The AMD Athlon Silver 7120C is a cellular processor for affordable Chromebooks of the Mendocino sequence. It integrates two older Zen 2 cores (much like the Ryzen 4000 sequence). The CPU cores clock from 2.4 GHz (base) to three.5 GHz (single-core Turbo) might use a 2 MB L3 cache.
It doesn’t help SMT/Hyperthreading and, due to this fact, helps solely two threads. The built-in reminiscence controller supports quick LPDDR5 reminiscence (5500 MHz max.). Compared to the faster Mendocino fashions, just like the Ryzen 5 7520C, the 7120C presents only two cores, no SMT, a smaller L3 cache, and decreased clock speeds, reducing CPU efficiency. The specs are identical to the Athlon Silver 7120U for (Home Windows) laptops.
The built-in graphics card (Radeon 610M iGPU) uses the fashionable RDNA 2 structure; however, solely 2 CUs (128 shaders) and clocks with as much as 1.9 GHz.
The CPU efficiency must be related to the quickest Ryzen dual-core (Ryzen 3 3250U, 2.6 – 3.5 GHz, Zen 1); however, it keeps behind modern quad-core CPUs (in multi-threaded exams).
The Mendocino sequence is produced in a comparatively trendy 6nm FinFET course at TSMC and will have excellent energy effectivity. The Athlon Gold 7120C is rated at 8-15 W TDP and nicely fitted to thin, lightweight laptops.
