AMD Ryzen Z1 vs AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U

In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD Ryzen Z1 and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the AMD Ryzen Z1 6 core processor released in Q3/2023 with the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U which has 6 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2023.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.50 GHz (4.90 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U clocks with 3.20 GHz (4.90 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 256 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen Z1, while the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U supports a maximum of 256 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 120.0 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U is 15 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 has 22.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 4 nm. The cache of AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U is at 22.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 4 nm.
