free to set the TDP between 15 and 54 W.
The 4 nm TSMC process with which these CPUs are manufactured ensures above-average energy efficiency.
The AMD Ryzen 7 250 is a powerful laptop processor (APU) of the now years-old Hawk Point family that was announced at CES 2025. This isn't an entirely new APU; instead, the R7 250 is a rebadged R7 8840U. Its eight Zen 4 cores run at 3.3 GHz to 5.1 GHz and are SMT-enabled for a total of 16 processing threads. The Radeon 780M iGPU is responsible for 3D processing and similar duties.
Architecture and Features
Hawk Point family chips are powered by the Zen 4 architecture, much like Phoenix and Dragon Range family chips were. The 16 TOPS NPU present here isn't powerful enough for systems built around the 7 250 to be Copilot+ certified.
Elsewhere, the chip has 16 MB of L3 cache and support for super-fast DDR5-5600 and LPDDR5x-7500 RAM while also being compatible with USB 4 and thus with Thunderbolt. It comes with 20 PCIe 4 lanes, giving fast NVMe SSD up to 7.8 GB/s of throughput.
Please note that this processor is not overclockable and neither is it user-replaceable. It gets soldered to the motherboard for good instead (FP8 socket interface).
Performance
Since the R7 250 is an 8840U / 7840U in disguise, it's safe to expect it to be about as fast as the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V in multi-thread workloads. Therefore, the CPU performance is good enough even for demanding tasks, as of 2025.
Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are and how competent the cooling solution of your system is.
Graphics
The Radeon 780M has 12 CUs (768 shaders) purring away at up to 2,700 MHz. The Radeon will let you use up to 4 monitors with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p and it will also HW-decode and HW-encode the most widely used video codecs (such as AV1, HEVC and AVC) without breaking a sweat. As for gaming, most 2024 games run fine at 1080p with settings set to Low on this graphics adapter.
Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are, how competent the cooling solution of your system is, how fast the RAM of your system is (there is no dedicated VRAM here).
Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 series chip has a long-term power limit (default TDP) of 28 W. Laptop makers are free to change that value significantly, with values as low as 15 W and as high as 30 W greenlighted by AMD. Either way, an active cooling solution is a must for any system powered by this chip.
The R7 250 is built with TSMC's 4 nm process for high, as of late 2023, energy efficiency.
