https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-7520U-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.654934.0.htmlAmong other things, this article is quite practical for those considering laptops powered by it.
A few important takeways:
Every Ryzen 5 in the 4-5 generation had six cores. This showed in the benchmarks.
However, this Ryzen 5 7520U only has FOUR. According to this article's writer, that means it has "slightly better performance than a
4000 series Ryzen," without also noting that the processor so compared is a two-year-old Ryzen
3 and that the two year old Ryzen 5's two extra cores probably make it better.
Now, I have read good things about the integrated Radeon 610M, but it seems this version is watered down anyway. Also, it should be better in power efficiency (and that says a lot because the 4000s were already stellar). Physically, the "2" at the end of the ID (75
20U) tells you this is Zen 2, aka three year old architecture (think Zen 2 +++ but not quite Zen 3).
As always, feel free to consult with me before buying a laptop.
