Before 2019, there is no such thing as AMD chromebook. Moreover, the performance of the first batch of products is very slow. Although AMD's second attempt on chromebook is better, they still contain the Zen core that has been out of date for many years Today, AMD is moving forward with a better attitude. The newly launched ryzen 5000 c-series chip includes "the first 8-core high-performance x86 processor for chromebooks"
Although amd still doesn't show its best side, because these Apus will still use the previous generation of AMD Vega graphics card instead of the latest rDNA 2. The new ryzen 7 5825c, ryzen 5 5625c and ryzen 3 5425c also do not completely try to cover up that they are largely copies of the company's U-series chips. But the bright spot is that AMD's chromebook chips no longer stay on the old Zen Architecture - they jump directly to Zen 3, which means that the performance in the comprehensive benchmark is twice that of its 3000 series chips, depending on the workload.
Amd claims that its processors for chromebook are ahead of < a data link = "1" href = "" target = "_blank" > Intel processors in terms of performance and battery life, but the details are unclear. If the ryzen 7 5825c of AMD 15W TDP is even 7% faster than Intel's 28W i7-1185g7 in web browsing, it will be impressive. However, this is still a comparison with Intel's 11th generation chips, not Intel's latest 12th generation processors, which should have entered chromebook this year.
But there is no doubt that this is a major event for AMD. Amd has been trying to manufacture cost-effective laptop chips for many years and has only recently begun to succeed. So far, its new chromebook chips have won the favor of two chromebooks from two manufacturers: the 14 inch < a data link = "1" href = "" target = "_blank" > HP elite c645 G2 chromebook and the 14 inch < a data link = "1" href = "" target = "_blank" > Acer chromebook spin 514. The two laptops will be available in the second quarter and the third quarter of this year, respectively.
