The latest update of this article provides a detailed list of all the AMD Ryzen 7 7735U, Ryzen 7 7730U, and Ryzen 7 6800U laptops available in stores as of the first part of 2023, and explains the specs and performance of these existing AMD Ryzen 7000 and previous-gen Ryzen 6000 and 5000 mobile platforms.
AMD are finally able to compete with Intel in the ultrabook space with their recent Ryzen U hardware iterations, especially with their Ryzen 6000 Zen3+ updates with higher clocked 8C/16T processors, improved IPC over the Ryzen 5000 platforms, and RDNA2-based integrated graphics, the most capable iGPUs of their generation.
Here’s a quick walk down the history lane of these 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 integrated GPU with up to 8 Compute Units.
In 2021, AMD launched the updated Ryzen 5000 series of APUs, which, confusingly, consist of two broader types of processors: some based on a marginally revised Zen2+ architecture, as part of the Lucienne Zen2+ platform, and some based on the newer Zen3 architecture, under the Cezanne platform.
Then, in 2022, AMD launched the Rembrandt Ryzen 6000 mobile hardware built on the revised Zen3+ architecture and TSMC’s 6 nm process node.
We’re looking at the Ryzen 7 6800U 8C/16T and Ryzen 5 6600U 6C/12T processors meant for mainstream consumer laptops, as well as a Pro series of Ryzen 7 6850U and Ryzen 7 6650U processors meant for pro/business models. These are 15-28W power designs, and include RDNA2 graphics, with 12 Compute Units (Radeon 680M) on the Ryzen 7 and 6 Compute Units (Radeon 660M) on the Ryzen 5. Here’s what to expect in terms of performance from the 12CUs Radeon 680M chip.
Finally, a Ryzen Barcelo 5000 mobile platform is also available as of 2022, just to make things more confusing. This includes processors such as the Ryzen 7 5825U 8C/16T and the Ryzen 5 5625U 6C/12T, and is a minor revision of the Ryzen 5000 Cezanne hardware from 2021, built on the same Zen3 cores and Vega graphics.
And that brings us to the 2023 Ryzen 7000 U platforms, which are just as confusing and mixed up as before.
On one hand, there are 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.
On the other, there are the Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T and Ryzen 5 7530U 6C/12T processors, part of the Barcelo-R platform, built on Zen3 Cores and Vega graphics. These are rebadged versions of the 2022 Ryzen 7 5825U/ Ryzen 5 5635U processors.
In other words, there are no actual new Ryzen 7 U processors available this year, based on Zen4 cores or RDNA3 Radeon 780M graphics. Instead, you’re only getting the new technology on the Ryzen 7 HX/HS and Ryzen 9 HX/HS platforms, at least for now.
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.
But first, a quick insight into the 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’s also an AMD Ryzen 7 7736U platform exclusive to some products (such as 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).
Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U CPU is the professional version of the standard Ryzen 7 6800U, with vPro, additional management features, and an integrated Microsoft Pluton Security processor. Otherwise, the two offer the exact same core/memory design and features. The Ryzen 5 6650U and 6600U are the same as well, but the lower-iter 6C/12T variants with Radeon 660M graphics.
Compared to the previous generation Ryzen 5000 platform, Rembrandt offers a boost in IPC and Turbo clock speeds, support for faster memory and storage, and the much improved Radeon graphics.
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.
And here are some quick benchmark comparisons:
Note: We haven’t yet tested any of the Ryzen U 7000 platforms. I’m updating this section in the future, as we get to review the Ryzen 7 7735U and Ryzen 7 7730U processors.

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 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. Most of those links are affiliate, so buying through them helps support our work here on Ultrabookreview.com.
Top AMD Ryzen U designs – Ryzen 7 7735U, Ryzen 7 6800U / Pro 6850U
This section includes premium and mid-tier ultrabooks built on the most capable AMD Ryzen U platforms currently available, such as the 2023 Rembrand-R AMD Ryzen 7 7735U and the exclusive Ryzen 7 7736U iteration, or the 2022 AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and AMD Ryzen Pro 6850U.
All these platforms are based on Zen3+ Cores and RDNA2 Radeon 680M graphics.
Keep in mind that the availability of the top-specced 6800U/6850U configurations is still limited in most regions, but mid-tier Ryzen 5 7535U/ 6600U variants might be more widely available.

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?

October 4, 2022 at 5:33 pm
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..
Andrei Girbea
October 4, 2022 at 5:36 pm
you're not getting Ryzen U hardware on gaming laptops, you'll have to go Ryzen H or HS for that.
