Some more AMD Ryzen 5 2500U benchmarks hit the web

NotebookCheck had the opportunity to test the HP Envy x360 15, which features AMD's new Ryzen 5 2500U APU. This chip combines Zen cores with Vega CUs and the site says its initial benchmarks reveal Intel has every reason to worry. A more detailed report is expected next week but NotebookCheck can already conclude that AMD has a good shot of shaking up the performance-per-dollar war in the laptop market.

For a long time, Intel went unchallenged in the mobile space but that's no longer a sure-thing as this new APU not only delivers decent performance but also great performance-per-Watt:

Power consumption results are just as incredible for Our Ryzen 5 model. The AMD HP notebook manages to be less demanding that the Spectre x360 15 with the i7-7500U CPU and GeForce 940MX dGPU while providing a roughly 50 percent boost in multi-thread CPU performance and 20 boost in GPU performance. The performance-per-Watt is even more impressive when compared to AMD's own demanding mobile RX 460 GPU.
