The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme is a fast high-end laptop processor of the Phoenix series and fastest model of the U-series. It offers 8 cores (octa core) based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports SMT (hyperthreading , 16 threads). The cores clock from 3.3 (base) up to 5.1 GHz (single core boost). The processor includes 8 MB L2 cache and 16 MB L3 cache.
The performance of the R7 7840U is, depending on the workload, only slightly below the Ryzen 7 7840HS (higher base clock speed and TDP). Compared to the previous generation Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, the 7840U is clearly faster thanks to the Zen 4 architecture and higher clock speeds. Compared to the similar Ryzen 7 7840U, the Z1 Extreme offers no AI engine.
The chip integrates a modern and fasts RDNA 3 graphics card (iGPU) called Radeon 780M with 12 CUs and up to 2.7 GHz clock speed. Furthermore, the Phoenix series include a video engine with AV1 de- and encoding, a new Xilinx FPGA based XDNA AI accelerator (Ryzen AI) that should be faster than the AI engine in the Apple M2 SOC and a dual-channel DDR5-5600 / LPDDR5x-7500 memory controller (with ECC support). The connectivity features includes 2 possible USB 4 (40 Gbps) ports and 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes for a GPU and SSDs.
The Phoenix series uses a single monolithic design (unlike the chiplet design of the 7045HX series) and is manufactured in the modern 4nm process at TSMC. The TDP can be configured between 15 and 30 Watt.
The AMD Ryzen 5 7535U is a processor for thin and light laptops based of the Rembrandt refresh generation. The Ryzen packs six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 2.9 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.55 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (12 threads). The chip is manufactured in 6 nm FinFET at TSMC. The 7535U is the refresh of the 2022 AMD Ryzen 5 6600U and offers 50 MHz higher boost clock at a 3W higher maximum TDP.
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.
The performance should be quite similar to the old Ryzen 5 6600U due to only a slightly increased boost speed (+50MHz) and TDP (28 versus 15-25W).
The integrated GPU Radeon 660M is still a fast iGPUs based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 6 of the 12 CUs at up to 1.9 GHz.
The Ryzen 7535U is manufactured in 6nm FinFET at TSMC and specified at a TDP of 28W.
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.
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.
