It looks like AMD has finally rolled out the big (small?) guns and is currently gunning for the ultimate mobile processor. The Ryzen 7 2700U and 2500U claim some absolutely incredible performance numbers that go head to head against Intel’s Kaby Lake based processors with an amazing amount of energy efficiency differential. In fact, according to the given numbers, the Ryzen APUs are almost 6x times more power efficient.
The performance of these parts is incredible. Historically, Intel has had a clear monopoly on the mobile sector due its chips having the clear performance lead. This time around however, it appears that AMD just might have managed to do the impossible. If the official numbers are to be believed than the Ryzen 2700U is so powerful that it can beat out a 91W TDP Kaby Lake based Core i5 7600k. That is absolutely insane. I am cautious in saying this, but I think AMD might actually have the perfect must-have chip of this generation in mobile. There are sure to sell like hotcakes in the laptop market.
