In an effort to gain greater market share, AMD presented a series of CPU who seek to enter all sales ranges, including low-end, mid-range and high-end, now including new processors without iGPU. These new components would be in a mid-range since their specifications are simpler than the latest models they presented, in addition to eliminating certain technologies such as integrated graphics to reduce costs.
During the last years AMD It has become the choice of many people when it comes to acquiring a processor for gaming because it offers extremely high performance for applications that require a large load, which makes this company also dominate the market consoles. Today, the brand that created Ryzen is introducing three new processors aimed at those looking for relatively high performance at a lower price.
AMD’s strategy
We have seen in recent months how AMD has tried to launch into the market a series of processors with excellent performance for most work-intensive tasks, which are usually those related to gaming. But the company does not want to stay in a single part of the “elitist” sector but rather seeks to offer a wide variety of components at lower prices by renouncing certain technologies which make it possible to reduce production costs, which ultimately results in by a reduction in costs. in the price of the part.
In this case, as we indicated at the beginning, with this new line of Zen3+ processors the company is getting rid of one of the things that cause a CPU has a higher cost, integrated graphics. Although we do not yet know the prices that these new processors will have, we know their characteristics and we can see that they really concern CPU which from the beginning are designed to have lower performance than the current models that the company can offer.
The main reason for this has to do with the fact that these are processors whose objective is really to be used for computers that do not take up much space or even for laptops. The new models are Ryzen5 7235Hhe Ryzen 5 7235HS and the Ryzen 7 7435Heach with its own characteristics, the biggest difference that exists between the two being Ryzen5 the fact that the “H” version would be aimed at the more demanding market, i.e. more powerful computers, while the HS version would be aimed at PCs that cannot consume as much power.
What are the specifications of these new processors?
First of all, as we have indicated, both the Ryzen5 The 7235H and 7235HS have identical specifications, so one might expect a different name to have more to do with marketing than specifications, since both have a configurable TDP between 35 and 53 W. Meanwhile time, the Ryzen 7 7435H It presents a big difference in power compared to the previous two, since it is a higher version that includes 4 additional cores as well as 8 additional threads in addition to other differences:
| AMD Ryzen 5 7235H | AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS | AMD Ryzen 7 7435H | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU cores | Zen 3+ with 4 cores “Rembrandt R” | Zen 3+ with 4 cores “Rembrandt R” | Zen 3+ with 8 cores “Rembrandt R” |
| CPU wires | 8 | 8 | 16 |
| Hidden L1 | 384 KB | 384 KB | 512 KB |
| Hidden L2 | 2 MB | 2 MB | 4 MB |
| Hidden L3 | 8 MB | 8 MB | 16 MB |
| Base frequency | 3.2GHz | 3.2GHz | 3.1GHz |
| Maximum boost frequency | Up to 4.2 GHz | Up to 4.2 GHz | Up to 4.5GHz |
| Default TDP | 45W | 45W | 45W |
| TDP configurable by AMD | 35 – 53W | 35 – 53W | 35 – 54W |
| Maximum supported memory | 64 GB | 64 GB | 64 GB |
| Supported memory channels | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Maximum supported memory speed | Up to 4800 MT/s | Up to 4800 MT/s | Up to 4800 MT/s |
These processors are initially created for desktop and laptop platforms, so we can imagine that these CPU They aim to cover an area in which Intel is usually a leader, that of laptops, but they can also enter a booming area, that of mini PCs.
