For this figure, AMD compared the new Ryzen 5 5625C chip with the Intel Core i5-1135G7.Īpparently Chromebooks with a Ryzen 5000 C-Series CPU will be able to last up to 13 hours before requiring a recharge. It’s not just the performance that’s seeing an improvement, as AMD also says battery life will be up to 94% better than the competition. The move to Zen 3 architecture has seemingly given the Chromebook CPUs a huge performance boost, with AMD claiming the Ryzen 7 5825C is now up to 67% faster at web browsing when compared to the Ryzen 7 3700C CPU from the preceding generation. The top of the range Ryzen 7 5825C processor is the world’s first 8-core high-performance x86 processor for Chromebooks, while the Ryzen 5000 C-Series will be based upon the Zen 3 architecture – the same architecture that’s currently being used with Ryzen 5000 processors for Windows portables.

While we must take AMD’s own findings with a pinch of salt, this is still nevertheless impressive considering Chromebooks have long lagged behind Windows laptops for performance power.
