All AMD Processors Laptop Computers & 2-in-1 PCs

AMD processors are computer CPU chips developed by Advanced Micro Devices, or AMD.

Dell offers a variety of product lines that feature AMD Ryzen processors, including Dell Inspiron devices for consumer use, Dell Alienware and G Series laptops for gaming, and Dell Vostro and Enterprise Chromebooks for business use.

In the latest generation of AMD Ryzen processors, the major differences between each processor include the number of cores and threads and the maximum boost clock speed available. AMD Ryzen 3 processors feature 4 cores, 8 threads, and up to 4.7 GHz maximum boost clock speed and are perfect for entry-level gaming and everyday productivity. Ryzen 5 processors offer 6 cores, 12 threads, and up to 5.0 GHz maximum boost clock speed for casual gaming and photo and video management. Ryzen 7 processors boast 8 cores, 16 threads, and up to 5.1 GHz maximum boost clock speed for high-performance gaming and demanding image and video editing applications. And Ryzen 9 processors feature up to 16 cores, up to 32 threads, and up to 5.4 GHz maximum boost clock speed for ultimate gaming performance and professional-class content creation.

In general, each new generation of processors features advances in architecture and energy efficiency that allow the processors to deliver more speed and power. The latest 7000 generation of Ryzen processors feature the same number of cores and threads as the 5000 generation, but deliver a big increase in clock speed and CPU cache memory.

The cores are the components that actually process tasks on a computer’s central processing unit (CPU). The more cores that a CPU has, the more tasks it can complete at one time. Threads are virtual components that divide a physical CPU into multiple cores, allowing more tasks to be completed simultaneously. Clock speed is the number of cycles a CPU can perform per second – the faster the clock speed, the more tasks the CPU can perform.
