Ryzen 5 7520U, Ryzen 3 7320U and Athlon Gold 7220U processors aim to provide a more efficient experience for entry-level notebooks, competing with Intel Core i3

A AMD, this Tuesday (20), revealed its new processors Mendocino, Ryzen 7020 and Athlon 7020, which aim to present a processing solution for low-cost devices – such as common notebooks and the like. 18e6h

As SKUs revealed at the event were the processors Ryzen 5 7520U, Ryzen 3 7320U e Athlon Gold 7220U, which have the integrated video card Radeon 610M and with a maximum dissipation of 15W. Ryzen has 6MB of cache, while Athlon 7020 uses 5MB, and the three pieces were made with AMD's Zen 2 architecture, along with a 6nm manufacturing process.

In the cores, Ryzen has four cores and eight threads, while the Athlon Gold 7220U has two cores and four threads. All three models are expected to offer up to 12 hours of battery life, with AMD also claiming that they beat the main rival Intel Core i3 in productivity and multitasking performance, as well as software opening speed. 

We remind you that, currently, the architecture used by the high-end processors of AMD are the Zen 4, with the Zen 2 being that of the 2020 models – making these new processors something that should only be found in entry-level notebooks, for use for tasks without much computational power demand.

As for the integrated card, although specifications about it have not yet been revealed, it is possible that it performs better than others. GPUs found on entry-level notebooks, but it's important to note that, considering the devices it will be on, it won't be the recommended configuration for playing games.

In addition to the chip details, the AMD also presented the naming scheme for its processors that it will adopt from 2023 onwards – with the main change being that the third digit of the number will represent which architecture the part uses, as seen in the case of the Ryzen 5 7520U, which uses the Zen 2.

The change, according to the website The Verge, was given as a response to comments that AMD received from consumers that new processors were very similar to old parts but with other names, and this was not clear to the consumer - which makes the new name indicate the correct nomenclature and make it clear to the interested party what he is buying.

In any case, all three processors announced today by company should reach the market in SKUs along with everyday-ready notebooks that are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2022 – and can offer a better experience for these more common s, who demand less from the PC.
