AMD is currently on their backfoot, however, that only means that they are preparing a big hit again their rivals in Blue. For now, their latest offerings are the Ryzen 5000U-series, which comes with three revamped CPUs, which shrink the dye from 7nm to 6nm and bring a slight increase to the clock speeds. Today we’re here to find out how important all of that is, by putting the Ryzen 7 5825U against the Ryzen 7 5800U.

CPU benchmarks

Well well well, the old dog certainly doesn’t want to give up, as the Ryzen 7 5800U scores 12% higher in Cinebench 20 and has a 0.3-second lead in Photoshop, which isn’t a lot, but we really expected it to be the other way around.

Conclusion

While the older CPU does appear faster, we’ve only tested the Ryzen 7 5825U inside a single laptop, so there is more evidence still to be recorded. However, there really isn’t a lot of difference between the chips, so you can safely pick between the two of them. You should also find a laptop that can properly harness the power of these chips while having the features that you want.
