AMD Introduces Ryzen 7040U Processors with Speeds Up to 5.1 GHz and RDNA 3-Based Radeon 700M Graphics

AMD has unveiled its new series of processors Low Power Ryzen 7040U Seriesa series that, as its new nomenclature indicates, is based on zen cores 4 which are also used in processors AMD Dragon Range and the 7000 Series for desktop computers.

These new processors for low-power laptops come with a Superior performance, along with better graphics and AI-powered AMD XDNA architecture so present in all new processors. Also, this series has a consumption of only 15 to 30 Wideal for ultra-thin computers, without sacrificing the performance offered by the maximum configuration available in this series of AMD Ryzen 7040U processors.

The new AMD Ryzen 7040U are available in 4 references divided into the Ryzen 7 7840Uthe Ryzen 5 7640U and 7540U and the Ryzen 3 7440U. The configuration of these new processors can be seen in the following table.

This generation has processors of up to 8 cores and 16 threads with Zen 4 architecture, capable of reaching speeds of up to 5.1GHz. In addition, they include AMD Radeon 700M high performance integrated graphics with architecture RDNA 3. According to the data offered by AMD, these processors offer from 29% to 128% more performance in day-to-day applications for Windows, specifically they talk about the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U with Radeon 780M graphics compared to an Intel Core i7-1360P and Intel Iris Xe graphics.

We have also seen a comparison with the Apple M2, where we see that some tasks match the performance, with the advantage being slightly higher for AMD. But in others it shoots up to 72% more in multithreaded or a 75% more in Passmark 10.

The processors have AMD Radeon 700M Series integrated graphics to help with tasks that require higher graphics performance. This new generation has higher GPU speeds up to 2.7 GHz and peak performance of up to 8.6 TFLOPS (FP16)also takes advantage of a higher bandwidth thanks to DDR5/LPDDR5 memory. The new features include:

• RDNA3 UCs
• Support for New Radiance Display Engine (DisplayPort 2.1)
• Dual engines for AV1 encoding and decoding
• Improved Raytracing acceleration
• Dual Issue Wave32 Units
• New instructions and performance increase in AI

These GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture are available in 3 variants depending on the type of processor, thus we find:

• AMD Radeon 780M for AMD Ryzen 7 and 9 processors
• AMD Radeon 760M for AMD Ryzen 5 processors
• AMD Radeon 740M for AMD Ryzen 5 and 3 processors

Each AMD Radeon 700M graphics model features a different configurationthe AMD Radeon 780M has 12 CUs, capable of reaching 2.7 GHz and includes 4 RB+ (Enhanced Rendering Backend). AMD Radeon 760M go down to 8 CUs reaching 2.6 GHz and has 2 RB+, the AMD Radeon 740M has 4 CUsup to 2.5GHz and 2 RB+.

According to manufacturer data, these AMD Radeon 700M graphics in its most powerful version get better performance than integrated graphics in Intel thirteenth generation. From 30% more performance in DOTA 2, going through 62% more in League of Legends and up to 139% more in Cyberpunk 2077.

In addition to this incredible performance, AMD Ryzen 7040U with integrated Radeon 700M graphics have been fully optimized to reduce battery consumption, allowing us to keep our laptop disconnected for much longer. Also AI task performance has been improvedwhich have opened up new possibilities for the security of your device and are supported by the Studio Effects Pack in Windows 11.
