AMD has launched its first mobile chips based on its Zen architecture, and they could be a threat to Intel\u2019s grip on the notebook market.<\/p>\n

AMD\u2019s previous mobile processors were traditionally unable to compete well against Intel\u2019s products, due to Intel\u2019s superior integrated graphics and better performance-per-watt.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer\u2019s new CPU and GPU architectures have allowed it to launch a powerful and competitive chip, however, giving it a chance to play in the notebook space.<\/p>\n

Architecture<\/h3>\n

The key to AMD\u2019s return to the mobile processor market is its new Ryzen processors built on its Zen CPU architecture.<\/p>\n

Ryzen Mobile chips will deliver increased performance and power efficiency compared to previous CPU generations, along with an increased core count.<\/p>\n

Alongside this improved mobile CPU, AMD will also leverage its Vega graphics architecture to include integrated graphics on the mobile chips.<\/p>\n

Code-named \u201cRaven Ridge\u201d, the chips will allow AMD to compete against Intel in graphics and general computing for mobile systems.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/h3>\n

AMD press information published by\u00a0VideoCardz<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0outlines the performance of the new chips relative to Intel\u2019s 8th-gen mobile processors.<\/p>\n

The AMD Ryzen 5 2500U and Ryzen 7 2700U mobile APUs aim to compete with Intel\u2019s Core i7 lineup, with the\u00a0Ryzen 7 2700U boasting competitive CPU performance across multiple benchmarks.<\/p>\n

The 7 2700U reportedly performed well in tests, and will complete against the Intel Core i7-8550U.<\/p>\n

According the data, AMD\u2019s chip easily beats Intel\u2019s when it comes to graphics processing performance.<\/p>\n

The report stated that the Ryzen 7 2700U should deliver the CPU performance of an Intel Core i7-8550U, and more GPU processing power than an Nvidia GeForce 950M.<\/p>\n

The performance benchmarks are shown below.<\/p>\n
