As the two big hitters in laptop processor space, Intel and AMD regularly trade blows.
The former released its 11th-gen ‘Rocket Lake’ desktop chips on the first day of CES 2021, but AMD soon responded with laptop processors of its own at the event.
The Ryzen 5000 series was the big news from AMD in January 2021, but it’s still releasing new CPUs more than a year later. Here’s everything you need to know.
When were Ryzen 5000 laptop chips released?
The Ryzen 5000 series chips were officially unveiled at AMD’s CES 2021 press conference on 12 January, as was confirmed a month earlier.
Devices powered by the CPUs were released throughout 2021, but AMD has since released a successor in the Ryzen 6000 Series.
The company still had time for one more release in 2022, though. The Ryzen 5000 C-Series retain the same core features as the regular CPUs, but they’re for high-end Chromebooks instead.
How much will Ryzen 5000 Series laptops cost?
The Ryzen 5000 series won’t be available to buy as standalone chips, as they’re designed to provide an integrated solution for thin and light laptops and convertibles.
How much you’ll pay for one of these devices will depend on individual manufacturers, but also which tier of processor it’s using. Here’s a rough guide to the level of performance each offers:
Ryzen 3 – basic browsing, streaming and content creation
Ryzen 5 – solid for productivity and entertainment
Ryzen 7 – high-end performance, including demanding tasks
Ryzen 9 – elite performance across gaming and content creation
You can often pick up a Ryzen 3 laptop for as little as £200, while a Ryzen 9 device can cost upwards of £2000. We’d expect these four tiers to go head-to-head with Intel’s equivalents (i3, i5, i7, i9) once again.
