The latest update of this article provides a detailed list of all the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U and Ryzen 7 8840HS laptops available in stores as of mid 2024, as well as lists of previous generation AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, Ryzen 7 7735U, Ryzen 7 7730U, and Ryzen 7 6800U devices that you can still buy today. Then, I’m also going to explain the specs and performance of the latest AMD Ryzen 8000 U platforms and of the previous-gen Ryzen 7000 and 6000 mobile hardware.
AMD are finally able to compete with Intel in the ultrabook space with their recent Ryzen U hardware iterations, especially with their Ryzen 8000 and 7000 Zen4 and Ryzen 6000 Zen3+ updates with higher clocked 8C/16T processors, improved IPC over the older Ryzen platforms, and RDNA3 and RDNA2 based integrated graphics, still the most capable iGPUs of their generations.
Here’s a quick walk down the history lane of these AMD Ryzen U platforms.
AMD Renoir launched in 2020 and included Ryzen Mobile 4000 APUs with Zen 2 processors with up to 8Cores/16Threads and a Radeon Vega iGPUs.
Follow-up series were unveiled during the next years, with Rembrandt Ryzen 6000 mobile hardware from 2022 being one of the most widely AMD platforms implemented in laptops, namely with the Ryzen 7 6800U processor.
Then, 2023 got things confusing.
On one hand, there were the Ryzen 7 7735U 8C/16T and Ryzen 5 7535U 6C/12T processors, part of the Rembrandt-R platform, built on Zen3+ Cores and Radeon 680M graphics. These are rebadged versions of the 2022 Ryzen 7 6800U/Ryzen 5 6600U processors.
And then there were the actual new-gen Ryzen 7 U processors available for the year, based on the AMD Phoenix architecture with Zen4 cores and RDNA3 Radeon 780M graphics: Ryzen 7 7480U, the special-bin Ryzen 7 7840S, the vPro business-grade Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U, as well as their lower-tier Ryzen variants (Ryzen 5 7640U, Ryzen 5 7540U, Ryzen 3 7440U, etc.). Here’s what to expect in terms of performance from the AMD Radeon 780M chip.
And that brings us to early 2024, with the release of the Hawk Point Ryzen 8000 hardware, namely the Ryzen 7 8840U 8C/16T, and the other-tier variants (Ryzen 5 8640U, Ryzen 5 8540U, Ryzen 3 8440U).
However, new for the year is also the Ryzen 7 8840HS platform, which is identical to the 8840U in specs, just runs at slightly higher default power settings. There’s also a Ryzen 7 8845HS platform, but that’s closer to the top-tier Ryzen 9 8945HS, with higher clocks speeds and power, and we’re discussing it in this separate article about AMD Ryzen 9 platforms and laptops.
In a few words, though, very little has changed compared to the Phoenix processors, with minor updates in CPU and GPU clock speeds for the Hawk Point APU. The more notable update is the integration of “Ryzen AI”, with an improved AMD XDNA-based NPU designed for AI use and applications. Among other, content creation software such as Adobe Suite or Davinci Resolve should benefit from this faster NPU.
But as far as overall capabilities and performance goes, don’t expect major differences from Hawk Point based notebooks over their Phoenix predecessors.
Here’s a recent selection of Ryzen U laptops available in your region, and we’ll also get cover a detailed list of all the Ryzen U options available in stores further down in this article.
AMD Ryzen 7 U-series, specs sheets and main features
But first, a quick insight into the 2024 Ryzen U 8000, 2023 Ryzen U 7000, 2022 Ryzen U 6000, and 2021 Ryzen U 5000 platforms, starting with a summarized specs sheet of the different APU options and their important particularities.

There are also a handful of exclusive bins only found on specific products:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7736U platform exclusive to the HP Dragonfly Pro, which is identical to the Ryzen 7 7735U, with the sole exception being the fact that it can ramp up to 4.75 GHz Max Turbo (vs 4.7 GHz on the regular 7735U).
- AMD Ryzen 7 7840S platform exclusive to a few Lenovo devices (Yoga Air 14s, Yoga Sim 7), a variation of the 7840U running at 30W of power, with otherwise similar specs and characteristics.
Furthermore, the Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U CPU is the professional version of the standard Ryzen 7 7840U, with vPro, additional management features, and an integrated Microsoft Pluton Security processor. Otherwise, the two offer the exact same core/memory design and features. On top of these, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 options are available for all generations. For the latest Phoenix platform, the Ryzen 5 7640U is a 6C/12T processor with Radeon 760M graphics (8 CUs), while the Ryzen 3 7440U is a 4C/8T processor with Radeon 740M graphics (4 CUs).
I’ll also add that the Ryzen 7000 Phoenix hardware offer a boost in IPC and Turbo clock speeds over the Ryzen 6000 Rembrandt hardware, support for faster memory and storage, and improved Radeon 700 graphics. That was also the case for Ryzen 6000 vs older-gen Ryzen 5000.
As far as the older U platforms go, the Ryzen 7 5800U (8C/16T), Ryzen 5 5600U (6C/12T), and Ryzen 3 5400U (4C/8T) are part of the Cezanne platform and get Zen3-based processors with 4-8 Cores, HyperThreading, an upgraded memory controller and increased amount of L2+L3 cache memory, faster integrated Radeon Vega graphics, and a multitude of other IPC improvements and optimizations.
In comparison, the Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T), Ryzen 5 5500U (6C/12T), and Ryzen 3 5300U (4C/8T) are part of the Lucienne platform and get Zen2+ based processors, with only a handful of smaller optimizations over the Renoir Zen2 processors from 2020. The Lucienne architecture is better explained in this detailed article from Anandtech.
If you’re looking for more insights on the Ryzen platform’s performance in comparison to the Intel options you should check out the multitude of reviews available here on the site, as well as our reviews of the Ryzen 7 6800U platform or the Ryzen 7 5800U hardware, in a very similar 13-inch chassis.

