Not worth it: AMD Ryzen 7 3750H is only 8 percent faster than the Ryzen 5 3550H

[Redaktion]

While raw performance is comparable to a Core i5-8300H as designed, the Ryzen 7 3750H offers almost no tangible benefits over the Ryzen 5 3550H. The performance differences are so incredibly minor between the two SKUs that AMD could have just launched with one SKU only to make life simpler.

"AMD Ryzen 7 3750H is only 4 to 8 percent faster than the Ryzen 5 3550H"

Well, this is the logic of a nuke guy? IMHO, it depends on cooling...
Thanks God you never started a carrier in this industry  :D

what about actual workloads and battery life...? it's a better binned chip after all...

   This isnt exactly true. When used in a gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU you are correct. However when using the IGPU the 3550 has 20% fewer GPU cores and a lower clocked GPU than the 3750. Using IGPU the 3750 about 30% faster in games. This was made to be an entry level gaming APU so yea running it with a dedicated card certainly diminishes it. But absolutely worth it if using Onboard graghics.

If the CPU was throttling, then it was outside its acceptable thermal range. What causes that? The laptop vendor failed to provide adequate cooling.

This is about the particular model of notebook and the vendor that made it ... not about the CPUs performance necessarily, because if it wasn't thermally throttling, the performance would be different ... no?

Bingo!  ;)

Note there will be a ton of FUD coming out in the next few weeks as new Ryzen launch occurs, and Intel's "incentives" gets spread around. This could be just crappy reviewing, but I doubt it.

Even an amateur reviewer that is smart enough to observe thermal throttling, should also be smart enough to know that that is the fault of the cooling solution NOTHING to do with the CPU specifically (unless its like pulling 255w at a 95w rated TDP or something absurd like that).

2x bingo! Exactly my words  :D

Who in the world would make a determination on a gaming CPU by reviewing Cinebench and SuperPi benchmarks in the first place? Where's the actual game benchmarks? This is shoddy reporting on purpose. SMH.

First of all, these are gaming oriented CPUs, you do NOT benchmark them in productive apps, it's like measuring mass with a thermometer.

Second and more importantly, Laptops suffer from a lot of thermal throttling, you can't possibly expect your notebook laptop with the same processor to a thicker gaming oriented laptop with a decent cooling solution.

And 3rd, mobile processors suffer from many different inconveniences, for example, a processor might reduce its max load to adjust to the TDP given by the manufacturer in accordance with its power supply.
