AMD introduced unclear labels for laptop chips, increasing confusion among buyers.
They altered the naming of the Ryzen 7000 series laptop chip. Previously, models like the 6800H clearly indicated a 6th generation chip. Now the '7' in these chips holds no special meaning. For instance, the R7-7715H is essentially a rebranded version of the R7-3750H, representing a third generation Ryzen instead of a 7th. Similarly, the R7-7720His is actually the R7-4800H, a rebranded fourth generation model. It's likely online stores will promote these as '7th generation' to mislead buyers into purchasing inferior products.
He is correct, although I remain cautious. https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/18249178 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/19705612
He never admitted he was incorrect; it was hard to tell if he was grumbling or complaining. The references are really useful, thanks. Those components—AMD Ryzen 7 7715H and 3750H memory— seem to match in performance despite minor differences. It might be an effort to dispose of outdated silicon.
I don't have any references beyond Chinese websites or YouTube videos.
The naming format uses a 4-digit code plus a letter. The first digit indicates a processor type: 7 for Ryzen 7000, followed by numbers 1-9 representing generations—1 for Athlon Silver, 2 for Athlon Gold, 3/4 for Ryzen 3, 5/6 for Ryzen 5, 7 for Ryzen 7, 8 for Ryzen 7 or 9, and 9 for Ryzen 9. The second digit shows the Zen series: 1 for Zen 1/Zen1+, 2 for Zen 2, 3 for Zen 3/Zen3+, 4 for Zen 4. The third digit denotes performance level: 1 for Zen 1/Zen1+, 2 for Zen 2, 3 for Zen 3/Zen3+, and 4 for Zen 4. The fourth digit is either 0 or 5, with 5 indicating enhanced performance. The last letter remains consistent with the original meaning.
Getting new information regularly is important! Appreciate the explanation.
This should shine brightly in every tech space. Keeping up with desktop components feels tough—especially with the shift to mobile and ARM tech. It’s all just a blur to me!
Well, I suppose they made a big mistake here since originally within the same generation "the larger number wins" (except maybe the 8086K). Now it's different because the third digit indicates how outdated the architecture is. In the same generation bigger numbers are actually worse and really confuse people.