Take these with a lump of salt, as they are taken on different products with different power settings and software packages. They do show how the performance per watt has progressed over time, as well as how a lower power-cap limits the capabilities of these Ryzen platforms in comparison to a 45W design.
With that in mind, down below we’ve split the list of Ryzen U Mobile laptops into two sections: top-tier products based on Ryzen 7 7840U, Ryzen 7 7735U and Ryzen 7 6800U/6850U and 5800U APUs, and mid and budget-tier devices that can only be configured up to the Ryzen 7 7730U and Ryzen 7 5825U APUs, with links towards our reviews and towards up-to-date configurations/prices at the time you’re reading this article.

Hi,
The Lenovo Thinkpad E14 AMD has 2 x PCIe instead of PCIe + Sata 2.5".
Same is the case with Lenovo Ideapad 5.

Dell Inspiron 5645. Is has the Ryzen 7 8840u and 2 memory slots.I got mine a few days ago, it was quite noisy under Windows 11 (the fans tuned on quite often and were quite loud). I installed Arch Linux with KDE Plasma, and now this thing purrs, and it completely silent most of the time. Even when I do something demanding (like starting up an Android Virtual Device and compiling code in Android Studio), it's still fairly silent (although the fans spin when I first load up an Android Virtual Device).
Everything works under Linux (including the fingerprint reader), the screen looks just fine (even though it's low-spec), and the keyboard feels great. Mine came with a 1TB m2 drive and 16GB of RAM (which is user-upgradeable) for under $600.
If the battery was slightly larger (say, 68W) and the screen was 120Hz, this thing would be the perfect laptop.

It seems that there are 0 AMD 4xxx laptops with better than FHD resolution? Really? :-(

The battery for the Envy x360 15 isn't entirely accurate. Some HP Envy x360 15 models (like the 15z-ds100) has a 55.67 Wh, 4-cell Lithium-ion prismatic Battery.

I tried looking for any of the laptops under 4800u section, but most that were sold included up to 4700u for the 14inch variants. Am I missing something here? Maybe no 14inch can include the 4800u?

Some will, but the availability is limited for now. Should change in the next month or so

Hi Andrei ,
Can you please make a review for Asus ZenBook UM425 (512Gb or 1Tb/ 16GB / 4700u or 4800u if it will exist/be available) ?
# very interested about autonomy(22h ?!) and Cinebench 15/20
Thanks !

MSI modern does not offer 4800U version.
List also all the 4800H laptops, especially XMG ones with 4K OLED panels

the laptops that you've listed for ryzen 4800U , not a single on of 'em are of Ryzen 4800U , but all of them are of Ryzen 4700U
Darcy
December 26, 2020 at 2:14 pm
That's not true. I own a Lenovo Slim 7 with 4800u and there is heaps of info online about it containing this processor

Where can I find 5800U-based all-in-one? I am eager to get one for sure.

This may not be an all in one but…
Looks like HP is about to move to 6800U because I saw their current 13" x360 Envy 2in1 with 5800U, 16 GB, 512 GB SSD, 400 nits screen for $200 off.

Huaweis and some Xiaomi/Redmi are missing with 5000u chips.

There is now R7 5825U and R5 5625U, small upgrades over 5800U and 5600U.

Thank you, I was hoping to spot a decent gaming variant in there; I feel like all laptop CPUs in gaming machines just hit thermal (then throttle) points so easily these days…what's the point of having them in there in the first place?? Surely lower powered e.g. 6800u would pair well with RDNA/Ampere with only minimal fps hit, perhaps even none due to the thermal throttle issue mentioned..

you're not getting Ryzen U hardware on gaming laptops, you'll have to go Ryzen H or HS for that.

Yeah got it already, still too hot although better than Intel albeit. Thanks

I am still looking for an all-in-one machine but now prefer to have Ryzen 6800 or better

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the HP Pavilion Aero 7735U should be included here.
Also, I don't see much review from that laptop.
