Presumably, all these chips should come with integrated Vega iGPUs. The code lines also mention three more chips including the Ryzen 3 3250C, the Athlon Silver 3050C and the Athlon Gold 3150C as part of the Dali family. The BIOS lines of code identify these CPUs as the Ryzen 7 3700C and Ryzen 5 3500C pertaining to the Picasso APU family. However, based on a few lines of code from the latest Chrome OS update spotted by reddit user coelacanth_poor, it looks like AMD intends to expand the Chrome support with new, more powerful chips derived the Zen+ Ryzen 7 3700U and Ryzen 5 3500U processors. The truth is these AMD alternatives are even more affordable and thus cannot really match the performance of the Intel models. Most Chromebooks are powered by Intel’s chips, but, last year, OEMs started releasing AMD-powered models here and there. While the new C-series Ryzen 5000 CPUs look like rebranded U-series processors, it is good to see AMD actually launching something for Chromebooks, a market segment that the company has seemingly ignored in the past.Chromebooks were originally designed to be budget-friendly laptop solutions for students, so, as far as specs go, these devices only feature at most a quad-core ULV CPU with integrated graphics. Team Red also reports double the battery life with the Ryzen 5 5625C compared to the Intel Core i5-1135G7. The same goes for the GPU performance where the Ryzen 7 5825C is up to 85% faster than the Ryzen 7 3700C in MotionMark 1.2 benchmark.įurthermore, AMD is also claiming that the new 8-core Ryzen 7 5825C is up to 7% faster than the 28 W Intel Core i7-1185G7 despite having a considerably lower TDP of 15 W. According to AMD, the Ryzen 7 5825C is up to 107% faster than the Ryzen 7 3700C in Geekbench 5’s multitasking benchmark.

Unsurprisingly, AMD is claiming that the new chips will trounce the company’s previous Chromebook-specific Ryzen 3000 C-series processors. On the graphics side, the Ryzen 5000 C-series are rocking Vega GPUs. All of these processors are based on AMD’s 7 nm Zen 3 architecture and have a TDP of 15 W. The chips include the entry-level Ryzen 3 5125C with 2 cores and 4 threads, a Ryzen 3 5425C rocking 4 cores and 8 threads, a mid-range Ryzen 5 5625C with 6 cores, and 12 threads, and a high-end Ryzen 7 5825C that packs 8 cores and 16 threads. AMD has launched Ryzen 5000 C-series chips for Chromebooks.
