This is the lightest and most autonomous laptop on the AMD platform The Dynabook brand, which previously belonged to Toshiba, and since 2019 has gone free, has presented a unique Dynabook GA83/XW laptop. This is the world's lightest model based on an AMD processor - depending on the configuration, it uses the Ryzen 5 7530U or Ryzen 7 7730U. At the same time, the weight of the 13-inch device is only 875 grams.

Equipped with a Ryzen 7 7730U processor, the Dynabook GA83/XW The amount of RAM LPDDR4-4266 is 16 GB, solid-state drive is 512 GB. The touchscreen diagonal is 13.3 inches, resolution is Full HD. There are two USB-C 3.1 ports, two USB 3.0 Type-A, RJ-45 (!), and a microSD card slot. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 adapters are also provided; an LTE modem can be installed for an additional fee. The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the touch cursor control panel.

But much slower in multithreaded The first results of testing the Ryzen 3 7440U processor have appeared on the Internet. In this case, this is interesting because the Ryzen 3 7440U belongs to the Phoenix 2 line, unlike other Ryzen 7040Us.

It has four cores with SMT support and iGPU Radeon 740M. At the same time, there are two Zen 4 and two Zen 4C cores, which can be called large and small, respectively, but this division is not at all the same as that of an Intel CPU. First test of AMD processor with large and small cores. [caption id="attachment_65548" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD processor[/caption] [caption id="attachment_65549" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD processor[/caption] In Geekbench 6, the new processor scores 2323 and 6571 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. This is quite good, since, in comparison, the Core i3-13100F with four large cores has the same single-threaded performance. In multi-threaded mode, it is significantly higher, but it is worth remembering that we are talking about a desktop CPU, while the Ryzen 3 7440U is a mobile one. True, it was the SolidRun Bedrock R7000 desktop mini-PC that was tested, but with passive cooling. Unfortunately, there is no power consumption data yet, but this should also be a strong point of the Ryzen 3 7440U.
