Ryzen 7 7735HS: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is a Rembrandt-HS refresh from the 2023 Ryzen 7000 lineup — an 8-core design that carried the proven Zen 3+ recipe into a cheaper generation badge. The catalog matches it to 25 models across gaming and business lines, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 68 of the 69 games the site tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Ryzen 7 7735HS sits in 2026

A catalog score of 77.8 places the chip 45th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the upper tenth of the table. The neighborhood is crowded with newer-numbered parts: the Ryzen 7 7840U (79.3), Ryzen 5 7640U (78.7) and Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (78.3) just above, the Ryzen 7 6800H (77.6), Ryzen 5 7540U (77.6) and Ryzen 5 8640HS (77.5) just below. Notably, the 6800H — the design this refresh builds on — sits one rank below: the refresh bought a higher placement at the same core count, and the chip holds its ground against silicon a generation or two newer.

What the chip brings

The design is an 8-core, 16-thread configuration on a 6 nm process, rated at 35 W in its HS-class form: a 3.2 GHz base clock and up to 4.75 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 680M runs at up to 2,200 MHz — the same graphics block that made the 2022 Rembrandt generation notable, here in a lower-power envelope than the 45 W H-class parts. In public benchmarks the chip posts 1,895 single-core and 8,705 multi-core in Geekbench. Memory support and cache details were not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 68 of 69 cataloged games — from Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy at the demanding end through Helldivers 2, Alan Wake 2, Black Myth Wukong, Returnal and Counter-Strike 2 down to Civilization 6 at the light end. Starfield is the only holdout, listing the chip above its minimum but below its recommended CPU requirement. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and this fleet mixes discrete-GPU gaming machines with Radeon-only business laptops.

Laptops that carry it

The 25-model roster spans 2023–2025 and both worlds. Gaming: the Lenovo LOQ 15ARP10E at $1,440, Legion 5 15ARP8 at $1,159, Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 at $1,152 and the convertible ROG Flow X13 (2023) at $922. Business and mainstream: ThinkBook 16 and 14 Gen 7 plus ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 and E16 Gen 2 all at $1,007, with the IdeaPad Slim 3 at $1,232 and the accessible end covered by the Vivobook S 15, MSI Thin A15 and IdeaPad Slim 5 at $650. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency 81.5 and a performance index of 74.7, against a gaming index of 66 and mobility at 44.5 — everyday machines with genuine gaming stretches.

Bottom line

The Ryzen 7 7735HS is a value route to eight cores: recommended-CPU-tier coverage of effectively the whole tracked catalog, a modest 35 W envelope, and used prices starting at $650. It rewards buyers who check the GPU on each listing rather than paying for the newest generation badge. The catalog's compare pages against the Ryzen 7 8845HS, the Ryzen 7 6800H and the newer Ryzen AI 7 350 show exactly what each step up the ladder costs.
