The big news here is that AMD’s Chromebook chips are no longer trapped on the previous Zen architecture – they’ve jumped all the way up to Zen 3, which AMD claims means up to twice the performance of its 3000-series chips in synthetic benchmarks, depending on the workload.
The business is also claiming that its processors outperform Intel processors in terms of performance and battery life, although the comparisons are hazy, to say the least. When you consider how much additional headroom the Intel chip can use, it’s impressive to read that AMD’s Ryzen 7 5825C, with a 15W TDP, is even 7% faster than Intel’s 28W i7-1185G7 in web browsing.
