AMD Ryzen 7 5825U

The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is a mobile processor with 8 cores, launched in January 2022. It is part of the Ryzen 7 lineup, using the Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture with Socket FP6. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 16 threads. Ryzen 7 5825U has 16MB of L3 cache and operates at 2000 MHz by default, but can boost up to 4.5 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen 7 5825U on a 7 nm production process using 10,700 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 7 5825U, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 15 W, the Ryzen 7 5825U consumes very little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with adual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MHz, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Ryzen 7 5825U uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 7 5825U, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
